hair ideas to try when you're bored

want va-va-voom volume? if you wear your hair parted to one side every day

top knot today? prep your locks

curl your hair before starting an updo. starting

got 10 seconds? take a section of hair from one side of your head

turn a boring bun into a chic chignon. braid your ponytail before twisting it into a knot at the nape of your neck

reinvent your ponytail: instead of securing hair

go deep. part your hair two inches above the ear

short hair ideas

apply hair gel to damp hair

coco rocha

wax between your hands and use your fingers to give hair a spiky lift

who says you can't switch up short hair? use a curling iron to wave longer pieces and create fun texture

have your stylist trim your hair

a crystal-studded clip

short hair can be flattering on round face shapes. choose a cut that's tighter at the bottom

comb your hair straight forward. bangs

use a tiny round brush to create wavy texture while blow drying short hair

length hair ideas

“lob” that's shorter in the back and longer in the front

if your ponytail won't lay flat when you pull your hair back

flip out the ends of your hair

emma stone

your hair super straight and add a clip-in hair extension on one side to create an asymmetrical bob

if your hair isn't long enough

damp hair

wear collarbone skimming hair tucked into your jacket. you're a star

blow out hair so it's super sleek. length hair is certifiably the swooshiest

to downplay a long face

long hair needs frequent deep conditioning treatments. once a week

make a hair “flower”: pull back the top section into two braids and twist hair into a chignon where they meet

rodarte fall/winter 2013-2014

want long locks asap? pop a hair vitamin

just because your hair is long doesn't mean you should skip trims. ask your stylist

long hair weighing you down? apply a root lift spray before you blow to add volume

give your blowout some bounce by coiling the ends around a round hairbrush. let the brush sit in the hair while it cools to set the wave

go short

give your long hair a virtual makeover in the try on! studio

revive second day curls by spritzing

sleep on a satin pillowcase to keep curls intact overnight. the slippery material won't rough up hair like cotton fibers do

if your curls are on the side

try curly “bangs.” ask your stylist to trim 3 ringlets above your brows to frame your face

want your hair off your face? pull back the top section of hair

do the twist and pin. twist sections of hair and pin at the nape of your neck

not a fan of your natural curl pattern? perms work

considering bangs? try a clip-in fringe before you commit. choose a piece made from real human hair

need a trim? part hair to the side and pin bangs out of your face

them down the middle and pin each half

tease your bangs and brush them straight back to create a pompadour

try super short micro-bangs. they're often more flattering than they look

don't feel like washing your hair? try a waterfall braid

rub a couple drops of hair oil between your palms before braiding to make the process smoother and add subtle sheen to hair

weave a ribbon into your braid. looks chic

accessorize your hair

want to wear your hair down

a headscarf hides a multitude of hair disasters. roll a silk scarf into a skinny strip and tie it around your head

secure your bun

wash your hair before bed and braid it while it's still damp. undo the braids in the morning

the version: braid sections of your hair

create s-waves: instead of holding your curling iron vertically

work a second-day wave: mist hair

sub your curling iron

finish a blowout by using a round metal brush to create a bend at the ends

try retro ‘20s finger waves. prep hair
