Easy everyday hairstyles

Choose the shape before the accessory

For loose hair, compare the two finishes below: defined shoulder-length curls or broad bends through long layers. If you want the front sections gathered while keeping the length visible, start with the half-up clip. For gathered lengths, compare a low ponytail with a low bun at the nape.

A clip needs enough jaw space for the section it will hold. A tie gathers the ponytail; pins can support a bun. Choose the fastening for the amount of hair gathered, rather than buying every accessory shown across the collection. A half-up section and a full twist can need different clip sizes.

Keep natural texture in the decision. The curl photograph shows a finish to compare, not a promise that cream will create that curl pattern. Likewise, the blowout photograph does not establish which tool, temperature or technique produced it. Follow the directions for the actual device and product you choose.

Use these five examples to narrow your choice, or browse the larger everyday hairstyle collection for braids, twists, buns and accessory placements.

Make the choice work with your routine

Start with the hair you have today. Note its length, texture and whether the shorter layers reach your chosen fastening. A photograph with longer hair may be a useful mood reference without being a useful fastening reference.

Check the back as well as the front. Use a mirror to check the placement and loose ends. If the accessory pulls or slips, change the amount gathered or the fastening rather than repeatedly tightening it.

Buy for the missing job. For a ponytail, a suitable tie may be all that is needed. For a bun, consider whether you need pins. A cream, clip and heated tool are not a standard shopping list for every hairstyle.

For product roles beyond the finish, read the wash-day guide. For a different shape that requires a salon visit, use the haircut collection and its salon briefs.
