How to wear your hair to the office

Many working women have early office hours. I know if you’re like me I hate getting up early in the morning, getting ready and fixing my hair. Every professional, modern women needs to know a few hair tricks that can give u those extra couple minutes of rest in the morning.

Bun

First, tease your hair by taking a section at the back of the crown. Lift the section, take a while still holding the hair and brush down with a comb.  After you have done this several times spray the hair underneath. Now take a brush and smooth out the top of the hair. Next, pull the hair back in a ponytail. Twist the ponytail. Wrap the twisted ponytail

around the hair band and secure with bobby pins. If you have longer hair you can take a sock, cut the toe out, roll it up, place it around your hair and pin hair around it.

French twist

First, pull your hair back in a loose ponytail. Next twist the ponytail like you did with the bun. Hold your ponytail upright pointing to the sky, as you are doing this tuck the end of the ponytail between your head and the beginning part of your ponytail. Now, slowly roll your wadded-up ponytail to the left. Use your hand to push the hair beneath in while rolling the hair on top. You will feel it tighten. Use straight bobby pins to secure the twist.

Topsy ponytail twist

Pull your hair back in a loose ponytail. Now, separate the hair above your hair band with your fingers creating a hole. Take the end of your ponytail and stick it through the top of the hole and underneath. Repeat this until there is no more hair hanging. Take any loose hairs and stick them in the twist. Secure with bobby pins. (For a wispy look scrunch or curl hair before you begin. Leave small loose curls hanging out of the twist)

Messy Bun

Pull your hair back in a ponytail. Take small pieces of hair and start to stick them back in the hair band, pulling them through just enough to have a loop left. Keep repeating this step until all hair is back through. Use bobby pins to secure strands to scalp and hide hair band. Let your hair do its own thing. This is a messy bun.

Classic Ponytail

Pull your hair back in a normal ponytail. Take a piece of hair wide enough to cover

your hair band. Now, wrap that piece of hair around your hair band as many times as it

will go and secure with bobby pin underneath
