The french twist is definitely not yet retired, and recreating the look is much easier than you’d think. For starters, gather hair up into your hands as if you were going to make a mid-height ponytail. Next, start rolling the hair from the right side while simultaneously tucking it into itself from the left side. When you’re done, use bobby pins to secure, and prepare to turn some heads at the dance.

If you’re like us and crazy for braids, then you’ll love this gorgeous braided cluster. Start by making two one-inch braids on each side of your head, wrap them around each other, then continue making braids on each side of the head and overlapping them on the back of the head, securing with bobby pins. Pull apart at the braids and make them as messy as you please. It may look complicated, but if you can braid and pin to your head, you’re good to go!
For a great last-minute updo if you’re scrambling to figure out just what to do with your locks, put on a cute headband (like the crocheted one above), and tuck hair up and into the headband in one-inch sections at a time, keeping it nice and loose.
A top knot is a great way to get gorgeous with minimal effort. Gather hair up into a high ponytail, secure with a hair tie, and twist the ponytail around into a tight twist. Pin in place, then pull out a few pieces of fringe for a no-frills kind of look.
