When I first cut my hair looked in the mirror and thought, " Shoot! I can't do any styles now!". I tried to look on pinterest for some but I couldn't find any. So I tried experimenting with it I tried many styles, some of them worked and some didn't. I thought some people with short hair that don't know what to do with it might like this instructable. These do work on long hair if you were wondering. I hope you enjoy this instructable.

This is a fun summer hairstyle that looks good on anyone it is easy and only uses hairbands and a brush!
The first thing you do is brush your hair really well and make sure there are no knots
Then make two identical (or as close to identical as you can get) ponytails on both sides of your head make them closer of farther to the middle of the back of your head depending on the length of your hair, if your hair is longer make it farther from the middle and if your hair is shorter make it closer to the center
After that make braids with the hair in the ponytails secure the ends with hair bands (they will be taken out later)
Next attach the two braids with a hairband and after that pull the hair bands that were securing the braids out.
Done!

This is a cute style that even keeps the your hair off your neck all you need is a good brush and a hair band if your hair falls slips out of hairbands you can use some hairspray (I don't normally use it)
Firstly, brush your hair back in a slick making sure there are zero knots.
Next take three small pieces of hair and cross one of the pieces over the center piece of hair before doing the other side add a small chunk of hair to it and then cross it over, do the same until you get just past the line of the middle of your head. Collect the extra hair and put a hair band over the braid and the extra hair
Now your done!

This is a really easy but still cute hair style
The first thing you do is brush your hair out
Then put your hair in a ponytail and don't put the hair band to close to the start of your ponytail but not too close to the edge either
Next, poke your finger through the hair that is not in the ponytail making a hole big enough to poke your ponytail through
After that flip the ponytail through the hole
Now you're done!
