1. 1. How to: Messy Bun:
      1. Start with brushed hair, ensuring it’s free of tangles. Gather your hair and pull it back to the upper back of your crown, creating a ponytail. However, only pull the pony about a quarter of the way through, leaving a small loop on the top of your head.
      2. Next, take the excess hair that is not part of the ponytail and divide it into two sections. Bring each section to the front and tie them separately. Repeat this process by bringing the excess hair from the first tie to the back and securing it.
      3. Use bobby pins as needed to keep the bun in place. If desired, you can use hairspray to set the messy bun and add extra hold. This effortless style is perfect for a casual and chic look!

•  How to: Bubble Braid

1. 1. 1. Begin by creating a simple ponytail in the middle of the back of your head. Then, take another elastic and position it an inch or two below the first one to secure the second band. Repeat this process, spacing the elastics evenly down the length of your hair, leaving a ‘tail’ of 1-2 inches at the end for a stylish finish.
      2. Once all the elastics are in place, enhance the braid by gently pulling each section or ‘bubble.’ This step adds volume and creates a fuller, more textured look. The bubble braid is a playful and trendy hairstyle that’s easy to achieve!

• How to: Low Bun with a Twist

1. 1. 1. Begin by using a scrunchie to form a low ponytail. Pull only about one third of your  hair through the scrunchie, creating a small loop at the top. Next, take the excess hair that is not included in the ponytail and wrap it around the small loop. Finally, tuck the hair that was wrapped around into the scrunchie. Secure the chic low bun with bobby pins as needed for a polished and sophisticated look. For a more ‘slicked back’ look, try this wax stick!

• How to: Low Pony with Headband

1. 1. 1. Begin by creating a part and using a brush to bring out some of your bangs. Gather the remaining hair into a loose ponytail to temporarily keep it out of the way; it doesn’t need to be perfect as it will be redone later. Position the headband directly behind the exposed bangs. Secure the bangs by either combining them with the loose ponytail at the back or using bobby pins for a stylish and effortless ponytail look.

• How to: Claw Clip Hairstyle

• Start by positioning the elastic at the back middle of your head. Form a ponytail, and on the second pass through the elastic, leave about 90% of your hair out, maintaining a small loop at the top. Next, take the remaining hair, twist it, and position the twist next to the loop. Secure the twisted section below the loop using a claw clip. This chic and easy claw clip updo is now ready to work!
