For anyone looking for an EASY tribal hair style, or even a sofisticated caberet do, this is totaly the hair style for you. It's quick, it's simple, and it's so easy you're going to smack yourself in the head and go "Why the hell didnt I think of that?!"

I wear my hair like this nearly all the time, in some variant of the style.

You will need the following.

1 pair of scissors
1 sock in a color close to that of your hair
(2 socks if you're doing pigtails)
2 hair bands
(4 if you're doing pig tails)
Bobby Pins (about 4)
(None depending on the style you choose)

Take the sock and cut a small hole about the size of a nickle or quarter in the toe.

Turn the sock inside out.

Starting at the top of the sock, roll the sock, gathering it into a little doughnut shape.

Pull hair into a pony tail.

Slide sock over ponytail, pull hair through the hole of the doughnut.

Lean forward, and let hair fall around the sock, covering it.

Secure with second hair tie.

Confused? Watch this.

Now, you can finish it off like she does, or just wrap your hair around it in sections. (which is what I do)

If you have nice long hair, you can leave it down, which gives some movement to your back...always a bonus. (I do this too)
If you did pigtails and leave it down, you have the anime "Sailor Moon", "Meatball", or "Odango" hair style.

If you want OMGMASSIVE hair, ratt and tease your hair before putting it into a bun. You'll get this messy wild look which is pretty awesome.

My bff and I wore the styles during our last preformance. She wore pig tails, I did the bun with the hair down.
