Back-to-School Looks with Oribe Styling: Effortless Glamour for a New School Year

By Gypsy Rose Salon – Round Rock, Texas

As summer begins to wind down and the first bell of the new school year approaches, it's the perfect time to reinvent your style. Whether you're heading back to high school, returning to college, or you're a parent ready to reclaim your daily routine with confidence, there’s no better way to step into the new season than with a fresh, flawless look—courtesy of Oribe styling products and expert care from the team at Gypsy Rose Salon in Round Rock, Texas.

This year, it's all about combining ease with polish. We’ve put together the ultimate Back-to-School Hair Guide, featuring trendsetting styles, tips from our stylists, and the Oribe products we can’t live without. These elevated everyday looks are built for movement, hold, and healthy shine—so you can walk into the school year like you own the hallway.

Why Oribe? Because You Deserve Luxury That Works

At Gypsy Rose Salon, we believe that premium results start with premium products. That’s why we proudly carry Oribe, a line of high-performance, award-winning haircare and styling products that are as effective as they are luxurious.

Oribe products are:

  • Color-safe and sulfate-free

  • Infused with UV protection and antioxidants

  • Rich in natural extracts for strength, shine, and softness

  • Free from parabens, gluten, and cruelty

And let’s not forget the scent. The signature Côte d’Azur fragrance is an iconic blend of Calabrian bergamot, white butterfly jasmine, and sandalwood—a scent that turns heads and lingers in the best way.

Top 5 Back-to-School Hairstyles (And How to Style Them with Oribe)

1. The Sleek Ponytail – Low Effort, High Impact

The classic ponytail gets an update for 2025 with a super-sleek finish and glass-like shine. Whether you’re running late or intentionally minimal, this style works for all hair types.

How to Achieve It:

  • Start with damp hair and apply Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Cream through mid-lengths to ends.

  • Blow-dry smooth using a paddle brush or flat iron for extra polish.

  • Secure the ponytail low at the nape or mid-height.

  • Finish with Oribe Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil to eliminate flyaways and add shine.

Pro Tip from Gypsy Rose Stylists: Wrap a small piece of hair around the elastic and pin it underneath to give it that professional touch.

2. Undone Waves – Chic, Cool, and Campus-Ready

Think lived-in texture with a soft bend—perfect for class, lunch, or after-school events. This style is all about effortless beauty that looks great on everyone.

How to Achieve It:

  • Prep dry hair with Oribe Foundation Mist to detangle and protect.

  • Mist with Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray for volume and grip.

  • Use a 1.25" curling wand to curl hair in alternating directions.

  • Finger-comb the curls and add a few spritzes of Oribe Apres Beach Wave and Shine Spray.

Why We Love It: It adds body without crunch, and the style gets better as the day goes on.

3. Top Knot + Curtain Bangs – Fast & Fabulous

Ideal for those early mornings when dry shampoo is your best friend. This combo gives you the best of both worlds: a put-together top knot and soft bangs that frame your face.

How to Achieve It:

  • Revive roots with Oribe Gold Lust Dry Shampoo or Serene Scalp Oil Control Dry Shampoo Powder.

  • Pull hair into a high, messy bun, securing with pins or a silk scrunchie.

  • Style curtain bangs using a round brush and a touch of Oribe Maximista Thickening Spray for lift and movement.

Perfect For: Second-day hair and busy schedules. A must-have for college students or teachers on the go.

4. Braided Crown – Sweet Yet Sophisticated

A braided crown or halo braid is feminine, stylish, and practical. It keeps hair out of your face and transitions perfectly from class to dinner.

How to Achieve It:

  • Create two loose braids on either side of your head using day-old hair.

  • Pull each braid across your crown and pin securely with bobby pins.

  • Use Oribe Swept Up Volume Powder Spray for texture and hold.

  • Mist lightly with Superfine Strong Hair Spray to keep everything in place without stiffness.

Stylist Note: This look is beautiful on natural texture and waves, too.

5. Modern Blowout – Volume for Days

For those special back-to-school events—like picture day, pep rallies, or your first date of the semester—a voluminous blowout is unmatched.

How to Achieve It:

  • Wash with Oribe Shampoo for Magnificent Volume and condition lightly.

  • Apply Oribe Royal Blowout Heat Styling Spray for fast drying and thermal protection.

  • Blow-dry with a round brush for lift and bend.

  • Finish with Oribe Volumista Mist for Volume at the roots and Gold Lust Oil on ends.

Optional: Add soft velcro rollers to the crown for mega volume.

Back-to-School Hair Care Tips from Gypsy Rose Salon

It’s not just about styling—it’s about keeping your hair healthy and manageable as your schedule gets busier. Here are a few back-to-school care tips straight from our stylists:

✨ Tip 1: Hydrate, Always

Summer damage from chlorine and sun can leave hair brittle. Restore softness and strength with Oribe Gold Lust Repair & Restore Shampoo and Conditioner or indulge in an in-salon Oribe Renewal Treatment.

✨ Tip 2: Don't Skip the Heat Protection

If you're styling daily, protect your strands with Oribe Balm d’Or Heat Styling Shield or Invisible Defense Universal Protection Spray.

✨ Tip 3: Get Regular Trims

Book a trim every 6–8 weeks to maintain your style and avoid split ends. Back-to-school is the perfect time to refresh your layers or try something new—like trendy shag cuts, butterfly layers, or bottleneck bangs.
