Hey, girls!
Have you ever wanted to try out a new hairstyle, but never known which one? Here are a few ideas for simple hairstyles that you can try out at home!
Top Knot:
This is my favourite for the days when I run out of time, and have really bad hairdays. It's easy, quick, and looks effortlessly elegant, and casual at the same time.
How-to:
Brush your hair neatly.
Flip your hair and gather it at the top.
Flip it back, and bring together the hair by combing it with your fingers. Tie it up.
Now, start twisting the pony you just made, and take it around to form a bun.
Secure with U-pins and bobby pins.
The Twist:
This is a look I love. It's girly and cute, and probably one of my go-to hairstyles for the days my fringe decides to misbehave.
How-to:
Take the desired partition.
Separate a small section of hair near your forehead, and divide it into 2.
Start by taking the section closest to your face, and bringing it over the second section.
Now take the section closest to your face and add a little hair to it (Like you would do with french braids) and keep repeating this until you get to your ear.
You can then pin it up with an embellished hairpin, and you're good to go!
Top Knot with Braid:
This is not a hairstyle I do often at all, but I really love it. It looks intricate, and oh-so-cute. Add a bow, and that's just a beauty.
How-to:
Divide your entire hair into 2 sections- upper and lower.
Tie a top knot with the upper half of your hair and make sure it's secure.
Now, flip your hair, and brush it neatly. Begin french braiding your hair from the top of your neck (All of this while your hair is still flipped).
Once you're done braiding the entire lower section of your hair, bring your head upright again, and wrap the remaining hair around the top knot you had tied previously. Pin the hair neatly, add a bow or any hair accessory, and you're done!
The Braid with a Twist:
This hairstyle is exactly as the title says- a twist, and a braid. Perfect for any casual outing, and for unruly hair.
How-to:
Follow the same steps as the previous hairstyle for the twist.
After you're done pinning the twist securely, begin regularly twisting your hair inwards until you get to the other side of your head.
Once here, you divide your hair into 2 sections. You take a little hair from one section, and add it to the other. You repeat this through your entire braid, and you should have a neat looking fishtail braid in the end.
Once I'm done, I like to tug on the sides of my braid to leave it looking a little lose and casual.
Curling with a Straightener:
This one is for those girls (like me) who don't own curlers, but always wish to have those perfect curls for some occasions.
How-to:
Divide your hair into sections during this entire process. The pattern I follow is to take sections from the bottom, and keep working my way upwards.
After you section out your hair, take a smaller section of about 2 inches, or however big you want your curls to be. (The smaller the section, the tighter the curls)
Begin straightening your hair.
About one-fourth of the way through, turn the iron towards the head, and continue straightening downwards.
Your curl should look something like this:
After you finish curling your entire hair, you can run through it lightly with your fingers. The curls might look a little too tight as soon as your done, but as you go through your day, your hair will keep relaxing and the curls will fall a bit.
Braided Headband:
This is a super simple hairstyle that ANYONE can do for any occasion.
How-to:
Take a small section of hair from near your ear and braid it. Do the the same thing on the other side.
Take both these braids across your head to the other ear, and pin it down. Cover the pins with the rest of your hair. It's as simple as that!

Where'd you get the white dress which is pictured somewhere towards the end, I believe?
ReplyDeleteBeen looking for a white summer dress for so long now.
Keep up the good work. Be dedicated to your blog, you piece of talent.
That white dress is my model's itself! And believe it or not, it's from one of the small lanes in commercial street. You get some of the best things there!
DeleteThank you so much! You put a smile on my face.
