1. Start with sleek, straightened strands (clean or second-day), and put hair into a ponytail in the middle of your head.
2. Wrap the sock ring around your ponytail at the elastic. Secure with bobby pins. Take your ponytail and separate into two sections -- one at the bottom, the other at the top.
3. Taking the top section of the ponytail, wrap hair around the top of the sock, covering it with hair and lightly pulling hair down around the sides. Secure the hair at the base of the sock with bobby pins. Repeat the same step for the bottom section of hair.
4. By now, you should look like an obnoxious flower from the back of your head with a covered bun and strands of hair falling around the sides. To transform into a neat bun: Take three strands of hair from the top flyaways, and begin to French braid -- grabbing strands from the falling hair around the bun. Braid until you reach the bottom of the bun.
5. Tuck the tail of the braid up and under the bun. Secure with a bobby pin and some flexible hold hairspray.

For me, clip up the back, pick it out a little, and go!

Good ideas. I agree with the previous comment about the rest of us with curly and frizzy hair.

Great .. for beautiful young things w/long, gorgeous hair. Now, how about for the rest of us? What about our mid-length, frizzy manes left over from Spring?

I actually like the last look the best. My hair would be perfect for this style. I think I'll try it!

I have very straight hair that now is a bit shorter than I would like. The summer means up away from my neck as I have to walk everywhere and that means heat and sticking to me. I have to say, that I have not heard of a salt spray or was it sea. I can say, the sea water does wonders for my skin and hair. I do have a root volumizing spray and will try it this year. I found that when I once got a perm, the hair may have been easier to be off the face. Just don't like the process of chemicals on my hair. The braiding of the hair also will work if your hair is long, it adds body and was a good look if you have time.

I wear this look but I get it with "hot sticks" and shaping spray. I use a freeze it to hold .Lighter if I want it to blow in the breeze.

looks are cute, but in the summer heat, i feel like they all won't hold up. i like the pinned back bangs and the tousled/beachy looks best.
