Help! I’m going on a date next week, and I need something different to do with my hair! I don’t want to wear it down OR in a ponytail!

For a fresh-picked summer ‘do, we heart flower pins tucked just behind your ear.

Use a comb to make a side part. Sweep hair into a low pony and twist into a bun. Secure with an elastic. Spritz with hairspray. Clip on flower pin and you’re done! Here’s a couple we love:
