Swept-Back Chignon

• The chignon is a sophisticated style that is ideal for a big night out or even a board meeting. This style is best-suited for shoulder length or longer hair. Wash your hair and blow dry completely. Then use your fingers to comb a dime-sized amount of styling cream through your hair so that it is evenly distributed. Now part your hair to the side and use a bobby pin the same color as your hair to pin the front sections on each side back. Twist your hair into a low bun and carefully pin the hair in place with bobby pins so that no hair wisps can escape from the bun. Finish this style with hairspray for maximum hold.
  
  

Sleek French-Braided Style

• This elegant style is achievable for any hair length. First wash your hair with a volume-enhancing shampoo and conditioner and blow dry completely. Spray a heat protectant on your hair and comb it through. Use a ceramic flat iron to ensure sleekness. Next you will part your hair to the side and make a French braid along one side (doesn't matter which). To French braid, take three sections of the hair and make one braid. Next grab another section that is closest to one of your three sections and add that section as part of your three and begin another braid. Continue this way until your french braid is as far as you want it.The French braid must reach at least as far back as your ear. Pin the braid in place to secure it. Take a fine-toothed comb and backcomb the crown of your hair to add extra volume. Finish the style with a shine spray.
  
  

Textured Ponytail with Bangs

• The style is best-suited for long or medium-length hair. Take hair that hasn't been washed in 24 hours and apply a texturizing spray to the roots. Next finger-comb your hair to distribute the product evenly. Pull out your front bangs. Part your hair to the side and pull out the front strands to frame your face, if you don't have bangs. Gather the rest of your hair into a low ponytail and secure with an elastic band. Rake fingers through the root of your hair to give it volume and texture. Finish the look with hairspray.
