This one allows you to get creative. Grab strands at random to twist or braid toward the back of your head, where you can start to secure each section. Keep going until all of your hair is up.
What to Pack to Get the Look: You're definitely going to want pins for this look. Choose ones that work well with your hair color and texture.

A loose side braid is the perfect low-maintenance vacation style. Zendaya's is messy, but that's the point, so don't worry about getting every last piece of hair to lie perfectly flat in the braid.
What to Pack to Get the Look: Pomade or wax will give your hair just enough stickiness to hold together more easily.

Mega volume takes Nina's ponytail to a whole new level. It would be the perfect accompaniment to a sundress or ski goggles.
What to Pack to Get the Look: A teasing comb can help give your hair volume, texture, and thickness. Just make sure you comb out any tangles and use a moisturizing conditioner during your next shower because teasing can be tough on strands, leading to breakage if you're too rough.

A high knot is the ultimate low-maintenance look. You can go the sock-bun route or simply twist your hair into a donut-shaped ring.
What to Pack to Get the Look: Take a few socks you wouldn't mind cutting for a bun, or use a hair donut for a little more volume. You'll also want to make sure you have a wide elastic—mini bands just won't cut it!

A wide-brimmed hat will keep harmful rays away from your delicate skin. Plus, it's a chic accessory to any outfit!
What to Pack to Get the Look: A hat of your choosing. Cher matched her blue hat to her newly dyed hair, but you don't have to get that wild at home.

Holland's twist on the classic half-up/half-down look incorporates a mini bun. It's a super simple look to achieve. The effect? A cute boho-chic vibe that's perfect for vaca mode.
What to Pack to Get the Look: Small hair elastics will hold the tiny bun in place better than wide ones that you'd have to twist around and around to get it to stay in place securely.

Ashley's ponytail is a preppy classic. If you're trying to survive on second- or third-day hair, this look is the way to go.
What to Pack to Get the Look: A travel-safe alternative when carrying on: Transfer hair gel into an unbreakable three-ounce container.

Adding volume at her crown gave Shay’s simple style a fresh feel. If your front sections of hair aren’t long enough to fit into the low ponytail, just secure them right above it with pins.
What to Pack to Get the Look: Dry shampoo will help you get a little extra height. If you’re traveling on an airplane, try a powder version, like Lush No Drought, because aerosol cans often don’t pass security.

A low-key twist is great if you're constantly on the go. Just wind your hair back into a low bun and pull pieces out to give it a more casual feel.
What to Pack to Get the Look: Depending on how much support your hair needs, you may want extra hair ties and a few bobby pins to keep it from slipping out.
