5-minute hairstyles by Elle

Filed in archive Beauty on February 22, 2007

Once again Elle gives the best hair styling tips! In the new Tress Express feature you can learn how to make over a dozen hairstyles:

"All of these fashion forward 'dos, from undone chignons to extreme side parts should take only about five minutes to pull off, thanks to the expert advice and product tips we scored at the salon. The bottom line? Definitely DO try this at home, the sooner, the chicer."

You can learn how to pull of a slick side sweep, rocker hair, mod headband, romantic ponytail, tousled waves, undone chignon, French twist, posh ponytail, braided bun, experimental ponytail, bohemian headband, modern Marie Antoinette and a crimped chignon.

My favorite is by far the French twist, which I always loved and never knew how to make. Following the instructions I was able to do it properly from the first try, which makes the instructions really foolproof.

Learn these by heart and you'll never be left with a bad hairstyle again!
