High Puff
An elegant, high-puff ponytail is ideal for special events. Slick back your locks using smoothing gel, or spray some leave-in conditioner to keep them hydrated, suggests Ulta Beauty pro team member Eaddy Santiago. Add some flair and character to your high ponytail by braiding in attachment braids for an eye-catching style – it adds color while providing structure – ideal for events or nights out with friends! Tie your 4c puff into a flat twist bun with braid cuffs and smooth edges for an eye-catching style, suitable for formal occasions such as long western dresses or ethnic gowns. It looks adorable when combined with bright lip colors and matching earrings!
French Twist
This timeless look is often associated with weddings and proms, yet can also be tailored for more casual events. To achieve it, brush and straighten your hair before twisting it at the back of your head using bobby pins crisscrossing around it (the thicker your locks are, the more pins you may need). Add an extra dash of personality to your French Twist style by personalizing it with natural-inspired accessories such as flowers or herbs for an exclusive style that works for every event, from dinner with friends to romantic dates. This technique gives your look a distinct style that will be around for a while! Missy Sue has created a braided twist for a more accessible take on the classic French twist, perfect for thick or curly hair and ideal for all seasons of wear. Wear this style all year round.
Center-Plain
If you want a cute and feminine protective style, a chin-length bob with peek-a-boo bangs may be needed to achieve that look. This style works best on women with medium to thick hair and helps frame facial features by framing their features beautifully. If you want to add some flare to your bob, try cornrowing the sides or creating a wheel pattern with braids for a unique style that shows off your creativity while being suitable for any event. This look shows your individuality while staying classy! If you have long hair, pull your locks back into a high ponytail for an instantly chic and eye-catching style that makes a statement. This style works well with all hair textures but looks remarkably polished on straighter styles. If you have short hair instead, try opting for a rope-braided ponytail to keep it neat without looking overly structured – something popular among rappers such as Lil Yachty and Travis Scott.
Tousled
Tousled hair is ideal for anyone who wishes to achieve effortless beauty. It works exceptionally well when combined with side-swept bangs and a light strawberry blonde color, creating an irresistibly romantic and sweet ensemble perfect for any special event or special day! To achieve a sophisticated yet natural-looking texture, start by washing your hair with volumizing shampoo and conditioner, then using a diffuser to dry your locks while scrunching them with your hands for an authentic-looking, natural-looking texture that can easily be restyled. For longer hair, lightly spray your locks with saltwater before teasing each strand to create an undone, messy effect. This is a great way to add volume and dimension without resorting to hair cosmetics; short haircutters may achieve this by asking their stylist to create a choppy bob, giving you a trendy tousled look that lasts throughout the day.
