You Will Need

• Medium to long hair
• A brush or comb
• Styling gel or mousse
• A ponytail holder
• Bobby pins
• Hairspray

• 

  Step 1.

  Do the supermodel poof

  Why fool around? Unless you’ve got short bangs, go straight to the supermodel poof. Gather a one- to two-inch section of hair from the forehead, brush it back, lift, twist, and push the resulting poof forward. Tease a bit from the back for extra height, and secure with bobby pins. A spritz of hairspray will help keep your look sleek.

• 

  Step 2.

  Create a half updo

  Pull a section of hair from the forehead straight back and criss-cross two bobby pins to hold it in place at the back of the head. Then take a section of hair on the right and left sides of the head, cross them over the bobby pins, and pin them to the crisscross with upward-facing pins.

• Bored of your bangs? Comb them back, secure with bobby pins, and cover them with a wide headband.

• 

  Step 3.

  Make an edgy, messy bun

  Apply styling gel or mousse to damp hair, pull into a high ponytail, and divide and twist into three sections. Bring each section back to the ponytail base, and secure with a bobby pin. Loose hairs? That’s part of the style!

• The term “bobby pin” was coined in the 1920s in reference to “bobbed” haircuts then popular with the flapper set.
