The Haphazard Fishtail
In the true essence of a cool-girl, don't try to hard. Grab a section of hair, small or large and start fishtail braiding. Don't worry about positioning or thickness. You can even rough it up a bit with a bristled brush.

The Faux Bob
If you have long hair, you might want to test-drive a bob without the long term commitment. This is how to do it: part the front of your hair the way you normally would and work in a texturizing spray. Tease hair at the ends and spritz with extra-hold hairspray. Begin rolling hair inwards to the nape of the neck and pin, pin, pin. Add a minimal accessory for that extra cool-girl effect.

The Over-Under Headband
Talk about a big-impact style with minimal effort. Work a shine pomade into hair and section into three parts. Comb the middle section straight back and position headband, keeping sides out. Pull remaining sections over headband a pin under top layers. Keep hair straight for a sleek and modern look.

The Comb-Back
Remember those flexible comb headbands from the 90's? From what we can see, they're having a moment. For second day hair, slide back a headband in your hair color and tie the rest in a mid-level ponytail. Keep hair out of your face by spritzing with a shiny finishing spray.

The Sectioned Pony
Is your plain pony lacking major inspiration? Tie hair at the nape of the neck and continue tying in even increments until you reach the end. Puff up your sections by gently tugging on all sides. We encourage flyways here, so don't worry about topping off with any products.
