Behind-the-Ear Tuck

  1. Finish your look in just a few seconds with a polished ear tuck. Prep your strands for this chic look with a frizz-fighting leave-in serum . Then, simply brush the front sections of your hair against your scalp and tuck the ends behind your ears. If needed, you can secure the tucked strands with bobby pins or, if they’re long enough, connect them behind your head (and under your hair) with a tiny elastic.

Blowout

PDF download Download Article
  1. A blowout is classic, but classic for a reason. Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner, then towel dry your hair to remove excess moisture. Once your hair is damp (but not soaking wet), gently comb it through with a wide-tooth comb and apply a heat-protectant . Rough dry your hair on medium heat until your hair is 60-70% dry. Then, begin to blow-dry your hair in sections with a round brush and a blowdryer fitted with a concentrator nozzle . [1]
    • Roll each 1 inch (25 mm) section around your round brush and apply medium heat to it. Keep the brush in until the section has dried and cooled down, then unwind it and move onto another section.
    • Once your hair is completely blown dry, add a dime-sized amount of finishing cream onto your strands to prevent frizz and seal in moisture.
    • You can also use “a blowout brush,” adds Chiz. “Different brands have different versions of it, where you can actually dry and smooth your hair at the same time. And it just gives a very simple blowout look without being too done. Also, if you do it that way, it tends to last a little bit longer.” [2]

Fluffy Waves

  1. Wash and condition your strands with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner duo . After you get out of the shower, towel-dry your hair to absorb excess moisture, then distribute a pump’s worth of volumizing mousse into your strands. Scrunch your hair between your palms as you distribute the mousse, giving your mane a loose and wavy texture. Let your hair air-dry fully. [3]

Flip Over

PDF download Download Article
  1. Master this dramatic look that only takes a handful of minutes to style. Simply flip over your part to create a deep side part on the opposite side of your normal part. This style significantly switches up your look with little (to no) effort. If you have the extra time, the flip-over works particularly well when accompanied by loose waves—consider curling your hair with a large-barrel curling wand or blow-drying it with a round brush .

Faux Bangs

PDF download Download Article
  1. Give yourself a fake fringe using only your hair! While you can definitely get fake bangs to clip into your hair, you can also fake some fringe using just your hair—especially if your hair texture is super curly or coily. Make a reverse ponytail by gathering your hair toward the crown of your head, then let the tail of the pony fall forward over your forehead rather than backward. [5]
    • If desired, add a scarf or headband to make your “bangs” look more realistic.

Half-Up Twisted Heart

PDF download Download Article
  1. This half-up style puts a romantic twist on the classic look. Part your hair in the middle, then grab one 1 inch (25 mm) section of hair from each side of the part. Bring the sections together at the back of your head and secure them with a clear elastic. Then, gather two more 1 inch (25 mm) sections of hair from right below where you grabbed the first ones.
    • Starting on the right side of your head, take the new section and pull it around to the back of your head. Weave this section under and through the hair that you secured previously to create a loop. Repeat this step on the left side of your head.
    • You should now have three strands of hair hanging from the sections you created. Secure these three sections about 2 inches (51 mm) below the first elastic to create a heart shape.
    • To adjust the size of the heart, gently pull at the edges of either bottom section to loosen the loops to your desired shape.

Half-Up Bun

  1. Who said you have to choose between a cute bun and loose waves? Achieve both looks by parting your hair from ear to ear around the back of your head. You should now have top and bottom sections of hair, with the top section having slightly less hair than the bottom one. Gather the top section into a ponytail at the top of your head, then twist the ponytail into a neat or messy bun. Secure the bun with bobby pins to keep it in place.

  1. There’s nothing simpler (or more perfectly imperfect) than a messy bun. Spritz some volumizing dry shampoo onto your hair, then tease your hair at the roots with a fine tooth comb . Gather all of your hair in your hands and pull the strands into a messy ponytail. Loosely twist the pony into a bun at the base and secure it with a few bobby pins. [6]
    • Don’t worry too much about any stray strands poking out—the key word here is messy !

Top Knot

  1. Top knots are similar to a messy bun, but with a bit more oomph to them! Spritz some texturizing spray over your locks to give them some grit. Brush to distribute the texturizing spray evenly throughout your hair, then pull your back into a high ponytail. Secure the pony with an elastic, making sure to pull all of your loose hairs into the ponytail. Take the length of the pony and wind it around the elastic, then secure this section with some bobby pins.
    • Finish off with a spritz or two of hairspray to lock everything into place.

