Tousled Waves

Sleep in a braid - it's the easiest way to give you volume and waves by morning with a few minor touch-ups using a curling iron and some hairspray. Start with Batiste dry shampoo to give you some extra whoomph on second day hair. When styling use a boar-bristle brush to soften curls and give hair a healthy shine. If you forget to braid before you go to sleep, no worries. The same style can also be achieved by tying up two ponytails, tightly twisting each tail, and quickly blasting each with a hairdryer.
 

Grown-Up Hair Accessories

A super stylish way to dress up your hair in one easy step is through hair accessories.  This winter, Boho-chic and sportive headbands as well as wraps tied with a bold twist are having a pretty moment. Also use a simple gold barrette to amplify a casual tie back, or opt for a classy headband to vamp up your messy bun. Watch out for lots of very on trend sparkling, glittering jewels to spice up your evening style.

Sleek Low Pony

Sleek ponytails are having a major moment this year. It's so simple - just slick your hair all the way back, tie and ramp up the shine with some silicon spray. Add an interesting twist by wrapping hair around the pony. Even better, add a very on-trend extended hair tie using a metallic band or a black ribbon (for your day time look). Rather than styling the ponytail to the back, you can also just tie it to one side to create a very elegant alternative.

Messy Topknot

The topknot is another huge trend which has saved many of us from slaving away at our hair for an hour each morning. Perfect the topknot and you'll find it a chic and fast two-minute styling option. Slick back your hair into a high ponytail, spray on a little L'Oreal Sculpting Spritz then twist it around the base to create a perfect knot. Secure with bobby pins then loosen hair to create a just-right messy look. It looks like you tried when you didn't try at all.

Big Bold Braids

Braids have been so big for the past couple of seasons we just couldn't leave them off the list. A single loose fishtail off to the side gives off a low maintenance vibe or hook up two mini side plaits at the back for a pulled together look. Lock everything into place and keep flyaways under control with a few spritzes of L'Oréal's Studio Line hair spray. A rope braid is a quick and easy way to step up a ponytail. Split your pony into two sections, tightly twist each section, then twist the two together and secure.

Mix-it-up Styles

With a little bit of creativity, you can also mix up the latest styles by wearing two of them at the same time and still looked like you've tried - but haven't. Try a classy black hairband with a low pony, or a half-up, half-down messy topknot with beachy waves. The deep side part will make a big appearance this summer. Get ahead of the trend by wearing it together with a sleek low pony. Some Redken Frizz Dismiss gives strands some shine and controls unruly flyaways, so your overall look will read incredibly polished.
