Tip: Secure them well with bobby pins so they stay put while you’re moving.
7. The Twisted Half-Up
This is another easy half-up style. Instead of a bun, you just twist two sections of hair back and pin them together. It’s super quick and looks really pretty. It’s great for medium to long hair.
Tip: Add a decorative pin where you secure the twists for extra sparkle.
6. Low Braided Ponytail
Combine the simplicity of a low ponytail with a braid. You can braid the entire ponytail or just a section near the elastic. It’s a little more secure than a regular ponytail and adds a nice detail.
Tip: Use a little hairspray on the braid to keep it from getting frizzy.
5. Accessorized Ponytail
Sometimes, all a simple ponytail needs is a little something extra! A colorful scarf, a fancy clip, or a fun scrunchie can totally change the look. It’s the easiest way to elevate your style in seconds.
Tip: Match your accessory to your outfit for a cohesive look.
4. The Headband Updo
This is a clever trick using a stretchy headband. Put the headband around your head, over your hair. Then, take sections of hair and tuck them into the back of the headband. It creates an instant updo that’s surprisingly secure.
Tip: This works best with hair that’s shoulder length or longer.
3. Braided Pigtails
Braided pigtails are adorable and keep your hair totally contained. Divide your hair into two sections and braid each one. It’s a classic summer look that’s great for any age. Plus, they keep you cool!
Tip: Secure the ends with small elastics that match your hair color.
