Let’s be honest, finding the perfect hair style for date night (or GNO!)—one that’s just the right balance between chic and casual—isn’t always easy. The ideal style should not only be cute, but also quick—something you can achieve between the office and your 7:00 dinner rez.

These two style ideas for a night on the town are just that. Simple and elegant, each only require one accessory to pull off, and you can master them both in five minutes. Here’s how!

1. Curl your hair with the Beachwaver S1, securing the clamp near the ends of your hair for polished, glam waves.

2. On one side of your head, take two one-inch sections, and twist them both away from your face, then cross the section farthest from your face over the front section. Add hair from the top of your head to one of the strands. Twist, and cross the sections. Continue until you reach the ends, then clip out of the way. 

3. Repeat on the other side, then secure both rope braids together in the back with a clear elastic.

4. Finish by adding a Beachwaver® Velvet Barrette Bow! 

1. Curl your hair with the Beachwaver S1, securing the clamp near the ends of your hair for polished, glam waves.

2. Section out two diagonal pieces of hair on each side. 

3. Bring the pieces together into a ponytail, and secure with a clear elastic.  

4. Grab your Half Up! 

5. Secure the Half Up near the ends of the pony. 

6. Roll the Half Up forward, toward your crown. 

7. Pinch the ends together, and roll downward. 

8. Arrange hair around Half Up to conceal.
