CHIC-AND-EASY HAIRSTYLES TO TRY ON THE FIRST DAY

- ALEESHA HARRIS Aharris@postmedia.com

Stuck for how to wear you hair on the first day back at school? Well, not anymore.

We asked hair expert Veronika Sorek, a senior stylist for Marc Anthony Profession­al, to create a chic-and-easy hairstyle for the back-to-school season. And, instead, she created three.

Here’s how to re-create the looks on your own hair at home.

LOOK 1: SMOOTHED OUT WAV E S

1. Wash your hair and finish with conditione­r to assist in smoothing out the look from the start

2. Comb out damp hair using a leave-in conditione­r such as Marc Anthony’s Bye Bye Frizz Leave in Conditione­r.

3. Blow dry hair smooth using a paddle brush, then follow with a 1/4-inch curling wand curling hair away from the face in 1 inch sections

4. Using a small drop of serum, such as Marc Anthony’s Bye Bye Frizz Serum, in the palm of the hand, run through hair to smooth any fly-aways

LOOK 2: TOP-PONY

1. Tussle waves — second-day hair is great for this — with Marc Anthony Grow Long Texture Spray. If you want a little more volume at the root, try the Marc Anthony Coconut Dry Conditione­r.

2. Section the top portion of your hair, temple to temple, and wrap hair securely with an elastic band, taking a small section of hair to wrap around the pony and hide the elastic. Use a bobby pin to secure.

3. Finish the look with some hairspray.

LOOK 3: LOW MESSY BUN

1. Use Marc Anthony Coconut Dry Conditione­r, starting at the roots, and brush hair through.

2. Section hair into three even sections and braid into a single braid, loosening the braid as you go. 3. Twist the braid upward and under, pinning to secure. 4. Finish off with Marc Anthony Coconut Dry Styling Oil to smooth.
