Scenario: You love trying out new hairstyles. You spend hours watching YouTube tutorials trying to achieve those gorgeous looks they make look so incredibly easy. Your challenge? You're challenged ... hairstyle challenged. You tried the milkmaid updo and now your hairstyle looks like a frumpy fail. Here's how to polish your look in just a few steps.

1. Rub a smoothing lotion onto the palms of your hands and run your fingers throughout your hair. Make sure to pay close attention to the ends of your hair as you go.
2. Divide your hair from ear to ear to create two sections at the front and back of your hair. Clip the bottom section to hold, then gather the top section into a bun. Secure with an elastic.
3. Unclip the bottom portion and divide it vertically into two sections. Then, twist each section down through to the ends.
4. Wrap the twisted pieces around the base of your bun. Make sure the twist on the left starts to wrap around the right side of your bun and vice versa.
5. Secure your twists with bobby pins and finish with a light mist of hairspray.

Scenario: You tried a new Yoga class during your lunch break (congrats!) and it turned out to be more sweat-inducing than calming. So you throw your hair up in a nest post class. How do you turn your workout hair into something office appropriate?

1. Apply a curl-enhancing serum to your hair to tame frizz and smooth it out.
2. Section off the top portion of your hair. This shouldn't extend past the outer corner of your eyes and should reach the top of your crown. Clip that section off to the side.
3. Take the rest of your hair and pull it into a ponytail at the back of your crown. Use a soft brush to smooth flyaways and tug on the ends to tighten it as needed.
4. Unclip the top portion and tease it gently to create volume. Then gather that section back toward your ponytail, wrapping the ends around the base of the elastic. Secure with bobby pins.
5. Finish by misting with hairspray.

Scenario: You washed your hair last night and let it air dry, assuming you'd wake up early to give yourself some extra styling time. Except you completely missed your alarm and now your hair is a tangled, flat mess. Here's how to tame your texture -- fast.
