1. For the Athletic Prepster: The Bubble Pony
The bubble pony is sophisticated and on trend, but still light and fun enough to run around in – totally ideal for the athletic prepster personality! The bubbles will command anyone’s attention and are a great twist on the classic ponytail. Plus, this look is totally functional for keeping your hair out of your face (an athletic must!).
Directions:
1. Prep your locks with TRESemmé Thermal Creations Mousse then rough dry.
2. Tie your hair into a loose ponytail that sits at the nape of the neck.
3. Section the ponytail into multiple two- to three-inch portions with elastics, leaving two inches of the end loose.
4. To get those uber-chic bubbles, lightly pull the outside of each section.
5. Give it some gloss with TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Illuminating Shine Spray and amp up the volume by running your fingers through the hair on the top of your head.
Complete your look: Wear a mini corduroy skirt with a simple tee and top it of with a patterned bomber jacket. Looking for something more comfortable for study days? Try a pair of chic joggers with a flowing button-up for the ultimate cross between athletic and polished!
2. For the Elegant Go-Getter – the Polished Knot
This hairstyle knows what it wants and doesn’t waste time achieving it, just like you. With every twist meticulously pulled to perfection, this look aims high and delivers. It’s sophisticated and sleek, offering only the classiest style! Rock the look yourself to show off the very best of your personality!
Directions:
1. Apply TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Foaming Mouse on wet hair and use a medium round brush while blow-drying to add volume to your roots.
2. Brush hair into a tight, low side ponytail on either your left or right side, then start tightly twisting the tail.
3. When you’ve twisted it all the way to the end, wrap it up toward your head, using bobby pins to anchor it along the way.
4. Tuck ends under the twist and fasten with bobby pins.
5. Tame unruly strands with a spritz of TRESemmé TRES Two Extra Hold Hair Spray . Then, give your knot a glossy finish with a mist of the brand’s Keratin Smooth Illuminating Shine Spray

Complete your look: Put on pair of cropped trouser pants, a flowing blouse and a statement necklace that will pop. If it’s extra chilly outside (hello, winter, we aren’t excited to see you), throw on a wool cardigan!
3. For the DIY Rebel: the Undercut Braid
This edgier look isn’t afraid to stand out from the crowd, and neither are you! In fact, it welcomes anything that’s unconventional and challenges tradition. It takes old-school, classic braids and elevates them to a whole new level! Plus, the foil detail is the ultimate way to experiment with a new embellishment. Prepare to turn heads and capture the attention you deserve!
Directions:
1. Apply TRESemmé Thermal Creations Mousse on damp hair and rough dry.
2. Wrap hair loosely around the barrel of a one-inch curling iron, leaving ends out. Alternate the direction you wrap the hair around the iron to create an irregular wave.
3. Create a deep part and separate the smaller section into two to three parts.
4. Starting with the section closest to the ear, Dutch-braid (inside-out or reverse French braid) from the temple, down to the nape of the neck.
5. Repeat the Dutch braid on the one to two remaining sections.
6. Next, gather the braids at the nape of the neck and secure with bobby pins.
7. Lightly mist hair with TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Illuminating Shine Spray for an extra boost of shine.
D.I.Y Hair Accent Tip:
8. Apply TRESemmé TRES Mega Firm Control Gel to one of the braids and lightly blow-dry until gel is tacky.
9. Gently apply a metallic foil (found at most craft stores) to the braid and sue blush brush to rub 3. and adhere the foil onto the braid.
10. Peel plastic backing off the braid. Continue applying metallic foil as needed for desired effect, using TRESemmé TRES Two Extra Hold Hair Spray for additional tack.
Complete your look: For everyday class wear or weekend outfits, try a simple look that will allow the foil embellishment to shine; pair a loose-fitting gray tee with black denim skinny jeans and finish the outfit off with some trendy slip-on sneakers or motorcycle boots. Want to go glam? Opt for a sparkly skirt and moto jacket for your next big night out (New Year’s Eve party, anyone?!).
4. For the Playful Flirt: the Retro Twist
You’re all about having fun, but you also know how to show your best self in any situation. The simple twist is dramatic enough to show off your personality, but not nearly too over-the-top to wear to class. There’s nothing too serious about this style, which is why it can be achieved in a matter of minutes! It’s girly and fun but doesn’t require much effort, which means it’ll probably become your newest go-to hairstyle! Achieve it in a matter of minutes! Here’s how:
Directions:
1. Apply TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Foaming Mouse on damp hair and rough-dry.
2. Wrap hair loosely around the barrel of a one-inch curling iron, leaving ends out. Alternate the direction you wrap the hair around the iron to create an irregular wave.
3. Separate hair at the front of your crown, then loosely pull the section forward behind your ear as you begin to twist the hair.
4. Continue to loosely twist hair, gathering additional hair as you go, and secure with bobby pins.
5. Mist look with TRESemmé TRES Two Extra Hold Hair Spray for a flexible, lasting hold!
