Shop OutfitsHOW TO: The Chignon
You will need: a tail comb, bobby pins and finishing spray
1. First, use the comb to part the hair down the middle (for little girls with fringes, part from the crown). Smooth it behind the ears on each side, and gather it at the nape of the neck
2. Gather the hair together to create a low ponytail and gently twist the ponytail from end to end, coiling it into a bun shape
3. Secure each side of the bun with a bobby pin
4. Gently loosen the bun to get your size and shape (this will vary depending on the thickness of the hair) and secure around the bun with the bobby pins
5. To create added volume to the top of the hair, slide the tail comb into the crown and give it a light tug
6. Set the hair with a light dusting of hairspray to hold it in place
7. Layer the hair clips from front to back in succession along one side of the head

You will need: bobby pins, a hair elastic, fine hairspray and fresh flowers
1. Start by pulling all the hair, except the side sections, into a ponytail and loop the hair to make a top knot before fastening
2. Use a proportion of the hair from each side to make little loops which will form what look like curls — secure these into the top knot with bobby pins
3. Take the remaining sections of hair to create two plaits, one on either side, plaiting it from the front
4. Set the hair with a light dusting of hairspray to hold in place
5. Accessorise the hair with fresh flowers, woven into the different sections of the plaits and amongst the curls

Shop GarlandsHOW TO: Natural Waves
You will need: a curling iron, finishing spray or serum, a floral headband
1. Take a one-inch section of hair and wrap it around the curling iron. You can go all the way to the end or leave the ends straight for a more beach wave-inspired look
2. Continue to take one inch sections of hair, repeating the above until all the hair is curled
3. Use the finishing solution. For thick hair, smooth with some finishing serum, lightly pulling the hair downwards as you run your fingers through to prevent frizz and to gently loosen the curls. For finer hair, dust with a light finishing spray and gently tousle the hair with your fingers
4. Place the hairband on the top of the head. We recommend securing it with bobby pins to keep it in place all day
