Great Hair Every Day: 4 Easy, Day-to-Night Hairstyles

Laid-Back Weekend Style

An easy, breezy twist-back keeps Saturdays and Sundays fuss-free. The look is versatile enough to wear to everything from the dog run to a dinner date.

Style Secrets

Go natural. Start with second-day hair, which has more hold. Or use a texturizing cream, like Aveda Light Elements Texturizing Creme ($24, aveda.com), for grip, says Kimberly Morgan of Bob Steele Salon in Atlanta.

Do the twist. Take a two-inch section from one side of your part, twirl it back and secure it with a bobby pin. Repeat on the other side, crossing the pins into an X.

Smooth it out. Apply shine serum, like L'Oreal Paris EverPure Smooth Frizz-Free Serum ($8.99, drugstores), to tame flyaways and add sheen.
