Jet set beauty: well-groomed hair is part of looking good. Great hairstyles are easy to conjure up. The classic ponytail at best looks as if you whizzed through town on a longboard after a night at the opera. In other words: undone chic. Here's how: work styling mousse into damp hair and blow-dry. For extra volume, tease the section of hair above the forehead slightly with a comb. Separate strands of different sizes and wave the lengths with a thick curling iron. Then tie everything into a high, messy ponytail. Also spray one strand from the ponytail heavily with hairspray (until it's wet) and wrap it around the hair tie. For the finishing touch: carefully pull individual strands out of the ponytail and let them fall into your face.

Jet Set Beauty - Bun Appétit

Strict ballerina meets all-night party: for volume and more grip, work dry shampoo into the roots, then rub a small dab of wax between your palms and knead it into your hair. Make a part and tease the back of your head lightly. Tie the hair low at the nape into a ponytail with a hair tie, but on the last pull-through leave a medium-sized loop so that only the tips stick out at the bottom. Wrap these around the tie and fix them with hair pins. Carefully pull out a few strands at the front.

The perfect look

When the hair is perfectly styled, the jet set beauty look is guaranteed.
Also a way to add variety to the everyday top-knot routine; just make two buns - and it instantly looks fancy. This look calls for volume and more structure: for extra fullness, work a volumizing powder or dry shampoo into the roots, and use a texturizing spray on the lengths so the style holds better. Divide the hair into two sections at ear level and twist the upper half into a bun high up and fix it. Then twist the remaining lower hair into a second bun roughly at the middle of the head. And the jet set beauty look is done.

Sleek peak: and because you can never get enough of the bun, here's another lowered, ultra-cool variant: tease the hair at the side so a quiff forms. Clip this section out of the way for now, brush through the rest of the hair and smooth it down with a bit of gel. Now spray a fine-tooth comb with a generous amount of hairspray and comb the mane down to the nape until no strand sticks out. Gather the lengths with your fingers, twist them into a bun, let the remaining five centimeters (about two inches) of hair point upward and secure with a hair tie.
