Tease the crown.

Add a light hold hairspray.

Loop the hair in and out of the hair-tie for this anti-updo look.

Keep it textured and try not to smooth the top and sides too much!

Pair this with some long earrings and BOOM! Looking chic.

This one may look tricky, but we promise it isn't! Believe it or not, this is medium length hair!

Start by teasing the crown.

Loosely pull small pieces on each side, securing each with a bobby pin and overlapping as you go side to side.

Once you are to your nape, place a bobby pin on sections of the ends sticking out. Smaller sections are best!

Place the bobby pins about 1" above the very end of your hair. Then start pushing those into your already pinned pieces!

If you have pieces falling out, LEAVE THEM! A little whispies here and there are what makes the look soft & romantic!

Tease the crown.

Pull one side to the back, give a slight twist and secure with a bobby pin.

Pull the other side back, slightly twisting, overlapping the previous side and secure with another bobby pin.

Add your choice of hairspray for hold and viola!

When all else fails, why not rock the model-off-duty look with loose, barely-there waves?

Since most people's hair doesn't dry naturally like this (and we envy you if it does), here is our quick how-to video!

Rock this wavy pony by adding some loose waves (see above) and just pulling up into a simple high pony!
