First and foremost, let me clarify that I am not a professional hairdresser. Moreover, I’m not the kind of person who obsesses over their hair. To be honest, I rarely do anything with it. Styling my hair is an occasional endeavor, usually saved for special events.
I consider myself lucky if I remember to brush my hair in the morning. You see, I have long, smooth tresses. While this might be a wish come true for some, it doesn’t excite me. It’s both a boon and a bane. On one hand, I wake up with naturally straight hair, sometimes forgetting to comb it because it doesn’t make much of a difference. It remains relatively unaltered. On the other hand, my hair tends to appear monotonous, and that can become quite tiresome. In those moments, I embark on a great quest to search the internet for different haircuts that can help me change my look a bit.
Here are a few haircuts I’ve gathered for those times when you’re feeling uninterested and want to pay some attention to your hair. Don’t worry, these styles are so simple that even I can handle them without any difficulty.
1Impeccable ponytail
If you resemble me in any way, you’ve dedicated a considerable portion of your life admiring flawless ponytails of other girls in countless Pinterest pictures, pondering why yours doesn’t possess the same appearance. It seems so effortless and stunning in those images, with abundant volume and bounce. However, when I strive for the same style, it turns out uneven, flat, and lackluster. Well, let me disclose a little secret. It turns out that the solution lies in the appropriate products, teasing, and incorporating texture. To accomplish the impeccable ponytail, simply adhere to these five straightforward steps:
- Utilize a small quantity of volumizing hair mousse while your hair is still moist. Comb it through uniformly.
- Blow-dry your hair, and for added volume, experiment with flipping your head upside down.
- Curl the tips of your hair or employ a sea salt texturizing spray, scrunching your hair to generate some texture. Ponytails always exhibit a superior appearance with a hint of texture.
- Tease the hair at the crown, gather the upper layer, and fasten it with bobby pins.
- Pull the remainder of your hair back into a ponytail and secure it with a hair elastic. If you desire to conceal the elastic, encircle a small section of hair around it and fasten it with a bobby pin or tie a bow on top of the elastic.
And there you possess it—an impeccable ponytail.
2Innovative Twisted Braid
Here lies an inventive and original variation of the usual low braid. It’s the perfect hairstyle for the second day after washing your hair, especially when time is limited but you still desire a polished appearance. It’s uncomplicated, swift, and doesn’t necessitate hair bands, just a few hairpins. Follow these instructions:
1. Tease the roots of your hair and divide it into three segments.
2. Tease the middle segment from roots to tips, twirl it, and fasten it with hairpins at the base of your neck.
3. Take the left segment, twirl it, and secure it next to the middle segment.
4. Take the right segment, twirl it, cross it over the other two segments, and fasten it in place.
3Tuck and Roll Bun
Don’t be daunted by the fancy French term. Buns are actually quite simple to construct. There are numerous variations and techniques, but the following steps outline the quickest and easiest method:
1. Form a low ponytail using a hair tie that matches your hair color or a transparent one.
2. Generate a small opening at the base of the ponytail, creating a pocket-like space.
3. Insert all of your hair into this pocket, rolling it inward until there’s no hair left untucked. Don’t fret if it appears slightly disheveled.
4. Secure everything in place with hairpins and mist some hairspray to ensure it remains in position.
4Twisted chignon
This hairstyle is ideal for those hurried moments when you lack time for an intricate chignon. We are all aware that accomplishing a seemingly effortless chignon actually necessitates a significant amount of time, abundant quantities of hair product, and numerous hair clips to keep those stubborn strands in place. So, to conserve time and effort, why not attempt a twisted (faux) chignon?
- Assemble your hair into a high ponytail.
- Twist the ponytail and gently pull on the sections to create a larger, thicker, and more voluminous twist.
- Bring the twist forward and secure it around the top of the elastic, as if you’re attempting to conceal it.
- Pull the remaining twist backward and pin it to hide the bottom of the elastic.
- If you have any stray hair left, wrap it around the twisted chignon and fasten it with hair clips.
5Low Twisted Updo
This hairdo bears a resemblance to the previously mentioned chignon but is even simpler to accomplish. It is most suitable for individuals with delicate hair.
- If you desire some extra body, backcomb your hair at the roots.
- Collect your hair into a low ponytail.
- Generate a partition at the foundation of the ponytail and guide the remaining portion of the ponytail through it, forming a loop.
- Twist the ponytail upwards around your fingers and fasten it above the hairband using several bobby pins. If needed, apply some hairspray for a firmer hold.
By adhering to these straightforward procedures, you can easily produce five distinct hairdos that will assist you in liberating yourself from the uniformity and infuse a hint of panache into your appearance. Bear in mind, you don’t have to possess professional skills to accomplish these styles. With a bit of rehearsal and a few fundamental implements, you’ll have the capacity to revamp your hair and embrace a fresh essence of fashion.
