Top knot

Step 1: Pull hair back into a high ponytail and secure with band at crown.

Step 2: Twist hair around base, creating a smooth tight bun and tuck ends underneath. Use bobby pins if needed.

Cute styles, but not very creative.

I'd love to try the faux bob!

nice hairstyles

These are some pretty nice hair styles.

The French braid is nice, but too time consuming for me to do and my hair does resist, the side chignon too. If only I had a perm which hold it better.

These are very pretty and the how-to seems fairly simple.

I love these styles, but my hair is so frizz prone that I don't think they would work very well.

by WiccanLady Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 10:43AM Report as inappropriate

I like the top knot. It is very easy and elegant anyone can pull that look off!

The end of the last braid one was a little confusing but otherwise great article

All nice

the braid one is kinda confusing to follow but other than that some pretty good ideas

by treehugger1997 Thursday, December 27, 2012 at 09:25AM Report as inappropriate

The chignon and ponytail with the french braid were pretty, I need to try those one of these days.

by Chantilly Sunday, December 23, 2012 at 12:16PM Report as inappropriate

Most of these hairstyles were very pretty.

by NillaButterfly Saturday, December 22, 2012 at 02:36PM Report as inappropriate

depressingly enough, my hair is stick straight and i hate my forehead. so i guess most of these are out!

that side chignon is gorgeous

by LittleBunny Friday, December 21, 2012 at 10:58AM Report as inappropriate

I like these, but it's nothing new.

by cheerio9551 Wednesday, December 19, 2012 at 08:11PM Report as inappropriate

Some of these look like they would take a lot longer than 5 minutes.

by Chris213 Wednesday, December 19, 2012 at 07:53PM Report as inappropriate
