"My hair is so dirty," says Fashion News Editor, Lauren Levinson. "I wanted a style that would distract from how greasy it is but still look pretty." Chen started by creating a deep part in Levinson's wavy hair.

She then loosely gathered a small section at the top of Levinson's head and divided it up into two pieces.

"Tie a loose knot with the two strands," instructs Chen, "being sure to loop the front section over the top."

Chen continued to tie loose knots in Levinson's hair, being sure to grab the loose ends from the previous knot into the chain.

She continued knotting all the way around Levinson's head, hugging the nape of her neck until she reached the opposite side from where she started.

Chen knotted the strands into a loose side strand and secured it with a clear band.

Taking the end of the strand, Chen then looped it back and wrapped it into a loose bun at the nape of Levinson's head.

She secured with large bobby pins. "If you have any loose strands anywhere, just tuck and pin them into the knotted chain," says Chen.

"You don't have to be too careful with this style," Chen says, "the messier the better.

"I have a habit of touching my hair," says Levinson. "I like that this updo keeps it off my shoulders and out of my face in a chic way."
