1 School-girl braids
This timeless style is youthful and a great hair hack for all seasons. Create two easy low braids behind your head then accessorise with a headband wrap. For a more grown-up look, loosen the braids by tugging them outward after securing them - H&M A/W ’17 

2 The top knot
This updo can be worn for both casual or formal occasions and is so easy to create. Simply gather hair into a high ponytail at the crown, wrap it around the base then secure with pins. The secret to making this look work is to find the perfect spot for the bun that works for you. Most people like it to sit high and as close to the crown as possible - Tian Jing 

3 The beachy wave
This ultra feminine hairstyle is perfect for the beach or pool. It’s a snap to achieve: spritz lots of sea salt spray and scrunch hair as you blow-dry. Play around with your parting until you hit the sweet spot and get the look that’s most flattering for you - Behati Prinsloo
