25 new 'dos to rock for the school year: Pt. 3

The final part of our hair how-to series is here at last! Try out these 9 twists, braids and coifs that are just as sweet as the first and second installments.

17. 2-second twist

How-to: Part hair as normal. Pull back a small 1-inch section of hair at the front of your forehead, above the temple. Twist the section and pin back with two crisscrossed bobby pins.

18. Twist and braid


How-to: Part hair in the center. Twist back a 1-inch section of hair on either side and pin in place. Braid the end of each twisted section and secure with a hair elastic, so you have one face-framing bitty braids on each side. Pretty!


19. Sneaky side part
 

How-to: Our October/November cover girl looks super glam in a sleek side part. Keep the hair out of your face by pinning it behind your ear, just like Victoria. Spray a bit of hairspray on your palm and smooth over the pinned section to take care of any flyaways.


20. Tie a knot
 
How-to: You’ll have to have long locks to pull this off, but the effect is quite cool. Spritz in some texturizing spray to give hair some grip. Pull hair into a low side pony, but don’t secure with an elastic. Twist lightly and create a loop to pull the ends through as if you were tying a knot. Pull tight and add bobby pins for extra support.

21. Dianna’s side-swept bangs
 
How-to: Got bangs? If you normally wear them straight across your forehead, try brushing them over to one side in conjunction with a side part like Dianna. Spritz flexible hold hairspray into your palm and smooth over bangs to keep them in place. Gels or wax can make bangs look heavy (read: greasy).

22. Pink streak
 
How-to: The night before school, use a clean mascara wand to paint a section of hair (try one underneath that’ll peek out) with pink hair dye, following dye instructions. So fun!

23. Loose pigtails
 
How-to: Try a casual take on the sweet classic. Part hair in the center, then loosely divide into two equal sections. Tie each section into a low ponytail using a piece of leather cord or a ribbon.


24. Crimp it
 
How-to: Use a mini-crimping iron to crimp small sections of hair all over your head, both top and bottom layers. Loosen up hair all over with fingers to get a shaken out rocker-chic effect.

25. Loose, low chignon


How-to: We love Lucy’s low twist for lazy school mornings. Simply part hair on the side, pull back into a low messy bun at the nape of your neck, and pin to keep it in place. Skip the hairspray and let a few pieces fall loose.
