How to Create the Perfect Sleek Hair Down Look

If you're looking for a simple, polished style that keeps your hair off your face while serving serious sleek energy, this front-piece hack is about to become your go-to.

How to:

• Start by leaving out around two inches of hair at the front on each side of your parting.
• Clip the rest of your hair back to keep it out of the way.
• Lightly mist a sleeking brush with the Beauty Works Super Hold Hairspray to help tame flyaways.
• Smooth down the front pieces, making sure they sit flat and frame your face.
• Take a small section of hair from the nape of your neck and bring it forward.
• Tie this section together with the front piece on one side, securing it neatly at the back.
• Repeat on the other side.

Top tip: Finish with a light mist of the mirror shine spray for that added shine.

How to Perfect the French Twist Hairstyle

The French twist is a timeless, elegant updo that’s perfect for any occasion. Follow these simple steps for a sophisticated look in minutes.

How to:

• Gather your hair into one hand at the back of your head as if creating a low ponytail.
• Place your index and middle finger at the base of the ponytail and wrap the length of your hair around your fingers.
• Twist the hair upwards, guiding it into that classic French twist shape, so it sits vertically against the back of your head.
• Tuck in any loose ends for a smooth, secure finish.
• Slide in a French hair pin to hold the twist in place.

How to Create the Perfect Sleek Ponytail

For a glass-like, high-shine ponytail with added hydration, this hack is a must-try. Using the Beauty Works Nourishing Argan Oil Mask, you’ll achieve a flawless finish while treating your hair.

How to:

• Part your hair down the middle.
• Apply a small amount of the Nourishing Argan Oil Mask to the top of your hair, focusing on the roots and crown to control frizz.
• Divide your hair into three sections – one at the back and one on each side.
• Starting with the back section, smooth it down with more mask and a sleeking brush, securing it with a bobble.
• Repeat on each side, applying more mask, smoothing the top, and securing each section with its own bobble into the ponytail.
• Finish by smoothing a final touch of mask over the top and comb through with a fine-tooth comb for a sleek, seamless look.

Top tip: Leave the Nourishing Argan Oil Mask in throughout the day, then rinse out to reveal silky, hydrated hair.

How to Perfect the Wrapped Ponytail

Take your ponytail to the next level with this sleek, wrapped ponytail hack. It’s the secret to making a simple style look effortlessly elevated.

How to:

• Secure your ponytail at your preferred height.
• Loop a second bobble through the first, turning it 90 degrees so it sits horizontally.
• Take a small section of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the bobbles until they’re fully covered.
• Thread the end of the section through the top loop of the second bobble.
• Pull the bottom loop to lock the wrapped section into place.

Top tip: Run the Argan Oil Serum through your ponytail for a glossy, salon-worthy finish.

How to Master the Half-Up Claw Clip

Love a claw clip but want something a bit more elevated? This half-up claw clip hack is the perfect way to add effortless style while showing off your lengths.

How to:

• Section off the top half of your hair from around your temples.
• Gather this top section and pull it through to create a small looped bun, leaving the ends out.
• Secure the bun with a claw clip, making sure it grips both the bun and the base of the section.
• Let any face-framing pieces and the loose ends fall naturally for a relaxed, undone vibe.

Top tip: Lightly tease the top section for added volume and mist with the super hold hairspray to keep the style in place.

How to Create a Bouncy Blow-Dry Using Rollers

Get that salon-fresh bounce at home with this roller hack – ideal for volume, lift and long-lasting curls.

How to:

• Section the top of your head into three parts – one at the front and two behind.
• Style from the back section first with the AERIS MULTI-STYLER®, then roll into a roller and secure with a clip.
• Divide each side of your head into two layers (upper and lower).
• Split the upper section into three smaller pieces, curl and roll each one.
• Repeat on the other side.
• Finish by curling and rolling the bottom sections.
• Leave the rollers in to cool completely for lasting volume.

Top tip: Prep with the Bounce Back Volume Spray for added volume and the 10-in-1 Miracle Spray for heat protection.

How to Create the Braided Crown 

For a soft, romantic style, the braided crown hack is the perfect choice to elevate your everyday look.

• Use your sleeking brush to smooth back the hair above the plaits for a polished finish.
• Pull one plait over the top of your head like a headband and secure with bobby pins.
• Cross the second plait over the first and pin it in place.
