So I've been asked by a friend of mine, if I know of and could post some easy to do hairstyles, that you can wear on a daily basis, but still looks really cute. Well this is definitely right up my alley. As most of you know, makeup is more my forte, but hair is really important to me as well. If my makeup looks great, but my hair isn't done or has seen better days, it just feels to me, that my look isn't pulled entirely together. Ever since I was a kid, my mom has been my helper with my hair. She taught me how to curl, straighten, blowdry, set curlers, braid, you name it, my mom knows how to do it! Just recently actually she taught me how to fish tail braid. So on that note, the loose, side fishtail braid is going to be my first, easy to do, daily wear cute look. You've probably seen plenty of celebrities sporting this look, and think to yourself, there is no way I could do this is my hair. But that's not true at all! Now trying to describe how to do this look in writing, would be confusing and near impossible so below is a step by step instruction on how to do this, and a picture of the finished product!
The best way to add a little more style to this look, is to tease the crown on your hair before you start the braid. Or if you really want a pop, tease your crown, do the braid, and pair with a really cute double headband. Good luck!
The next look, and the one I use the most, is waves with a hair straightener! Sounds crazy, I know, but trust me it works!! First, wash your hair, scrunch it up a little bit like you would with hair gel to get a little curl, but use NO product. When your hair is COMPLETELY dry, then you can start. Part your hair whichever way it feels the most comfortable. I usually part mine down the middle, but side parts work just fine too. Then, spritz just a little bit of a flexible hold hairspray into your hair BEFORE you start the curling. Make sure it's a flexible hold and not a stiff hold hairspray. If it is too stiff, you won't be able to do anything with it and it will just look crunchy. Pick up a 1 inch section of your hair, and starting at the closest part to your scalp, but not too close or the curls will start too high. Press the straightener on your hair, and start turning the hair straightener just like you would a curling iron, until your hair falls out of the straightener. Make sure you get every peice of your hair, and you should have a curl! Don't touch it yet. Do your whole head, then spritz your whole head again. Once the hairspray has dryed, with your fingers, run them through your hair, starting from underneath. Shake your hair a bit, and there you have it! It only takes me about 20 minutes to do my whole head, and I have a lot of hair, so it really is a simple style, and looks like you spent forever on it!
The last look I would say is pretty simple, and really doesnt need a lot of explanation. It is the "messy" side bun. If you have little to no time to do your hair, but still want to have a cute look, then this is the look for you. Start with your hair down and parted on the side. Take each side and twist up the first layer of your hair and pin it back with a bobby pin. Repeat on the other side. Then, pull all of the rest of your hair to the side, and secure with a hair tie. Take another hair tie, bunch all of your hair up in a messy bun and secure it to the side of the nape of your neck. Throw on a pair of cute earring and you're all set :)
The bun level in her hair is a little higher than normal. You can acheive the same look but with a lower bun closer to your shoulder if you like!
Good luck with these hairstyles! If anyone has any other styles they enjoy that are easy that they would like to add, please feel free to comment and i'll be happy to link it!
