Flirtatious Fishtail- Deeply part your hair on one side.  Starting on the opposite side of your part and about an inch and a half from your hair line, begin fishtail braiding your hair down and behind your ear until your reach the end of the braid using all of your hair.  You fishtail braid by taking small sections of one side and adding them to the other side, adding a piece from the opposite side then you started with crossing over strands in the middle and adding to its opposite section of hair.  Secure the end with a leather band or a small elastic band and some ribbon.  Pull small wispy looking pieces from out of the bottom half or the braid to create a flirtatious look.  Spray with setting spray if you wish.

Tiny Braided Top Knot- Separate a two inch section of hair in the front of your head.  Pull the rest of your dried hair into a high ponytail and secure with a small elastic hair band.  Coil the ponytail around the base of itself to create a top knot.  Pin it in place with bobby pins.  Braid the two inch section of hair you left out and lay it around the side of your head and up to your top knot in back.  Coil remaining part of braid around top knot and secure with a bobby pin.  Spay with setting spray.

60’s Loose- If you are wearing your hair long and straight start by tying one band around your forehead and securing under the hair.  Add two or three more on top of the hair starting at your hair line working your way up to the crown of your head.  Secure them in place with small bobby pins.  If you are wearing your hair long and curly skip the head band around your forehead and layer three to five headbands from your hairline to your crown.  Secure these behind your ears with bobby pins.  Volumized curls are the best for this.

30’s Sparkle- This hairstyle works with both long and short hair lengths.  Cut a deep side part about two inches wide and run a flat iron over it.  Spray with setting spray.  Secure this section of hair to your head with about ten to fifteen sparkly embellished bobby pins ranging from small to large in size.  Start the pins about two inches from your part line.
