Fatal Fantasy

Beauty: Lazy Hairstyling

"If your hair is done properly and you have on good shoes, you can get away with anything."

        This quote may be your greatest dream or your worst nightmare. Who has time to properly do their hair? Whowants to properly do their hair? When you're sitting in your bathroom and getting ready for school at 6 AM, nobody wants to spend too much time on their luscious locks. The answer to this problem; the Lazy Hair-styling techniques.

        Throughout this article, I'll take you step by step through the best, and laziest hair-styling techniques out there.

        First off, we'll start with the ladies.

        Long hair can get frustrating, especially in these heated summer months. Sometimes, all we need is to sit back and tie the hair up. However, boring old ponytails can be just that- boring. With this simple twist-and-tie bun technique, you'll be ready to tackle anything.

        First, lift your hair into a simple ponytail. Then take your hair and start twisting it, until it all forms a spiral. At this point, your hair should be tightly twisted together. Let up on the tightness slightly, only to bend your hair and twist it around the ponytail elastic that's holding your ponytail together. Keep doing this until all of your hair is wrapped into a circle around it. Finally, take bobby pins and place them throughout the bun, holding it in place.

        Now, on to the gentleman. Fauxhawks are all the trend right now, and one might be intimidated by the fashion and work required for such a style. However, it's really quite simple.

        First, you'll need styling gel. Nothing fancy, just something that will give your hair a nice hold. Take a quarter size of the gel and evenly apply it to all sections of your hair. Next, take the middle to front section of your hair, and start to style it upwards and forwards. Using the rest of the gel in your hair, flatten the sides and back to the shape of your head.

In the end, your hair should look something like this.

        One last technique that has saved me countless times, is something that you would not expect. Everyone has those days where they don't have time to take a shower, or simply don't have shampoo to wash their hair. There's no shame in this, as life can get quite busy. But how are you supposed to go threw the day with greasy hair? You're not!

        To combat greasy hair, simply take a handful of baby powder, and sprinkle it on the roots of your hair. (And yes, I did say baby powder.) Work your hands through your hair, making sure the powder absorbs all the excess oils in your hair. Make sure not to use too much, or your hair could turn white. When finished, you should have a full and clean head of hair.
