Pin-up Curls
If you have short natural curly hair, try pin-pinning it up like this to keep them out of your face and add an adorable, quick style. It’s so simple and looks fantastic!
Deep Side Part with Swooped Curls
If middle parts aren’t your style, try opting for a deep side part with curls swooped to one side instead – it makes an exquisite, romantic statement!
Half Up, Half Down
A half-up hairstyle is an effortless way to show off your stunning bangs! Ask your stylist to cut full, blunt bangs that brush against your eyebrows to achieve this gorgeous style. Perfect for Zoom calls, work meetings, and weekend brunches; for an elevated twist, add an embellished hair clip for sophistication!
High Pigtail with Volume
To add texture and volume, apply light-holding gel or pomade such as Matrix Style Link Over Achiever 3-In-1 Cream Paste Wax before creating a high pigtail on one side of your head. Backcomb or fluff it for additional volume before securing it with a clear hair elastic. For an elevated style, add another adjustable 2 inches from the first, fasten it like before until reaching the base of your neck, and attach both of them together until reaching it. Finish this look off by using volumizing mousse and medium-hold hairspray for finishing touches.
Twisted Bun
A twisted bun hairstyle is feminine and chic – ideal for any special event or casual occasion. Leave some loose strands around the face for a more relaxed vibe, or pin them tightly into loops resembling flower petals for added volume and dimension. Additionally, this style works exceptionally well on women with shorter necks, helping reduce its size while simultaneously creating a a book! To generate this updo, start by creating a slight pouf at the crown of your head and backcombing it slightly before gathering the remaining hair and twisting it into a low twist secured with bobby pins. Finally, spray some hairspray onto the style so it stays put all day. This cute and feminine updo is ideal for special events ranging from formal dinners to office parties; its easy maintenance makes it great for busy days when something quick is required quickly!
Fishtail Braid
Fishtail braids might look complex, but they’re more straightforward than you might think to achieve the Pinterest-worthy version you desire. For best results, start with clean second or third-day-old locks (the less fresh and slippery your strands are, the better) before applying a volumizing dry shampoo like Klorane’s Dry Shampoo With Oat Milk to give added lift and texture when braiding. Once your strands are untangled, grab a pencil-size section from one side and cross it onto the opposite half. Please repeat this step, adding small sections from both left and right until reaching the base of your strands and securing them with a small hair tie. You can wear this voluminous style either down or tuck it into a romantic low bun for an updo that will steal the show. And don’t worry about shorter strands–this style works just as beautifully on bobs and other shorter haircuts.
Side Curls
If you want a vintage starlet vibe, opt for the timeless deep side part and dramatic bangs look. For extra elegance and drama, add sun-kissed highlights in wavy balayage for added dimension. Make this look low maintenance by applying some texturizing pomade, like Oribe’s Texturing Pomade, through your locks before sweeping them to one side and scrunching. This will keep your curls looking polished throughout the day! Kiss curls (spit curls) are an iconic retro style making a comeback in 2018. Once only seen on flapper-era heads, this look has made waves since revamped to adorn sleek updos and braided hairstyles. To achieve the style quickly and effortlessly, start by sectioning off your hair into three sections before twisting each towards the back of your head and secure with some bobby pins for instant success!
