Much like the hidden plaits seen at S/S 19 Dion Lee, we love this super-skinny braid peeking out from an otherwise simple ponytail.

This gorgeous hairstyle looks super impressive but is so easy to re-create. All you need is a scarf—that's it!

This hairstyle takes your look from everyday to evening-ready in seconds. Brush your hair back behind your ear so it's smooth and sleek before adding in hair slides in a crisscross shape.

Not a fan of the crisscross pins but like the general idea? Ditch the bobby pins for a single standout slide. It has the same effect—only there's less effort involved.

This impressive ponytail takes your everyday look from 0 to 100. Pull your hair back into a ponytail and start to twist it as if you're putting hair into a bun. Once you've created one loop, knot the rest of the hair through the bun and secure it, leaving the rest of the ponytail long and loose. Finish with a hair slide for extra cool points.

Thick, curly hair can be hard to manage at the best of times, but this easy hair hack can tame wayward coils whilst making them look even more gorgeous. Pull half of your hair up, and then leave the bottom section down.

Okay, so this is the easiest hair update ever.

The same technique as the ribbon bow but with a slightly more standout look. Simply wrap and tie a bandana or silk scarf around your ponytail and leave the rest loose.

The same technique as above but with an oversized bow finish. We're stocking up on bandanas and scarfs ASAP.

Fishtail braids look impressive but are actually easier to do than most. Follow our simple instructions on how to do a fishtail plait.

Mastered the fishtail plait? Step it up a notch with these braided bunches. Leave the front section of your hair down for the most flattering effect.

Give your hair a sporty style with this bubble ponytail. It's so easy to do on yourself. Essentially, all you do is secure extra hairbands down the length of your ponytail. For a slick look like this, use a serum to tame flyaways or pull out hair from each section for a Kendall Jenner-esque look.

You might've seen that headbands are back in business, but we also love this look created using a headscarf. It's also the perfect way to disguise greasy roots. Win-win.

There's nothing chicer than a loosely tied black velvet ribbon. Whether your hair is curly or super straight, this style suits anyone and takes seconds to create. For extra hold, secure hair first with a clear elastic band before wrapping your ribbon around.

Remember the "hun" (half bun)? It's still a thing, and it's never looked chicer than this curly style created by hair queen Kristin Ess.
