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
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
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.

PIN CURL TWIST
Time it took us: 5 minutes
Works on:

· Sorta dirty hair
Stuff to have handy:
· Bobby pins
· Hairspray
Works on:
· Medium or long hair
· Sorta dirty hair
Stuff to have handy:
· Bobby pins

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
Mist with hairspray.

SIDE-SWEPT BUN
Time it took us: 5 minutes
Works on:

Stuff to have handy:
· A hair stick, or bracket thingy like the one pictured

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.

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. (See inset photo No.1.)
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
Once all sections are curled, mist with hairspray and shake your hair gently to loosen the curls.

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
Mist with shine spray.

PIN-UP CURVES
Time it took us: 10 minutes

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.

Carefully slide the bobby pins in under the braid, along your scalp. This will keep the loose braids from falling out.
