Here's a couple of things for you to do today:

*Watch the video below.

*Take a moment and allow yourself to melt in the warm embrace that is the charm of James Pecis (only made more charming by the fact that he's now an Oribe Haircare Global Ambassador).

*Reconsider your entire hair game for the week, to the extent that you planned that far in advance. If your hair is long enough, both styles (braid updo and twisted pony) require very little, if any, actual expertise in doing your own hair. How convenient!

*Optional but recommended: Go back and read about James' first look in this series, some very loose, '70s-esque waves. That way, you have a James Pecis-inspired look for every mood.

Now go forth and be productive. Have a great week!
