Got a date with a cute guy from office? Or a ladies’ night to conquer? Well, here’s your chance to stir things up by trying something different with your hair for a change. We give you some easy-to-follow tips on nailing these simple hairstyles that suit a variety of hair textures and are occasion-friendly. And the best part? They take only 10 minutes! Let’s get started…

Easy Hairstyle 1. A Donut Bun

An elegant variation of a simple bun, this simple hairstyle is great for dinner parties or social functions. This look works well on most textures of hair, and is also great for showing off those cheekbones. You will need to buy a hair doughnut for this look – don’t worry they are easily available and not expensive.

  • Brush thoroughly to detangle your locks.

  • Tie a high ponytail and secure with an elastic band. Then slide the doughnut down to the base of your ponytail.

  • Look down, and spread all your hair around the doughnut so you cover it up and have a small hole left in the centre (just like a doughnut). Screen Shot 2015-01-21 at 4.10.39 pm

  • Secure this shape by tying an elastic band around the base of the doughnut you just formed. Wind the rest of the hair (the length left free beyond the elastic) around the doughnut at the base and secure with bobby pins. If your hair tends to look a bit messy or dry, spritz some Schwarzkopf Osis+Sparkler Shine Spray.

  • Begin by gathering your hair into a ponytail at the nape of your neck and securing it with a rubber band.

  • Now use your thumb and index finger or the tail of a comb to poke a hole in your hair just above the elastic band of your ponytail.

  • Now take your ponytail and loop it downward through the opening, creating a V.

  • Don’t brush your hair; this look is perfect for a messy just-out-of-the-bed head. If you would like to add even more texture, use a spray like Toni & Guy Sea Salt Texturising Spray.

  • Take a section of hair above your ear on one side, and begin braiding it backwards across your head till you reach the the other side.

  • Gather up all your hair behind your ear on the other side and wind it around into a super messy bun. Secure it in place with bobby pins.
