The Quadruple Twist
From: Cozy's Complete Guide to Girls' Hair
Good For These Types: Straight, Wavy, Curly
Good For These Lengths: Short, Medium, Long
Hair Should Be: Damp by using a spray bottle
What You’ll Need: Spray bottle of water, fine-tooth comb, hair clip to section hair, small ponytail holder, mini-butterfly clips and hair gel or light styling cream
How To Do It:
1. Part hair in the middle with a fine-tooth comb, and gather a section of hair on one side of the part, from the part to the outer eyebrow.
2. Divide this section in half, with one half near the part and one half away from it. Clip the half closest to the part out of the way. Hold the remaining half and begin twisting it on a diagonal path toward the part. Twist firmly, fathering additional hair as you twist, but not so tightly that it hurts. Twist until you reach the part, then secure the end with a ponytail holder, letting excess hair hang down.

3. Unclip the half-section closest to the part and mist again. Using the same method, twist this section firmly in the direction of the part. Secure with a ponytail holder.
4. Repeat the process on the other side of the part to create two more twists, for a total of four. Attach pretty mini-butterfly clips to the ponytail holder on each twist. Rub a pea-sized amount of gel or light styling cream between your palms and scrunch the curls to finish
The Knotted Half Up
For something pretty that you can literally create in under a minute, look no further than this knotted half-up. It looks a little more creative and finessed that your standard half-up and can be done with or without the barrette.
Step 1: Pull half of your hair toward the back of your head. Make sure it’s free of lumps and bumps and that you’ve gathered an even amount from either side.
Step 2: Divide hair into two even sections.
Step 3: Tie your hair into one simple knot. Keep hair smooth while you do this. It may take one or two tries before you get the hang of it, but I promise it’s easy.
Step 4: Pull the top section of hair down and then secure with a barrette just underneath the knot. I love decorative hair barrettes, but you could also secure with bobby pins if that’s what you have on hand.
The Criss-Cross Low Bun
This look is perfect for a more formal or professional setting. And it’s definitely one of those ‘dos that garner a heck load of positive comments. People will be impressed when you tell them you created the look in your car in under five minutes.
Step 1: Separate hair into three sections. The two side sections should have even amounts of hair and the middle section should have more hair than the side sections. Gather the middle section into a low pony tail.
Step 2: Wrap the ponytail into a bun and secure with bobby pins.
Step 3: Pull the left section of hair over the top of your bun. Continue wrapping the hair under and around your bun and then secure with bobby pins.
Step 4: Repeat on the right side.
The Double-Wrap Head Scarf
I’m a huge fan of head scarves, especially since they’re so versatile and pack a lot of color. I usually keep one in my purse — sometimes tied around the handle. If you do the same and have one on hand, this is a great, casual look to try on.
Step 1: Tie a headscarf around your head, making sure one end is longer than the other. To make this easier, I like to create a half-up pony, tie the scarf and then release my hair over the scarf.
Step 3: Wrap the twisted section over the already placed scarf and secure with a several bobby pins behind the ear.
