7 Not-Basic Ideas for Keeping Your Hair Off Your Neck

1 MIXED DOUBLE BUNS

The better to show off your trendy piercing. To get this clean, cool look, pull the upper third into a ponytail, leaving the ends out, and the remaining two-thirds into a low bun. Easy.

2TWISTED ENDS

One for girls who've hopped on the Lob/Chop Express, Jourdan Dunn's rolled-under ends only *look* complicated. Keeping everything low, twist the sides first, pin, then roll the back hair up around the side twists. Points for symmetry. More points for visible finger tracks.

3 BRAIDED BUNS 2.0

So much texture, so much confusion—but we can sort this out. Without assistants and professional hairstyling experience, we reckon you can still get the same effect thusly: center part, twist sides halfway down, pin. Braid from the mid-lengths down, then wrap until the braid folds in on itself. Lots of pins, some tousling, and you're good.

4BUN MOHAWK

What makes this one different from the punk-poseur others you've probably seen on Insta? 1) Adir Abergel made this, and 2) It starts at the crown of the head instead of the hairline. Each section is also clearly demarcated, there's clearly been thought put into balance and proportion, but you could do it more haphazardly and still have it turn out cute.

5 WET-LOOK TWISTED PONY

Pretty self-explanatory and great for morning shower-ers. Pro tip: Work in the best leave-in conditioner for your hair type before you put it up.
