As promised this is my second easy, formal look that any girl can whip up with a a rubberband and a few bobby pins.  First, make a part hair on one side of your head and grab all your hair to the opposite side and make a low ponytail behind ear.  For a youthful, trendy look, curl the ends with a 1″ curling iron and wrap a small strand of hair around the ponytail and use a bobby pins to secure the end.

From here, if you’re hoping to achieve a more elegant and sophisticated look, grab a small strand and curl it around your finger and place it close the base of the ponytail to make a small barrel-size curl and bobby pin the curl close to the ponytail. You may continue to use this same technique, placing the curls around the ponytail so that the base of the ponytail is hidden by the curls. Now hairspray it in place and add your favorite hair jewel/pin or flower near the top and front of the curls. Voila!
