Braided Headband
Let your hair air dry naturally, an spray a texturizer to get added movement, part your hair in the middle, then gather a two-inch section right above your ear, brushing your hair upward before you start braiding (that way, you redirect the hair) pin the plait on the opposite side of the before repeating above the other ear.
Note: you can do a fishtail braid with this hairstyle too!
And you can pin braided extensions a few inches from your hairline to resemble a crown instead of using your own hair, especially if your hair is short.
High Braided Ponytail
Use your fingertips to rake your hair back into a high ponytail, but be sure not to pull too tight, Braid loosely and secure with an elastic that matches your hair/clear elastic. Tease the unbraided ends with a rattail comb to add texture.
Bangs (wow, what a creative name.)
Blow your bangs out, then flip them back and clip them right behind your hairline with small bobby pins. You'll get a huge shot of volume with very little effort.
Low Side Bun
Spritz some texturizer onto your hair then pull it into a messy bun on one side of your head, then add a lose twist on your hairline. Let a few of the pieces fall out and frame the face.
Fishtail Braid
Second day hair-that is, strands that aren't freshly washed- works best for hairstyles like this. That way, the hair isn't slippery, a texturizer also adds extra bulk and thickness, without the powdery residue of dry shampoo.
Pretty & Pulled Back
Start with a middle part, then spray some volumizer, curl your strands away from your face with a one-inch-barrel iron, then soften the look by tousling with your fingers. To finish, twirl two sections of hair back and secure with bobby pins and a fun colored clip.
Teased Ponytail
Teasing a ponytail gives it more life.
First, tie your hair back, then spritz it it with some stronghold spray before
Teasing to help it holds its shape.
