Stop Worrying About How To Make Quick Hairstyles!
Sure, we love chic and well-groomed hairstyles, but it’s rare

Here's QUICK LIST
Name: Beach Hippie
Time: 2 minutes
Works on: Medium
or long hair, unwashed, dry, slept-on hair
Stuff to have handy: Large
bobby pins, curling iron, shine spray, light-hold hairspray
How to:
Step 1
Flip hair over and lightly spritz hairspray on underside.
Flip upright and spray on the top. Finger-tousle as it dries.
Step 2
Gather your bang-hair area and bobby-pin it out of the way so
you can style the rest of your hair first.
Step 3
Curl 1-inch sections (away from your face). Start wrapping
your hair around the iron at ear level, not above. And leave your ends out of
the curling iron.
Step 4
Step 4
Unpin the bang section and curl as you did the rest of your
hair.
Step 5
Insert spread fingers into hair at the nape of your neck.
Shake your hair (but do not run fingers through) to make the curls messy.
Step 6
Step 6
Now pin back a piece of hair on each side of your part.
(Remember, messy = good.) Secure them together with a bobby pin and mist with
shine spray.
Name: Pin Curl Twist
Time: 5 minutes
Works on: Medium
or long hair, sort of dirty hair
Stuff to have handy: bobby
pins, hairspray
How to:
Step 1
Brush out a 2-inch-wide bang section and secure back with two
bobby pins. Loosen a bit with your fingers by tugging at the hairline.
Step 2
Now you're left with a section of hair over each ear. Run
your index finger from behind your left ear up to the crown of your head.
Smooth this section of hair into a low ponytail behind your left ear then twist
the pony twice toward the back of your head. Secure the remaining tail with bobby
pins, then repeat on the right side. Connect the two twists with a bobby pin.
Step 3
And that leaves the always fashionable "mullet" at
the nape of your neck. You can leave it like that. We're all done.
Step 4
Just kidding. Back to the mullet. Hold your left index and
middle finger under the bobby pins in Step 2, and roll a messy 1-inch section
of hair up around your fingers to create a coil. Pinch it, slip it off your
fingers and secure with a bobby pin. Don't attach it to the twists in Step 2 or
you'll pull them out. Repeat with remaining hair until it's all pinned up.
Step 5
Step 5
Mist with hairspray.
Name: Side-swept Bun
Time: 5 minutes
Works on: Medium or long hair
Stuff to have handy: hair stick,
shine serum or spray, comb, hair elastic
How to:
Step 1
Make a deep side part with a comb. Apply a bit of shine serum
all over and comb through to tame flyaways.
Step 2
Gather your hair into a low side pony behind the ear opposite
your part. Secure with a hair elastic.
Step 3
Wrap the tail up toward your ear, then under the pony (into a
bun), leaving the ends free.
Step 4
Pierce the bun with your hair stick, making sure to thread
one end of the stick through the elastic before letting it pop out the other
side. This holds the bun in place.
Name: Hello, Sailor
Time: 10 minutes
Works on: Medium
or long hair, dirty-ish hair -- a day after shampooing
Stuff to have handy: curling
iron, bobby pins, hairspray
How To:
Step 1
Make a side part. Starting with the bigger side, gather front
section from the ear to your part and smooth it so the hairline is bump-free.
Then twist several times upward toward your part.
Step 2
Secure the hair along the line of the twist with several
bobby pins. At the end of the twist, criss-cross bobby pins to anchor the twist
in place. Repeat on the smaller side.
Step 3
Divide the hanging hair in back into 1-inch sections and wrap
around a curling iron. Hold the barrel vertically to create a spiral.
Step 4
Step 4
Once all sections are curled, mist with hairspray and shake
your hair gently to loosen the curls.
Name: High-volume Pony
Time: 5 minutes
Works on: Medium or long hair, dirty hair
Stuff to have handy: Headband,
comb, hair elastic, clip (to hold hair out of the way)
How to:
Step 1
Divide hair from ear to ear over the top of your head. Clip
that front section out of the way.
