We’ve compiled a list of top tips that will help you achieve stunning curly-haired looks in minutes.
No longer will you be tempted to ‘ponytail-up’ or tie your hair back into a messy bun, but instead embrace the freedom that comes with enviable tresses.
1. Take Your Time
The first thing you need to do is take a moment before getting ready in the morning, and determine what kind of day you’re going to have and the kind of look that would best suit it.
Especially if you’re looking for a more low-key style, or are going to be spending all day at home, go with something that’s comfortable and easy. If you’re heading out with friends and want some attention, consider a more extravagant style—like a topknot braid or even a side ponytail would be perfect.
If you choose not to wash your hair in the morning there are many reasons why. If your hair is already semi-straight then it can just remain straight for an entire day. Or you could consider something simple, like plaiting it into two braids with a knot on the back of your head.
If you want to try one of the more stylish messy styles, get ready and style your hair first thing in the morning before leaving the house.
2. Take It On The Road
If you’re looking for a chic new look then a ponytail hairstyle is ideal for traveling. Consider using a simple braid or an updo for an extra touch—the possibilities are endless!
3. Wear It In A Side Ponytail
If you’re going to be working through the day, you’ll need to wear your hair loose so that it can be tucked away whenever possible . But if you can’t manage to tuck your hair away then try wearing it in a casual side ponytail.
4. A Glossy Finish
Gels can be used to create different styles, and when used on dry hair they give it a glossy finish—perfect for girls who love themselves some shine!
5. Get It Blow-Dried On Day Two
If you want a sleek look take care when going out in the morning that you go and get your hair blow-dried on day two for an extra touch of shine. The big curls will come out much more shiny and defined than if you’d done it on the first day without too much product.
6. They’re Easy To Contour…
Don’t be scared to try a few different styles. Go with a topknot braid if you want something a little more sophisticated, and then get it blown-dry again later on in the day for an easy low-maintenance look.
7. …but Very Messy
Fast-growing hair can be hard to manage and for girls who love high maintenance styles it’s no different. Luckily, take your time when styling your hair and leave it until later in the day because when hair is wet, you can use almost any style you want!
8. A Ponytail By Any Other Name
A topknot braid is great for rounded hairstyles, but it can also be used to create a low-maintenance ponytail. Simply pull your hair in a slight ponytail and secure the side of your head so that the rest of your hair cascades down.
9. A Sexy, Sleek Pulled Back Look
When styling on a lazy Sunday morning it’s best to consider something effortless and cute but slightly more grown-up than you would normally wear—this means a pulled back ponytail or even an updo will be perfect!
10. A Tied Topknot Will Keep You Cool
A tie-front hairstyle will actually help keep your hair shiny in the summer and this is perfect for those with naturally frizzy or very straight hair. Rather than tying it up into a messy bun, you can get the same effect by loosely wrapping your ponytail around your head and securing at the nape of your neck.
11. A Buttery Glossy Look
Create a glossy look to make your hair look naturally glossy with just some gel, a brush, and some hairspray.
12. Create A Beautiful Up-Do
When considering updos, always think about the occasion and then choose a style that’s for you. Sometimes you can create a high ponytail or an updo with just your fingers, but for an ideal look try to get help from someone with some more experience.
13. A Side Ponytail With A Bow
A bow can be used to accent any kind of hairstyle, and when worn on top of a side ponytail it gives it a nice touch of femininity.
14. Long Shiny Tips
Apply some shine spray to the tips of your hair and it will make it look even longer than it is and give it a glamorous sheen.
15. Create A Sleek And Straight Look
If you want a sleek look, use a flat iron to smooth out your ends and add in some definition—this is perfect for any kind of straight hair!
