For the least maintenance possible, you can always toss your tresses back into a ponytail with an elastic band, a rubber band, a scrunchie or other hair ties. Just as quickly and just as easily, you can also introduce a new look with a headband!

Once you brush your hair straight or work with your curls, you can gently slide a headband on for a new look. Very convenient and easy to use, any woman can benefit from a headband, no matter how short or long her hair might be.

Finally, take the hairpin and stick it through yourhair, making sure the style feels strong and securely fastened.

Five minutes…

If you’re planning a special night out – a date, a formal eventor a girls’ night to a club or bar – you’ll probably care more aboutyour hair than if you’re just going to the supermarket, the library orrunning some other errands. For a beautiful yet simple style, firsttwist your hair atop your head and secure it there with a claw clip. Using a curling iron,create gentle spiral curls with the lengths of hair that stick out fromthe clip. You might want to spray a little gel or hairspray to keep thestyle before letting your hair down. Once you have added a nice displayof curls, remove the clip and let your hair fall as it may. You’ll havepretty waves and gentle curls dusting your shoulders and your back inno time! If you know how to braid hair, you merely need to add your owncreativity to produce a beautiful and unique hairstyle. For a retrolook, part your hair directly down the center. If your hair is longenough in the front, make three “microbraids” on each side of yourhead, starting at your hairline, just outside the part. Once you’vecreated the braids, pull them toward the back of your head and fastenthem together with a small elastic band or a tiny barrette. If yourhair is not long enough for this style, consider braiding two pigtailsdown either side of your head for a youthful look.
