Step 2: Tie the remainder of your hair into another ponytail about an inch or two under the top tail.

Step 3: Finally arrange your hair where it hides the lower tail.

Tip: You can wrap your hair around the elastic bands to make it seamless.

Tip: If you’re in a rush, you can stop here for an easier, but still up-scale look.

Step 3: Continue pulling the looped bun by pulling your ponytail through the gap.

Step 3: give it a good spritz. Thicker hair may need smaller sections.

The Low Knot is a super easy hairstyle for the days you need your hair out of your face but still want to look like you put forth a little effort.

Step 2:  Cross the sections over each other and tie them into a knot.

Step 3: Without releasing the two pieces, tie them together one more time, and secure with an elastic band.

Step 4: Tuck the remaining hair above the knot.

Tip: You can use bobby pins or clips to make the knot even more secure.

The French Twist is another style that looks tough but is simple. For this style, it is best to have “dirty” hair, as freshly washed hair may not be able to hold.

Step 1: Begin by teasing the sides and ends of your hair for a little more volume and to help the style take shape.

Step 2: Comb back your hair as if you’re going to do a mid-pony.

Step 3: Begin rolling your hair inward, making sure the ends are tucked into the center of the bun.

Step 4: Continue rolling until you reach your head and pin back the hair as if you’re crocheting or sewing through fabric.

Step 5: Hairspray for extra hold.

Tip: Thicker hair will need extra bobby pins to secure the twist in place.
