Pull off the cool, casual look by copying Lili Reinhart’s messy bun. Part your hard down the middle and pull it back into a bun at the nape of your neck. Loosen it up so it’s not too tight and make sure to pull out some pieces of hair at the front to perfect the look.
If you’re looking for a next-level glam hairstyle that requires minimal effort, look no further than Zendaya’s head. Dupe her look by piling on the pomade, then combing down your hair flat.

Bouncy curls are the easiest way to give your lob an over-the-top glam feel. Blow out your strands, then use a big barreled curler to wave out your look.

Rock your natural texture like Ashleigh Murray. Part your hair where you prefer and make sure your curls stay defined and frizz-free with a curl defining creme.
A chic top knot goes with literally any look, so rock Hailee Steinfeld’s updated version for homecoming. Put your hair into a high pony, then twist it around into a bun. Use a plethora of bobby pins to secure it, leaving the tail of your ponytail hanging out.
Go for a simple, chic look like Maia’s asymmetrical bob. Pin back one side with a bobby pin to keep your hair out of your face while you dance the night away.
Go for this sky-high pony look, a favorite of celebs like Kylie Jenner and Ariana Grande. Pull your hair up to the top of your head and secure it with a thick hair tie. Separate a good chunk of hair and braid it to the bottom. Wrap the braid around the hair tie for an updated pony.
AnnaSophia Robb’s one-sided-tuck is chic enough for a dance, but easy enough to rock for class. Just pull or braid back one side of your hair, then pin it in place behind your ear.

This undone ‘do is pretty, but still totally laid-back. Just curl your hair with a flat iron, then pull it up in a mid-level pony. Pull down some wispies in the front to keep the style from looking too polished.

Go simple with long, sleek hair like Bella Hadid. Part your hair deep on one side to mix up the look and make it last all night long with a shielding creme.
Just because there’s a ball, it doesn’t mean you have to look like Cinderella. Go totally bad-girl with a greaser-inspired bun like Chlöe Grace Moretz’s. Gel out your bangs and style them into a messy swirl. Then throw up the rest of your hair into a messy knot.
I’m convinced that if Wonder Woman went to homecoming this is what her hair would look like – so thick it could be used as a weapon, but still fierce af.

Then, twist each section around each other in the opposite direction and finish with an elastic and lots of serum for that super shiny look.
