Whether it’s time or lack of hair styling commitment that has gotten the best of you, some days the chance to get your locks into a look worthy of a red carpet celebrity showdown just doesn’t happen. For those days, these quick hair fixes are handy to keep in mind.


 

Pull off a Polished Ponytail

Fergie hairstylesYes, the ponytail is the perfect lazy day hairstyle and is very quick and easy to style, but that doesn’t mean it can’t look flash. Take it from simple to sexy by ensuring that you style the pony high on your head. Tame it with gel slicked locks or some backcombing and you’ll have a polished ponytail that is way more chic than casual and virtually fuss-free to create.

A deep side part will add a dramatically chic touch by prompting your hair to drape across your face in an Old Hollywood-esque finish. Give it a try the next time you’re in a pinch by using a pintail comb to separate your hair into a part level with your ear and then sweep your hair across your forehead and face.


 

Get Some Headband Help
