1. Ponytail
Start by brushing your hair to remove any tangles. Gather your hair at the back of your head and hold it in place with one hand. Use a hair tie to secure the ponytail in place.
2. Bun
Gather your hair into a ponytail and twist it into a bun shape. Use bobby pins to secure the bun in place. For a messier look, pull out a few strands of hair around your face.
3. Braid
Part your hair down the middle and create two small braids on either side of your head. Secure the ends of the braids with a hair tie and wrap them around the back of your head, securing them in place with bobby pins.
4. Half-Up, Half-Down
Take the top half of your hair and pull it back, securing it in place with a hair tie. Leave the bottom half of your hair loose.
5. Top Knot
Gather your hair into a high ponytail and twist it into a bun shape on the top of your head. Use bobby pins to secure the bun in place.
6. Twisted Ponytail
Create a low ponytail and secure it with a hair tie. Split the hair above the hair tie in half and flip the ponytail up and over the split. Tuck the ends of the ponytail into the split and secure with bobby pins.
