Picture this: Friday night, there’s a party, you’ve already spent two hours trying to figure out what to wear… and you’re almost ready. Except you don’t know what to do with your hair. It’s just “hanging” there! Well don’t let it hang. Your hair can be your biggest asset and that’s why I’m going to teach you five easy ways you can go from “hanging” to “banging” –and make a great impression.

Number One - we’ll call this one, the spicy pony-tail

The poney-tail -an eternal classic all women know how to do, whenever they don’t want to deal with their hair. Whenever your hair is too puffy, too oily, too boring, we get that elastic out and, here we are, with a pony-tail. Now let’s take that eternal classic and turn into something utterly funky. First, put your front hair, or your fringe, in front of your eyes. Take your elastic and tie the rest of your hair in a high pony-tail. Now take the loose hair, and put it on a roll for ten minutes. After that, your front hair would have taken a big curl shape. Take out the roll, then take it backwards, keeping its form intact. Just pin down the end of the fringe, and you’re done! So classy!

Number Two –the half pony-tail puff

Aha… Now we’re talking about the half pony-tail. Take the hair from your eyebrow level back, and tie it up. Try to have the knot high but not too high… Then start pulling your hair from the front, little by little, trying to get your hair to go puffy. Once the hair is equally puffed up, spray it up! You’ll look fabulous.

Number three –the casually “just got out of bed look”

Don’t you just love that look? Hair looks so completely casual, natural… that it looks more beautiful and sexy then if you had spent 3 hours on it. Except it doesn’t always work out “au naturel.” So here’s the trick. To get the best result, wash your hair before you go to bed, and braid it. Now don’t do mini braids –do medium braids. Take a good chunk of hair, not too big and not too small. Sleep on it and when you wake up in the morning, let your hair loose…

Number Four –the new-age “chignon”

Leave your front hair down, in front of your eyes. Take the rest of your hair into your hand and roll it behind your head as if you were tying a chignon. Tie up the bottom, and make sure you leave the end of your hair to come out of knot, and let if fall down. You can spice this one up by adding little hair accessories to the bottom of the knot. For the fringe, blow-dry it quickly and style it to one side. And off you go.
