9. Low pigtails

Why not get as much sleep as possible in the morning? Before you go to bed, spritz your hair with dry shampoo and put it into braids or twists. Next morning, skip the hair-washing and just undo your nighttime look for fresh daytime waves.

12. Try a hair bow or accessory

Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