Step 2
At the crown of your head, take a two-inch section of the
remaining hair and tease the area near your scalp to create the bouffant behind
the headband. Messy is fine; we're about to cover it up anyway.
Step 3
Un-clip the front section and smooth it back over the teased
area, gathering all your hair into a low pony. Reserve a one-inch section of
your longest hair and secure the rest with an elastic.
Step 4
Wrap the reserved hair around the hair elastic and secure
underneath with a bobby pin.
Step 5
Slip on a headband.
Name: Mile-high Curls
Time: 5 minutes
Works on: Any length -- super cute
option for short hair, natural wave or curl, dirty hair
-- day or two after shampooing
Stuff to have handy: Slim,
jeweled headband, bobby pins, curling iron, shine spray
How to:
Step 1
Pump up any flattened or low-volume curls on top. To do this,
wrap sections of hair around the barrel of a curling iron, starting at the
root. (No need to get the ends or to use the clamp.)
Step 2
Loosely grab chunks of hair in back, then bobby pin and
spray, tucking the ends under so you don't see straight pieces.
Step 3
Slip on a slim headband, but keep it close to your hairline.
We have it about an inch or so back.
Step 4
Top with shine spray. The overall effect should be touchable
and fun, not too perfect.
Name: Wavy Pompadour
Time: 5 minutes
Works on: Any length, wavy/curly hair or thick, straight hair
Stuff to have handy: Bobby
pins
How to:
Step 1
Loosely bobby-pin a two-inch bang section back. Secure it
closer to your hairline than to the crown of your head to keep this look
sophisticated, not preppy.
Step 2
Those with high volume are now looking at a major case of
"triangle head." To slim down the hair's silhouette, try this trick
with your sides: Gather a small section of hair from just above your ear on
each side, leaving some hair loose over your ear (see picture). Twist these
sections, rolling them down toward your ear, and secure with a bobby pin. The
roll should be pretty tight to the head. Repeat on the other side for the full
de-triangulation effect.
Step 3
Step 3
Mist with shine spray.
Name: Bun o' Curls
Time: 2 minutes
Works on:Short or medium length
hair,Curly hair
Stuff to have handy: Bobby
pins, hair elastic, fine-tooth comb, hair spray, shine serum
How to:
Step 1
Smooth shine serum over your top layer of hair.
Step 2
Secure tightly into a ponytail. Smooth any strays by lightly
combing them into place.
Step 3
Step 3
Use bobby pins to anchor your curls to the sleek hair
surrounding the elastic to camouflage it.
Step 4
Step 4
Give an overall shot of hairspray to finish.
Name: Pin-up Curves
Time: 10 minutes
Works on: Curly or wavy hair in any
length, straight-haired girls can pull it off too with five extra minutes of
curling iron time
Stuff to have handy: Curling iron, bobby
pins, hairspray, clip (to keep hair out of the way)
How to:
Step 1
Run your index fingers from mid-ears toward the back of your
head until they touch at the back of your head. Pin up the top half of your
hair to get it out of the way for now.
Step 2
Gather the bottom of your hair at the base of your neck. Now,
make a "roller" out of two fingers, and fold your hair up to the
clipped section. (See inset photo No.1.) Bobby-pin it in place. Messy is fine;
the pins will be hidden by the curls you'll make on top.
Step 3
Remove the top clip and free the sides of your hair. Re-clip
the top bang section.
Step 4
Pull a side section down and back (the direction is
important), then twist upward and secure with bobby pins so it lays flat. (See
inset photo No.2.) Repeat with other side.
Step 5
Now comes the fun part: curls. Holding the iron horizontally,
wrap a 1-inch section of hair from the crown of your head around the barrel.
After five to 10 seconds, unwind it and stretch the curl back 'til it hangs
over the bobby pins from step 1. Be sure to break up the curl a little with
your fingers.
Step 6
Repeat until you've curled the whole top section and mist
with hairspray.
Name: Braidy Lady
Time: 5
minutes
Works on: Medium
to long hair, wavy, curly or straight, freshly blow-dried or unwashed hair
Stuff to have handy: 1
small clear hair elastic,
4 small bobby pins, texturizing cream, light hold hairspray
How to:
Step 1
Part hair where you usually do. Side or middle will work.
