Love this braided headband variation! I tried this last week, and it was so easy! Here's how I did it:

• Wash hair the night before to give it some texture when you do it the next morning.
• Part hair in the middle.
• Grab a Section of hair about 2 1/2 inches wide right behind your ear on the left side.
• Lift section of hair out away from your head .
• Begin braiding upward and toward the other side of your head.
• Secure end of braid with a clear elastic band.
• Tuck behind ear and secure with two bobby pins.
• Curl 4 even sections of hair with a wide-barrel curling iron.
• Turn head upside down and spray with lighthold hairspray for volume.

Cute and simple! Achieve it by:

• Pull hair into a loose pony on top of your head and secure.
• Take a 2'' section of hair and braid normally. Put aside.
• Tease remaining hair in pony with a teasing comb.
• Wrap teased pony around elastic and pin into place.
• Take the braid you created and wrap around the bun.
• Pin into place in the back of bun.
• Spray with lighthold hairspray.

Girly twist on the classic casual bun! I'm loving how effortless this look is. Makes me want to buy 100 bows in different colors and patterns!

• Gather hair into a loose bun in the center of the back of your head.
• Pull bun outward to make it appear messy.
• Secure loose hairs with bobby pins underneath the bun.
• Pin hair bow directly underneath messy bun.
• And you're done- how easy was that?!

Romantic and elegant, this new take on braids has it all! Get it by:

• Start by running a small amount of volumizing mousse throughout your hair.
• Finger comb front section of hair back to hide your part.
• Grab a 3'' wide section of hair from above one ear and loosely braid. Secure with a clear elastic.
• Wrap braid to opposite side of head and hide within your hair, pinning to secure.
• Gather the rest of your hair and begin loosely braiding at the nape of your neck until the end.
• Secure with elastic and loosely pull at the side of the braid.
• Spray with lighthold hairspray.

Yes, it's true- bows in hairstyles are my new obsession. Blame it on Pinterest- these hairstyles are popping up everywhere and they just keep getting cuter! I'm actually wearing this hairstyle as I write this and I love how it keeps the hair out of my face while remaining elegant and pulled together. Here's how I did it:

• Pull front section of hair ranging from ear to ear and pull upward.
• Tease with a teasing comb and form into a pouf.
• Secure with bobby pins at the crown.
• Take bottom half of hair and pull into a tight pony.
• Wrap hair around the pony into a tight bun and pin underneath.
• Pin hair bow underneath bun.
