LOOK 1 | The Scarf Topknot
TIME IT'LL TAKE
5 minutes (We love this for a last-minute dinner invite!)
BEST FOR
All hair types and lengths (Short-haired gals: just skip the topknot and add the scarf.)
WHAT TO DO
1.Make a topknot, but keep it a little messy—stray pieces around your face are fine, too.
2.Fold a large square scarf into a two-inch wide length. With the centre of the scarf at the nape of your neck, bring the ends around to your forehead. Loop them into a knot and tuck the ends out of sight.

LOOK 2 | The Headband
TIME IT'LL TAKE
1 minute if your hair is already wavy, 15 minutes if it's not.
BEST FOR
All hair types and lengths.
WHAT TO DO
1.Use a 1.5 inch curling iron to add loose waves to the bottom two-thirds of your hair, finishing with a spritz of shine spray. If you've just taken an ocean dip, let hair air-dry for natural, salty waves.
2.Make a centre part, then tuck your headband into your hair about an inch back from your hairline—don't use the headband to push back your hair, just let it act as a pretty accent.

LOOK 3 | The Barrette Topknot
TIME IT'LL TAKE
5 minutes
BEST FOR
All hair types and lengths
WHAT TO DO
1.Prep your hair as you would for Look 1.
2.Choose a few of your favourites barrettes (it's the number and scale that keep this elevated) and stagger them to one side of your topknot. Got short hair? Barrette as you please—no prep required!

LOOK 5 | The Scarf Braid
TIME IT'LL TAKE
15 minutes (It's easier than it looks.)