Step 2
Grab a section on each side of the part. (Section should be
about as wide as two fingers.)
Step 3
Loosely braid both sections toward the back of your head
where they will meet. Apply a dab of texturizing cream or pomade to the bottom
of each braid so it doesn't unravel easily.
Step 4
Use a clear elastic to secure both braids together in back.
Step 5
Carefully slide the bobby pins in under the braid, along your
scalp. This will keep the loose braids from falling out.
Name: Knotty and Nice
Time: 5 minutes
Works on: Medium
to long hair, straight or blown-straight hair, smooth hair that's been
thoroughly brushed out
Stuff to have on hand: 2
tiny clear hair elastics,
hairspray, shine-enhancing
gloss (spray or serum)
How to:
Step 1
Part hair in the middle or slightly off center, but it's
important to have a pretty balanced left and right side.
Step 2
Part hair all the way down to the nape of your neck as if
you're making pigtails.
Step 3
Spritz shine spray or run shine serum over the left side of
your hair, then secure one elastic about 1-2 inches from the bottom of that
section. Repeat on the right side.
Step 4
Take both sections and twist them inward (toward each other)
and back.
Step 5
Wrap them around each other until the ponies look like rope.
Then tuck the bottom under and secure with several large bobby pins.
Step 6
Spray on a bit of hairspray to smooth down any flyaways.
Name: Bride-y Waves
Time: 5 minutes
Works on: Curly
or wavy hair, or straight hair that's been curled with a 1-inch barrel iron
Stuff to have handy: Shine serum, light-hold
hairspray, 6-10 small bobby pins, 2 large bobby pins, rat-tail comb or pencil
How to:
Step 1
Start by refining your curls. For straight hair, use the
curling iron to add curl. For curly or wavy hair, smooth over hair with shine
serum to eliminate frizz.
Step 2
Tease a very small section of hair in the back of your head
near the crown. This is the place where you will anchor your bobby pins.
Step 3
Part hair in the center or slightly off center (stylist's
choice).
Step 4
This hairstyle is created using the "pin and drape"
method. To do this, loosely take locks of hair and bobby pin them to the
section you previously teased. Use small bobby pins, and hide them as well as
you can.
Step 5
Step 5
Once all of your hair is pinned up, slide a pencil or the
tail of a rat-tail comb under the section of hair in front of the pins and pull
up slightly on it to add volume.
Step 6
Lightly mist hairspray all over.
Step 7
Attach a bobby pin or small clip to your favorite
flower/brooch. It should be placed in your hair somewhere in between the back
of your ear and the back of your head. Secure with two large bobby pins.
Step 8 (optional)
Step 8 (optional)
Loosen up one or two small pieces in front if you want some
free-flowing wispy hairs around your face.
Name: Swept Away
Time: 10 minutes
Works on: Any
hair length, wavy or straight hair that is loosely curled, unwashed hair
Stuff to have handy: Hairspray, bobby
pins, shine spray
How to:
Step 1
Flip hair upside down. Mist hairspray all over the bottom
while scrunching strands, and flip head back up. Spray the top while
scrunching.
Step 2
Tease the under layer of hair where the up 'do will be
secured (middle, back area of your scalp). This will help build volume to which
you can secure the 'do.
Step 3
Start slightly twisting and pulling 3-inch sections of hair
toward the area you teased. Save your bang section for last, so start just
behind that area and work your way down. Balance is important when doing this;
whenever you pull a section from one side, take a similar section from the
other side. This will prevent your look from being lopsided.
Step 4
Bobby-pin each section to the teased area (see inset photo)
-- criss-cross the pins to really anchor hair in place. After each section is
placed and pinned, lightly mist hairspray on that section and smooth it out
with your fingers.
Step 5
Step 5
Complete this romantic up 'do by pinning back your bang hair.
This way, you can control how much volume, if any, you want in front.
Step 6
Step 6
Spritz shine spray all over and do one final mist of
hairspray.
