Summarize:

Although simple, this is a great way to change up your daily look. Slide the handle of a rat-tail comb back through your hair to create a deep side part. Tuck the thinner side of the part behind your ear. If your hair is too short to stay tucked behind your ear, use a hair clip instead. Brush your hair back to make your part go away. Next, slip a headband over your head, then pull it back behind your hairline until it is perpendicular to your ears. This works well with plastic, metal, or fabric/elastic headbands. Find a long, skinny, silk or chiffon scarf. Tuck it under your hair and place it on the back of your nape. Pull the ends of the scarf over the top of your head, then tie them into a tight knot. Upgrade your look by doing 1 of the following: Finish off with a double-knot if you only have a few inches/centimeters of scarf left. Tie the ends of the scarf into a bow if the scarf is long enough. Pull the knot towards the left or right side of your head, just above 1 eyebrow, for a chic look. Pull the knot towards the back of your head so that it rests under your nape. Leave the ends long. Squirt some hair gel, pomade, or mousse into your palm, then massage it between your hands for a few seconds. Use your hands and a comb (if needed) to manipulate your hair into all sorts of shapes and styles. Try any of the following: Comb your hair back or to the side for a sleek and chic look. Spike your hair up for an edgy look. Brush it back slightly to get a quiff. Gather the top section of your hair between your palms to create a dorsal fin. Use the handle of a rat-tail comb to create a center or deep-side part. Gather the left side of your hair into a pigtail at the left side of your hair and secure it with a small hair tie. Repeat the process for the right side. If your hair is not long enough to do a full ponytail, you could try a half-up ponytail instead. Gather all your hair at ear-level and up into a ponytail at the back of your hair and secure it with a hair tie. Upgrade your style by doing any of the following: Add a cute hair clip or barrette to cover the hair tie. Part your hair to the side before you start for a chic look. Leave loose strands as they are, or take a moment to curl or straighten them. If your hair is still too short, try using bobby pins to hold it back instead of a hair tie.
Change the way you part your hair. Pull your hair back with a headband. Wrap a chic scarf around your head like a headband. Style pixie-length hair with hair gel or mousse. Try a pair of pigtails for bob-length hair. Try a half-up ponytail if you can't do a full ponytail.
