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

Effortless Day-to-Night Style

The secret of going effortlessly from the gym to a girls' night out is to use your a.m. style as the starting point for your p.m. look: a sexy, low side bun.

Style Secrets

Pony up. During the day, wear your hair in a low, sleek side ponytail. The more relaxed, the better.

Braid to last. When you're ready to go out, braid the pony and secure the end with an elastic. Then, starting at the top of the braid, use your thumbs to push your hair apart. "This gives it a softer texture," Morgan says.

Transform tresses. Wrap the braid around the base of the ponytail and pin it into a bun. Spray all over with a flexible-hold hair spray. A good one: Pantene Fine Hair Touchable Volume Hairspray ($3.99, drugstores).
