5-Minute Beach Waves
- Use your favorite texturizing product on damp hair.
- Divide your hair in half and roll each section away from your face.
- Use a blowdryer to blast the twist of hair until dry.
- Repeat on the other side.
You’ll end up with perfectly undone waves just right for the beach. This technique is also a wonderful way to add volume to limp hair or to smooth unruly wavy or curly hair into submission.

2-Step Updo
- Start by splitting your hair into two equal sections, and then wind your strands into a thick twist.
- Roll up the twist to form a doughnut shape at the nape of your neck. Pin up the twist with bobby pins at the top, at the bottom, and on both sides. Carefully pull style to thicken the bun.
That’s it! A simple chignon in under two minutes flat. It doesn’t get much quicker or easier than that.

3. No-Crease Ponytail
- Gather two small sections of hair right behind the ears and knot around your pony.
- Stick in one bobby pin at the base to keep your style from unraveling.
Then when you’re ready to let your hair back down again, you can easily loosen the knot and you’re good to go. Simple and stylish; no hair tie required.
