Pineapples may be a great casual-do, but can definitely hold their own as a head-turning evening style too. Readjust where you’d like your curls to fall (positioning your curls to create a fringe is a great way to add interest to the look) and you’ll be ready for that catch-up session with the girls.

Sophisticated glam is what comes to mind when hearing ballerina bun, but we say they can be dressed down too. By creating a looser, wispier chignon you can give yourself a stunning style to take you from day to night.

Finish off your bun by giving it a gorgeous, lustrous shine and long-lasting smoothness with the TONI&GUY Finishing Shine Spray.
