The Messy Mini Bun
Separate your hair into an upper section and a lower section. Twist the upper section into a donut-shaped bun. Use bobby pins or an elastic band to secure the bun in place. Pull a few wispy strands out for a tousled finish. This is a great casual look for the weekend.

The Romantic Twist
For this look, divide the hair along your crown into halves. Split each of those halves into three smaller sections. Twist each section, using bobby pins to secure the twists to your head. Braid the six sections together starting at the center of the back of your head. Add some loose curls to the remaining hair with a 2-inch barreled curling iron. When you're going to an outdoor wedding, half down hairstyles lend a touch of elegance to your look.

Feeling Knotty
A small Celtic knot in your hair is perfect for a first date. To do this, collect about one-quarter of your hair from the upper left side. Wrap it around two fingers until you get to the ends. Form a loop. Grab a section of hair from the right side and repeat the wrapping, pulling it through the first loop. Repeat this twice more and secure with bobby pins.

Slippery Slope
Down hairstyles with a simple slipknot create a relaxed look that is great for a stroll or dinner at a casual restaurant. Gather half of the hair form your left side and loosely twist it. Do the same with the right side. At the center of the back of your head, twist the two twists together. Secure with an elastic band. Finish with a light spritz of hairspray to prevent flyaway strands.

Bow Tie
Down hairstyles with a bow are ideal for any semi-formal event during the summertime, such as a baby shower, birthday party or a weekend dinner date. To get this look, take a small section of hair from each side of your head. Pull the sections through an elastic band, but leave the hair in a loop through the band. The ends should be tucked under the band. Split the loop in half. Spread out one side to create half of a bow shape. Pin in place. Repeat with the other side. Wrap the ponytail's hair ends around the center to complete the bow.
