Description
So I went as Nymphadora Tonks to the HP premiere, but I have long hair. So I worked this out to rig my hair into a short style like hers. (Google it if you want to compare).

I figured I'd take pictures of the process because it may work for other things to if you want to fake a shorter hairstyle without cutting off your locks.

Obviously the effect is intended to look best in the front, not all around.

How To:
Section off hair from the front and very top. Bundle out of the way.
Section off hair from the middle all the way around your head and brush to one side. Braid.
Pull end of braid across head and pin ends to the opposite side. Pin firmly against head.
Small sections at a time, pin remaining hair up over the braid. Works best if you lift the section of hair up, put through pin, pin down into the braid, and then let hair fall over the pin.
Let down top and front hair.
Drape sections of hair over the back, covering the rest of the hair, make sure it falls at the same length as the rest or higher to get a choppy effect.

For Tonks- finish by spraying pink and purple!
For other use- finish by hairspraying.
