Want to freshen up your look? John Frieda international creative consultant, Harry Josh, offers these tips to keep your hair looking good with a minimum of fuss.

Chic Chignon

  • Apply gel (try John Frieda Frizz-Ease Clearly Defined StyleHolding Gel) to the root of damp hair to help achieve a sleek, flat shape.
  • Using a tail comb (rather than a round brush), blow out hair, combing it flat against the head.
  • Create an extreme, slick side part and pull hair back into a bun.

Sleek High Pony

  • Use a light styling crème, such as Frizz-Ease Straight Fixation, and apply to the roots of damp hair.
  • Blow dry hair and follow with a flat iron to straighten.
  • Brush hair back into a high pony.
  • Secure hair with an elastic.
  • To disguise the elastic, tie a pretty ribbon around the pony or pull a piece of hair out of the pony, wrap it around the elastic and secure it underneath the pony with a bobby pin.
  • Spritz with hairspray to finish (try Frizz-Ease Moisture Barrier Firm-Hold Hair Spray).

Messy Fishtail Side Braid

  • Begin by gathering all of the hair to one side of the head, then divide it into two equal parts.
  • Take a small piece of hair (around ½ inch wide) from the first section and add it into the second section.
  • Continue by taking the same size piece as before from the second section and adding it to the first section.
  • Repeat this step three to four times before pulling the two sides tight to reveal a fishtail pattern.
  • Continue swapping pieces between sections until you no longer have enough hair to continue weaving back and forth.
  • Secure the ends with a small elastic.
  • Once tight, begin loosening the braid softly with your fingers to give it more of a sexy, undone texture.
  • Finish by spritzing with hair spray to hold, such as the Luxurious Volume All-Day Hold Hairspray.

Half-Back

  • Apply volumizing spray at the crown and blast with a blow dryer to create lift. Try Luxurious Volume Root Booster Blow Dry Lotion.
  • Sweep the front of hair back and secure with pins at the crown.
  • Curl sections with a 1¼-inch iron and run fingers through to loosen the curl almost completely.
  • Pull pieces out in the front to frame the face.
  • Finish with a shine spray, like Frizz-Ease 100% Shine.
