Vintage Glamour I'll be the first to admit I have a trigger finger when it comes to pinning any hairstyle that involves a pretty hair accessory. But aside from the sparkle factor, this slightly rumpled, lived-in hairstyle is the perfect mix of vintage glamour and the not-so-perfect look anyone can achieve.

1. Start by applying a texturizing product like Garnier Fructis De-Constructed Texture Tease to "create a slight wave with a bit of roughness," says Gonzalez.

2. Next, create a slightly off-center side part.

3. Use your fingers to push hair completely over to one side and make a low side ponytail at the nape of your neck, keeping out bangs or shorter front layers. For more dimension, you could also loosely French braid the hair over to the side as well, says Gonzalez.

4. Stick one finger right above your hair elastic to loosen up the top of your ponytail. Pull the end of your ponytail up, sticking it through the opening you've created and pull it through. (Otherwise known as a topsy tail if you're fancy.) But get messy! "It almost looks like the hair is tied in a big loose knot," says Gonzalez.

5. Use decorative hair pins (pictured is Jennifer Behr Silver Feather Swarovski Crystal Hairclip) to pin bangs loosely back.

6. Finish with flexible hold hairspray like Living Proof Style Lab Flex Shaping Hairspray. If your style ends up looking messier than intended, just embrace it. Tell everyone,"It's vintage, darling."
