So you’re meeting your crush for coffee after school, and you’re in need of a speedy and cute hair fix, stat? You wanna change up your everyday wash-n-go school style, but we know how tricky it can be to make your mane look awesome in a jiffy, especially with limited supplies. Follow our cheat sheet, below!

If right now your hair is: Half-up
Craft a quick: Low bun
 

Keeping your hair half-up, pull the bottom part of your hair and twist it into a low bun at the nape of your neck. Secure with an elastic or two and a few bobby pins you found at the bottom of your purse. Pull out a few pieces around your temples, like Blake, for a sweetly undone style.
 
If right now your hair is: Straight down
Craft a quick: High pony
 

 

Pull off Lea's sleek look by gathering all your hair back into a high pony just at the crown of your head. Extra credit: loop a 1-inch thick piece of hair around the elastic and tuck in the end. 

 

If right now your hair is: In loose waves
Craft a quick: Messy side braid
 
 
Whip up a soft and messy braid, like Crystal Reed's. Create a side part and start braiding hair just below the ear on one side, being sure to keep the weave loose. Let a few pieces fall out for natural texture.  
 
If right now your hair is: In a headband
Craft a quick: Topknot
 

Taking a hint from Hailee, push your headband a smidge closer to your forehead and pile your hair into a cute topknot on top of your head. Secure with an elastic and any bobby pins you can find.

 

If your hair right now is: In sweet spirals
Craft a quick: Side pony

 

 

 

We heart what Bella did here. Gather your tresses into a low side pony a couple inches below your earlobe. Let a few curls come loose for a relaxed, romantic effect. Pretty!

So my hair is super straight and long and thin. I don't have bangs or anything because I don't know what kind of haircut to get. I really like wavy hair, which I could never have naturally, and I like side bangs, too. Also, do you think I should get layers and side bangs?

Hey girl,

It's hard to give hair advice without seeing your hair, but do whatever makes you happy! You can also ask a stylist for advice before they start snippin' -- they'll be happy to offer professional feedback on what types of bangs will work for your face and hair!

Im sick of the hairstyles i do now. My hair is medium length like 1-2 inches below my shoulders and its really thin. Oh, and its naturally straight so it doesnt curl well. Dear GL, can you make some sort of article that helps me with my situation? Like "Hairstyles for girls with thin hair" or something? Please?
