Ponytails may seem like an easy solution to creating the look you’re going for, but when done right,, they can elevate any look. Try adding some flair from low to high ponytails by tying one with an attractive hair accessory for added polish.
Braids can make for a practical work look that appears complicated but is relatively easy. All it takes to add two topsy tails at the end of your braid for an adorable upgrade is two additional topsy tails to the end of it!
Low Ponytail
A stylish new ponytail on the scene is quickly gaining traction among braids and topknots: texture-driven low ponytails are fast becoming trendy, overshadowing intricate braids and elegant topknots in popularity. Instead of depending on volume alone for style points, these low ponytails use texture tricks to elevate an otherwise simple look into something next-level cool-girl-worthy.
Start with a clean middle parting before using an elastic hair tie to secure its base; finally, create texture by randomly crisscrossing random sections across this base to hide elastic from view while lifting it to an even greater stylish height.
A low ponytail provides the ideal platform to display your hair accessories. Add color and texture with ribbon, string, or lace; clip some barrettes onto it; wrap the scrunchie around a ponytail; or slip in a headband for another fun touch! This style works for women of all ages and looks especially striking with long, sleek dresses or similar attire – try this look if attending formal events where looking chic is critical!
French Braid
A French braid is one of the classic and cute school hairstyles to attempt. Perfect for curly or wavy locks, and great for keeping bangs out of your eyes while studying, start by using Fructis Anti-Humidity Smoothing Milk to prep your locks before parting it into three even sections, holding onto each section with either your right or left hand and following traditional French braiding patterns to achieve this look.
Add texture and dimension to your French braid by including small strands from the sides. By unifying these strands within your braid, they’ll give it more body while making pinning down loose strands easier – plus, they make your French braid even more voluminous! Keep doing this until you reach the end and secure it with elastic.
High Bun
If you have longer locks, try this snazzy high-bun hairstyle! Perfect for formal events or casual wear when needing something quick yet stylish to complete your look, this look makes an impression impression with ease and is easily manageable instantly!
Grab your hair in a ponytail of any height you desire and let it rest at the nape of your neck. There is no need for a perfect slickback; let some loose strands framing your face hang loose instead. Backcomb any remaining locks for volume before wrapping them into a low ponytail at the top of your head, secure them with bobby pins, and spray Pureology Soft Finish hairspray to hold them in place.
A high, twisted bun can add drama and movement to any look, especially when embellished with flowers or beads. Just be mindful not to make the bun too tight, as excessive tension on your roots could lead to traction alopecia if made too tightly.
