Step 2: Brush hair back into a tight pony tail at the middle of your head. This look creates sleek classic appeal that is great for a busy day of errands or a workday at the office.
Step 3: You can add a sweet ribbon to your hair for some pretty interest.
#4: Tousled Waves

Step 1: Start with second-day hair and braid into a french braid before the gym.
Step 2: When done with your workout, take out the braid and blow dry upside down to get rid of any sweat that may create moisture.
Step 3: Once hair feels dry and braid waves have been mussed, flip head back over and spray all over with dry shampoo.
Step 4: Dust roots with loose hair powder to create lift and grit. Spray all of hair lightly with light hold hairspray. Add a flirty headband if you want.
