If switching from long to short hair has been ridiculously easy, then switching from long to extra-long hair, and without the need to use extensions, will be a piece of cake. Guaranteed. And just imagine what your colleagues will think when they realize you can put together more hairstyles than Beyoncé! For the super long ponytail recipe, you only need a standard hair rubber band and a tiny one, here’s how to do it: 1. Divide your hair in two sections, as if you were to do a half-up half-down, and secure the half-up on the top of your head with the regular rubber band. 2. Take the half-down and make a ponytail with the little rubber-band, making sure it lies really flat against your head. It’s done!

Telling this hairstyle is shockingly easy and effective is not enough.

When I first saw this hairstyle I couldn’t believe I’ve never thought about it before. Actually, I’m a big fan of head-downwards stylings, but I’ve never seen a braided bun, well, upside down! If you want to replicate this up-do, you’ll only need two elastics and some bobby pins: 1. Tip your head downwards and start making a braid form the nape towards the top of your head. 2. Once your braid is done, secure it with an elastic and make a ponytail with the remaining hair and the second elastic. 3. Now get a messy bun from your tail and fix it to your head with bobby pins. Easy enough?
