In case you hadn't noticed, it’s been a big week for Britney Spears. She kicked things off with the release of our fabulous Glamour cover and revealing interview. She turned 27-years-old on Tuesday. And to cap it all off, the comeback kid has stepped out with this lovely, cool hairdo. What a great way to end five fabulous days, right?

Now, while the style is quite nice from the front, it’s the cool, messy bun-like shape in the back that takes the whole thing up a notch to amazing. Here's a shot of the rear view of this 'do:

All you’d need to recreate it is a whole handful of hairpins. Here’s what I’d do: I’d pull by hair back toward the middle of the back of my head like I was about to put it in a ponytail, but instead, I’d grab push it up and in toward my scalp, tucking in some pins here and there. Then, I’d take locks of hair and coil them around in a sort of messy bun with pieces overlapping and crossing each other here and there while pinning them down. Then I’d spray the whole thing with hairspray and hope for the best.

Are you into this updo? Think it looks too tricky to try on your own? Are you happy that Britney seems to be on the road to getting her life back on track? Think she’s pulling off her big comeback beautifully? Discuss.
