Polished Garden Braid
If you fancy more intricate hairstyles, go crazy over this gorgeous, (seemingly) complicated garden braid. With so many twists and turns, you might think this hairstyle will take ages to create when in reality it's just an expertly pancaked (pulled-apart) braid.

To Get the Look: After braiding your hair, gently pull at a few strands from each weave to create the whimsical look that makes this hairstyle. Just be sure to not pull too hard -- you don't want to risk unraveling your masterpiece.

Polished Crown With Reverse Fishtail Braided Pony
If you love a good fishtail, get excited because there's a new aquatic-named hairstyle strutting down the runway. This gorgeous, inverted braid grabs hair from the inside of each section, as opposed to the outside with traditional fishtail braids, and wraps them around their respective side before being crossed over to the other section of the ponytail. Sounds complicated, looks complicated, but it's actually supereasy -- give it a try!

To Get the Look: Fishtail braids can be especially tricky to piece apart. That said, when it comes to fluffing up your braid, be sure to loosen each section every few stitches to amp up your look without causing excess tension by waiting until the end.

Glossy Crown with Beehive Ballerina Bun
Equal parts polished and roughed-up, this gorgeous high bun is the perfect accessory to any boss babe outfit. Wear it with pumps and a pencil skirt to the office, or sneaks and spandex to barre, either way you're sure to look and feel like the boss babe you are.

To Get the Look: To reduce the amount of teasing necessary to create your textured bun, start off by spraying your high ponytail with the Amika Undone Texture Spray, $24. Designed to deliver a perfectly tousled, undone, matte texture, this product will be the key in creating your ultra-fluffy beehive ballerina bun.

Long Glossy Waves
If you love the look of polished, glossy locks but aren't too keen on straightening your wavy hair -- don't! Instead, boost your natural texture with a high-shine serum to reflect light in all the right places.

To Get the Look: Transform your natural waves into Old Hollywood gorgeousness by massaging a few drops of the A Beautiful Life Unicorn Mane Smoothing Serum, $16, from roots to ends. After evenly distributing (and falling in love with) the lightweight, non-greasy elixir, use a wide-tooth comb to loosen your waves for a voluminous end look.

Sleek Strands With Bobby Pin Accents
Love a shiny, slicked-back 'do but want to take it to the next level? Take notes from this year's SS18 runways and pop a few bobby pins in place for a high-fashion finish to an otherwise understated look.

To Get the Look: To really make this hairstyle pop, you'll want to make sure your tresses shine to their full potential. Instead of piling on a handful of products, simply pump a few drops of the Davines Oi Oil, $23, from hairline to ends for a sleek, frizz-free look.
