You can never go wrong with a ponytail right? We love this hairstyle because it is simplicity and elegance combined — and you can never go wrong with that. To create this look, part your hair slightly and leave a small portion of hair in the front to frame your face and tie down the rest of your hair with a ribbon or elastic.

To give your hair a smooth finish, apply the Toni&Guy Finishing Shine Spray once you’re done styling your hair to complete your look.

Bobs are the perfect graduation hairstyles for ladies that have oval faces and want something short. Bobs are said to give a natural instant facelift as they give your face more structure; cheekbones are emphasised and the jawline looks firmer.
