This is one way to achieve the look of a shorter style without cutting into your mane; it keeps your neck and shoulders cool on the hottest days and nights, too. Another option: use this as a second-day look for your waves to save time on styling. Start with wavy hair, if yours doesn't have natural texture, create it with a curling iron, similar to the previous slide. Create a deep side part at your scalp with a comb. Put an elastic at the bottom of your hair, several inches up from the tip. Roll the small pony toward your neck and under the bulk of your hair. Use bobby pins to pin it in place. Leave out shorter, loose ends that didn't make it under. Finish with a spritz of hairspray. Feel free to pull out shorter pieces at the front for a messier look.
