You only need some hair spray, a fine-tooth comb, and hair clips or bobby pins to achieve this daring transformation. Using the tip of the fine-tooth comb, create a distinctive zig-zag part in your hair, tracing a captivating pattern along your hairline. Then, with the help of a beloved spray like Suave Extreme Hold Unscented Aerosol Hairspray, sleek your hair back into two stylish side pigtails. The next step offers various creative possibilities. You can opt for two chic messy buns secured with claw clips or a hair tie. Alternatively, bobby pins can be strategically used for more precise and edgy hair placement.

This simple hairstyle allows for endless accessorizing! You’ll only need three hair ties and a charming ribbon.

9. Double Top Knots
Achieving this stunning look is made easy with the help of a strong-hold hair gel. Our top recommendation is for its remarkable ability to provide a shiny, glossy finish. Begin by sectioning your hair into two parts, ensuring to leave out fine strands at the front and back of your head before applying the gel. Keeping these strands dry as you work with the gel is essential. Proceed to create two stylish high buns, securing them with clear elastic bands. For the remaining hair strands, use a curling wand to create tight curls that add a touch of elegance. To ensure a long-lasting hold, finish off with a spritz of hairspray. Our current favorite is TRESemmé Ultra Fine Hair Spray, a fantastic alternative for those who prefer not to use hair gel.
10. Barbiecore Double Pony
Dazzle with the ultimate festival look, bursting with vibrant energy! When it comes to hair extensions, the possibilities are endless in price and color, allowing you to customize this look to your heart’s desire.
