Byline: Elizabeth Einstein PHOTOGRAPHED BY PATRICK DEMARCHELIER
Elegant party hair needn't take an hour, complicated accessories, and a licensed pro. We offer real style in five minutes flat.
You're at work, you're on Facebook (who isn't?), and a party invitation for that night enters your inbox. Your dress may be all wrong, your heels not quite high enoughbut your hair? That's easy: No matter what your starting point, there are plenty of stylish looks that don't require more than five minutes and a few bobby pins to execute. "It takes time and effort to make hair look special if you wear it down, but it doesn't necessarily take much of either to pull it back into a pretty style," says Garren of the Garren New York salon in New York City, who created the looks on these pages. Plus, he adds, "if you're wearing a dress or a top that has something going on around the shoulders or even just an interesting neckline, the hair really looks best worn up, to highlight that." So log off, shut down, and turn the page for the quickest hair looks around.
