Cutesy name: Beach Hippie

Time : 2 minutes

Works on:
· Medium or long hair
· Unwashed, dry, slept-on hair

Stuff to have handy:
· Large bobby pins
· 1-inch curling iron
· Shine spray
· Light-hold hairspray

How to:
Step 1
Flip hair over and lightly spritz hairspray on underside. Flip upright and spray on the top. Finger-tousle as it dries.
Step 2
Gather your bang-hair area and bobby-pin it out of the way so you can style the rest of your hair first.
Step 3
Curl 1-inch sections (away from your face). Start wrapping your hair around the iron at ear level, not above. And leave your ends out of the curling iron.
Step 4
Unpin the bang section and curl as you did the rest of your hair.
Step 5
Insert spread fingers into hair at the nape of your neck. Shake your hair (but do not run fingers through) to make the curls messy.
Step 6
Now pin back a piece of hair on each side of your part. (Remember, messy = good.) Secure them together with a bobby pin and mist with shine spray.

Cutesy name: Pin Curl Twist

Time : 5 minutes

Works on:
· Medium or long hair
· Sorta dirty hair

Stuff to have handy:
· Bobby pins
· Hairspray

How to:
Step 1
Brush out a 2-inch-wide bang section and secure back with two bobby pins. Loosen a bit with your fingers by tugging at the hairline.
Step 2
Now you're left with a section of hair over each ear. Run your index finger from behind your left ear up to the crown of your head. Smooth this section of hair into a low ponytail behind your left ear then twist the pony twice toward the back of your head. Secure the remaining tail with bobby pins, then repeat on the right side. Connect the two twists with a bobby pin.
Step 3
And that leaves the always fashionable "mullet" at the nape of your neck. You can leave it like that. We're all done.
Step 4
Just kidding. Back to the mullet. Hold your left index and middle finger under the bobby pins in Step 2, and roll a messy 1-inch section of hair up around your fingers to create a coil. Pinch it, slip it off your fingers and secure with a bobby pin. Don't attach it to the twists in Step 2 or you'll pull them out. Repeat with remaining hair until it's all pinned up.
Step 5
Mist with hairspray.

Cutesy name: High-volume Pony

Time : 5 minutes

Works on:
· Medium or long hair
· Dirty hair

Stuff to have handy:
· Headband
· Comb
· Hair elastic
· Clip (to hold hair out of the way)

How to:
Step 1
Divide hair from ear to ear over the top of your head. Clip that front section out of the way.
Step 2
At the crown of your head, take a two-inch section of the remaining hair and tease the area near your scalp to create the bouffant behind the headband. Messy is fine; we're about to cover it up anyway.
Step 3
Un-clip the front section and smooth it back over the teased area, gathering all your hair into a low pony. Reserve a one-inch section of your longest hair and secure the rest with an elastic.
Step 4
Wrap the reserved hair around the hair elastic and secure underneath with a bobby pin.
Step 5
Slip on a headband.

Cutesy name: Braidy Lady

Time: 5 minutes

Works on:
· Medium to long hair
· Wavy, curly or straight
· Freshly blow-dried or unwashed hair

Stuff to have handy:
· 1 small clear hair elastic
· 4 small bobby pins
· Texturizing cream
· Light hold hairspray

How to:
Step 1
Part hair where you usually do. Side or middle will work.
Step 2
Grab a section on each side of the part. (Section should be about as wide as two fingers.)
Step 3
Loosely braid both sections toward the back of your head where they will meet. Apply a dab of texturizing cream or pomade to the bottom of each braid so it doesn't unravel easily.
Step 4
Use a clear elastic to secure both braids together in back.
Step 5
Carefully slide the bobby pins in under the braid, along your scalp. This will keep the loose braids from falling out.

Cutesy name: Knotty and Nice

Time : 5 minutes

Works on:
· Medium to long hair
· Straight or blown-straight hair
· Smooth hair that's been thoroughly brushed out

Stuff to have on hand
· 2 tiny clear hair elastics
· Hairspray
· Shine-enhancing gloss (spray or serum)

How to:
Step 1
Part hair in the middle or slightly off center, but it's important to have a pretty balanced left and right side.
Step 2
Part hair all the way down to the nape of your neck as if you're making pigtails.
Step 3
Spritz shine spray or run shine serum over the left side of your hair, then secure one elastic about 1-2 inches from the bottom of that section. Repeat on the right side.
Step 4
Take both sections and twist them inward (toward each other) and back.
Step 5
Wrap them around each other until the ponies look like rope. Then tuck the bottom under and secure with several large bobby pins.
Step 6
Spray on a bit of hairspray to smooth down any flyaways.

Cutesy name: Bride-y Waves

Time: 5 minutes

Works on:
· Curly or wavy hair, or straight hair that's been curled with a 1-inch barrel iron

Stuff to have handy:
· Shine serum
· Light-hold hairspray
· 6-10 small bobby pins
· 2 large bobby pins
· Rat-tail comb or pencil

How to:
Step 1
Start by refining your curls. For straight hair, use the curling iron to add curl. For curly or wavy hair, smooth over hair with shine serum to eliminate frizz.
Step 2
Tease a very small section of hair in the back of your head near the crown. This is the place where you will anchor your bobby pins.
Step 3
Part hair in the center or slightly off center (stylist's choice).
Step 4
This hairstyle is created using the "pin and drape" method. To do this, loosely take locks of hair and bobby pin them to the section you previously teased. Use small bobby pins, and hide them as well as you can.
Step 5
Once all of your hair is pinned up, slide a pencil or the tail of a rat-tail comb under the section of hair in front of the pins and pull up slightly on it to add volume.
Step 6
Lightly mist hairspray all over.
Step 7
Attach a bobby pin or small clip to your favorite flower/brooch. It should be placed in your hair somewhere in between the back of your ear and the back of your head. Secure with two large bobby pins.
Step 8 (optional)
Loosen up one or two small pieces in front if you want some free-flowing wispy hairs around your face.

Cutesy name: Swept Away

Time: 10 minutes

Works on:
· Any hair length
· Wavy or straight hair that is loosely curled
· Unwashed hair

Stuff to have handy:
· Hairspray
· Bobby pins
· Shine spray

How to:
Step 1
Flip hair upside down. Mist hairspray all over the bottom while scrunching strands, and flip head back up. Spray the top while scrunching.
Step 2
Tease the under layer of hair where the up 'do will be secured (middle, back area of your scalp). This will help build volume to which you can secure the 'do.
Step 3
Start slightly twisting and pulling 3-inch sections of hair toward the area you teased. Save your bang section for last, so start just behind that area and work your way down. Balance is important when doing this; whenever you pull a section from one side, take a similar section from the other side. This will prevent your look from being lopsided.
Step 4
Bobby-pin each section to the teased area (see inset photo) -- criss-cross the pins to really anchor hair in place. After each section is placed and pinned, lightly mist hairspray on that section and smooth it out with your fingers.
Step 5
Complete this romantic up 'do by pinning back your bang hair. This way, you can control how much volume, if any, you want in front.
Step 6
Spritz shine spray all over and do one final mist of hairspray.
