Add Some Bling To Your Bedhead

Sometimes you can just roll out of bed and look fab. Make it look intentional–not sloppy–by throwing on a dainty headband.

Skip The Hair Tie

Pull a small, front section of hair from each side of your face and create a micro braid. Tightly braid both together and ease the ends to keep it from unraveling.

Get The Most Out Of Your Pony

Use second-day texture to your advantage. Create a messy and loose French from the crown to the nape of the neck and tie hair into a low ponytail. Wrap a piece of hair around the base to hide elastic and pin to secure.

Pull Hair Out Of Your Face

Create a center part and twist front sections back to create a flip, then pin to secure. Wear a headband along the hairline for a romantic feel.

Try An Old-School Approach

Trends are constantly circulating-we're sure you remember this look from middle school. It's back and more chic than ever. Tie hair into a low pony and add elastics in 1-inch increments until you reach the end.

Knot It Up

Pull hair into a half-up ponytail and secure with a small rubber elastic. Loop ponytail through the base (under the elastic) to create the illusion of a knot.

Get Creative With Your Headband Placement

For an unexpected and beautiful look, wear your headband backward and pin to secure. Weave hair in and out through the headband to hide bobby pins.

Go Back To Basics

Never underestimate the power of a simple side braid. Slide on a thick headband for a fun, sporty feel.
