1. Pearl Twist: When you want to opt for a ponytail, it doesn’t have to be boring. Use a teasing comb and some texturizing spray like Amika Un.Done Texture Spray ($10) for serious volume at the root, then focus your French twist downward and secure with pearl pins.

2. Braided Bun: Time to show off that texture, girl! Embrace your curly side with tightly coiled bangs coupled with a reverse French-braided top knot.

3. Braided Ponytail: To bump up the texture, toss in a braid that you can wrap right into your go-to pony. Keep the vibe a bit more laid-back by pulling apart the braid.

Skulle lige prøve at lave en slicked back hairstyle på mig selv. Super duper nemt. Brugte igen Vision produkter... we love them. De er uden parabener og godkendt til grøn salon. @visionhaircare #slickedbackhair #frisør #frisørkøge #køge #hair #hairstyle #newhairstyle

4. Slicked-Back: The wet-hair look, seen on everyone from Beyoncé to Selena Gomez, isn’t going anywhere any time soon. And that’s good news because, with the help of a little styling cream or gel like Bumble and Bumble Gel ($26), you can keep your slicked-back style going strong all day long.

5. Side-Parted Braids: Add a fun twist on the trending hairstyle by opting for a side part rather than a straight-down-the-middle option. Your locks will be away from your face so you can dance the night away.

6. Tight Bun: Calling all you minimalist ladies, this is the look to rock when you want your style to do the talking. For second- or third-day hair, turn to a tight bun that is as sleek as it is chic.

7. Crown Braid: For some serious boho vibes, a crown braid will do the trick. It’s a great way to show off a new pair of earrings or a chic neck tattoo — plus all those flyaways will be an issue of the past.
