First on the list is the half-up, half-down look. Simply pull the front of the hair back behind the head and fasten with hairpins or a clip. "That's one of those styles you'll see on the red carpet, you'll see it during the day," Gretta says. "It's good for work, it's good for anything."

Her second favorite is the messy bun. "The cool thing about that is that you can have day-old hair," Gretta says. Don't brush your hair — simply gather it into a bun on the top of your hair. "You can have medium-length or long and do the messy bun — no problem," she says.
