Your beauty routine could use a boost! No need to spend hours at the salon; here are stunning fast hairstyles that look like you put forth effort into their creation!
1. Braided Half-Updo
A braided half-updo is an elegant style that will elevate your style for any special event, prom, or formal meeting. Add an adorable scrunchie for added effect, and you’re good to go!
This half-up braid hairstyle is ideal for any girl with long locks. Take a section of your frontal hair and begin braiding it – or go for side weaving for an alternative option that keeps hair away from your face.
Those who enjoy French braids should try this stunning half-up style that strikes the ideal balance between sophisticated and romantic. Using bobby pins to keep the braid from unraveling or coming undone during wear is perfect for any event and face shape. Choose between classic French or more intricate fishtail or Dutch braids – either way; it will showcase your skills with French braiding!
2. Rollers for Heatless Curls
If you have long hair, using foam rollers for heatless curls is one easy way to show it off and add texture without doing much work. This style works well on all shapes and sizes of circles – apply them while your locks are slightly damp (or sleep with them in for that vintage diva look!).
Once you’ve obtained a practical set of foam rollers or velcro curlers, begin rolling sections of your hair from crown to bottom using these tools. Pins may also provide extra support if required.
As with any styling, overusing heat can be detrimental, so ensure that you allow your rolled-up hair to fully dry before taking out the rollers. If this isems too long, try misting them with water before unrolling them to speed things along!
3. Messy Bun with a Mohawk Braid
This messy braid updo brings an edge and fierce look to any ponytail or bun style. If your locks have waves, spray some VO5 Instant Volume Powder into the roots for added body and texture to help your strands stand out while holding their braid shape better.
Subdivide the remainder of your hair into two small sections and braid a classic 3-strand braid using an old-school method. Secure it at the end with a hairband; this style makes an easy entry point into braiding for beginners; for added flair add an attractive hairband or pins!
This mohawk braid hairstyle is perfect for women who must adhere to a strict dress code in the workplace. It combines style and sophistication by featuring big crochet braids forming a mohawk, accented by thin cornrows framing your face for added depth. The combination of textures gives this style its unique charm, suiting any face shape!
4. Updo with Sea Salt Texture
Sea salt spray makes achieving that beachy, textured look much more straightforward than you may realize. Apply some to dry hair and tousle it with your fingers for instant volume and texture without using heat-styling tools like blow dryers and straighteners in hotter climates. This technique makes styling your locks without using these devices much simpler!
Sea salt spray isn’t only great for creating beachy waves but can give any updo more texture and volume! Create that model-off-duty vibe with this textured ponytail style; for an unexpected finish touch, add a cute hair barrette as a finishing touch!
One way to quickly and effortlessly add texture and dimension to an updo is by using sea salt spray on damp hair before combing through with a wide-tooth comb, then leaving it to air dry. This gives an effortless, lived-in finish.
