Double Low Messy Buns

No time to wash and dry, and forced to work with second-day curls before taking your first shot? This following 'do is the style for you. Some clear elastics and some bobby pins might be in order, and to go even messier, add a texturizing spray like our Root Werk Root Lifter (which also works as a root lifter on damp hair). Need some guidance on how to make those buns look messy-chic, not like a messy bird's nest? We like this tutorial from Merrick's Art.

Down Hair with Double Braids

All you need is salt, lime, and two braids from the crown to the back. The type of braid is up to you. YouTuber Yara Olive has a how-to video for how to create the look with Dutch braids. When this style is complete, your arms will be free for clinking shot glasses. Hide any oil before styling with a dry shampoo powder like the NuMe Clean N' Mean Dry Shampoo Powder, and set the entire look with some of our Freeze Please Finishing Spray.

Curly Bun with a Side Braid

Nothing pairs with a Tequila Sunrise cocktail quite like a head full of luscious curls. Before you curl, part your hair from ear to ear and pin the top section up and away. It's going to be the side braid that will sweep into a bun of soft curls. Prep by spritzing the rest of the hair with the NuMe Watch Me Werk Thermal Heat Protectant, then wrap 1-inch sections around our Classic Curling Wand with a 19mm barrel. Once hair is curled, rake your fingers through to loosen the waves. Yes, there is a tutorial for this (thankfully)! Check out this video from braid maven Braidsandstyles12, who's using a NuMe wand to make this magic.

High Pony with a Metal Tie

Raise a glass to the metallic ponytail holder, which results in a sleek look that says, "I'm gonna celebrate by elegantly sipping a single serving of tequila on ice all night so I can still make my yoga class tomorrow morning." Get yourself a cool metal tie on Amazon. For this edgy look, prep damp locks with the NuMe Sleeky In A Bottle Serum. After drying, get even the unruliest of hair slick with a high-quality flat iron like our Style Setter Straightener. You can also use the straightener to create a subtle curl in the bottom of the pony. Learn more about the technique for creating waves with a straightener in this video from our YouTube channel.

The only other suggestion we have is a rideshare app on your phone or a designated driver in your crew. For more hair inspo, follow us @NuMeHair on Instagram. Love your NuMe products?
