Thinking I would make my life easier by keeping my hair damp before dinner, I threw this number together. Remember, I don’t love having my face this exposed (or my ears) but I thought it was survivable. The look on my husband’s face on the other hand, said it was definitely not (he’s freakishly opposed to headbands for some reason — I blame Richard Simmons). Oh well — I kept it and since it only took a few minutes to do, I plan on doing it again. So there!

Get the Look:



Gently towel-dry your hair. Split your hair in half from ear to ear and twist your hair down to the tips, pushing a small bit of height at the roots. Secure the twist with bobby pins. Now pull all your hair into a low ponytail and allow to dry naturally. Slide a headband on so your roots are tight to your head, pushing the poof a bit higher.
