What are some good hairstyles for school?

Firstly, thanks to anyone who's taking the time to help me.

So does anyone know what are some good ideas for hairstyles for school? My school has rules..like they don't want us leaving our hair loose, although no one follows that rule.

I have a...

uniform as well, so that pretty much sucks and we're not allowed to wear make up so the only thing we can really do is our hair. :: sighs ::

So does anyone know some cute, easy, simple hairstyles that can be done quickly and not really standing out too much but just looking good?

Some hairstyles I normally do:

1. Ponytail, either high or low. Sometimes with a headband.

2. Half-up pony tail

3. Just leaving it down and loose

I'm sick of those though, and, well, I hate putting my hair up in a bun so please don't suggest that.

My hair is halfway down my back, dark brown/black, wavy-straight. The hairdresser kind of screwed up the haircut cause the front pieces is about an inch down my shoulder- and no it's not bangs. It was supposed to be layers..

I don't have a curling iron or a crimper so anything needing those, no can do.

So..help? please?

That's a tough one as I don't know your particular taste, I can make suggestions though. Side parts, and behind the ear usually work, it keeps it out of your face, tiny ornate clips enhance hairstyles, the old stand by braids are cool, like a loosely done french braid this is one of those things you just have to experiment with because it is so individual.

low braids...pigtails...
I do those hairstyles all the time

Thanks.

Oh and one more thing- we're only allowed to wear either black or white in our hair. I know, my school sucks right?

naw it dont suck...
I always wear black hair ties to skewl...
or black and white striped ones lol