Sleek Bun

  1. Keep your long hair squared away with this chic, understated look. Brush through and detangle your hair, then apply a small amount of maximum hold hair gel to your roots. Comb your hair backward from roots to ends, working the gel through your hair as you brush. Add more product as needed until you have no flyaways. Then, gather your hair at the nape of your neck and twist it into a tight, low bun . Loop a hair elastic around the bun to secure it tightly, then use bobby pins or hairspray to smooth down any stray hairs. [7]

Low Bun

  1. The low bun is as simple as it is chic, making it a great look for long hair. Brush any tangles out of your hair, misting some leave-in conditioner over your strands for extra moisture and detangling power. Gather your hair into a low ponytail at the back of your head, then twist the pony into a bun at the nape of your neck. Secure the bun with a hair elastic and bobby pins (as needed) to keep it in place. Lightly mist your hair with extra strong hold hairspray .

Infinity Bun

  1. Amplify your look to infinity (and beyond) with this stylish and twisty bun. Brush through your hair to smooth out any tangles, then spritz a texturizing spray throughout your strands. Gather your hair at the nape of your neck and tie it into a loose ponytail. Then, tightly twist the length of the ponytail counter-clockwise in an upward motion until you reach the mid-point of its length.
    • Circle the twisted section of hair around the base of the ponytail in a counter-clockwise motion until you reach the top. Secure your hair with some bobby pins. The current shape of the bun should be curved, moving from left to right.
    • Continue twisting your locks about 2-3 more times and pin the end to your head to create a diagonal line from right to left. You should begin to see the vertical figure-eight shape take form.
    • Next, twist your hair upward and circle it downward to create a curve. Secure the shape with a few pins, but let your loose locks fall downward. Tuck the loose strands underneath the diagonal section of your hair and secure them with more bobby pins.

Ballet Bun

PDF download Download Article
  1. Tie your hair into a tight ponytail at your desired height—low, middle, or high—and comb through to make sure there are no bumps on your scalp. Slide a doughnut form onto your ponytail and bring it down to your elastic. Pull your ponytail up and let it fall evenly around the doughnut so that the form is not visible. Then, wrap the ends of your ponytail around the doughnut, twisting all of your hair in the same direction. [8]
    • If you find it hard to cover the form completely, try using a smaller doughnut accessory that will cover your hair more easily.
    • As your hair is in place over the form, completely covering it, carefully place another elastic over the bun, and let it sit around the base. This is meant to hold your hair neatly over the bun accessory.
    • Divide the ends of your hair that are still sticking out into two parts. Twirl each part around the base of your bun, going in opposite directions. The goal is to create an even hair ring around the bun.
    • Pin down the ends of your hair with bobby pins by pushing them into the doughnut form. Spritz with hairspray for extra hold, if desired.

Space Buns

  1. Hop on the futuristic space buns trend with this playful look. Brush or comb any knots out of your hair, then use a rat-tail comb to create a straight middle part that divides your hair into two equal sections. Gather one section into a ponytail at the crown of your head and secure it with an elastic. Make an identical ponytail at the same height on the other side of your head. [9]
    • Take one ponytail and wrap the length of the pony around the base, then secure it with bobby pins or hair ties. The tighter you wrap your hair, the more height your bun will have. Repeat this step on the other side of your head.
    • Once you’ve styled and adjusted your space buns to your liking, mist them with extra strong hold hairspray to secure the look.

French Twist

Use your dominant hand to place a bobby pin at the bottom center of your scalp and slide it vertically upward into your hair. Then, insert a row of 3-4 bobby pins vertically into your hair, crisscrossing them to secure the looks before pushing the last one downwards. [11]
    • Gather your loose hair into one hand and twist it tightly as you pull the hair up. Hold your hair at the top of your head, then insert U-shaped bobby pins horizontally into the base of the twist so that they intersect with the vertical pins and hold the style in place. Add as many pins as you need until the hair feels secure.
    • Let the ends of your French twist fall freely, then spray your hair lightly with hairspray to hold the style in place.

If you’re starting with clean hair, spritz texture spray onto damp hair. If your hair is not freshly washed, evenly disperse some dry shampoo into your locks.

    • Then, mist texturizing hair spray throughout the mid-lengths and ends of your hair.
    • Pull your hair back into a ponytail at a low, medium, or high height. Once you’ve found your desired placement, secure it with a hair tie.

    • Finish off the style by pulling a thin section of hair from your ponytail and wrapping it around the elastic to conceal it. Use a bobby pin to pin the ends in place on the underside of your pony.
