11. Fishtail Braid
A fishtail braid looks complicated, but it’s easier than it seems. Instead of three sections, you only use two. You just keep taking small pieces from the outside and crossing them over to the inside. It adds cool texture! Gently pulling the braid apart makes it look fuller and more relaxed.
10. High Ponytail with Wrapped Base
A high ponytail is a classic for a reason. It’s sleek and keeps your hair out of your face. To elevate it, take a small piece of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the elastic. Secure the end with a bobby pin underneath. It looks so clean and polished. Perfect for when you have a busy day.
9. Bubble Braids
If you like braids but want something different, try bubble braids! You just make sections with elastics down the length of your hair and puff them out a bit to create “bubbles.” It adds volume and is really fun. Using clear elastics makes them look seamless. It’s a playful alternative.
8. Twisted Half-Up
This is one of the quickest ways to pull your hair back. Just grab two sections from the front, twist them back, and pin them together. It looks effortless and pretty. You can use regular bobby pins or some decorative ones for a little sparkle. It’s simple but effective.
7. Side Braid
A simple side braid is a classic for a reason. It’s easy, keeps your hair out of your face, and works on almost any hair type. Just do a basic three-strand braid and pull it over your shoulder. You can tie it off with a cute ribbon or a regular elastic. It’s a reliable choice.
6. Pigtails
Pigtails are just plain cute! They’re easy and bring a fun, youthful vibe. You can wear them high or low, whatever you like. Adding colorful scrunchies makes them even more playful. It’s a simple look that always makes me smile.
5. Messy Bun
For that effortlessly cool look, a messy bun is your best friend. Don’t try too hard, just gather your hair loosely and twist it into a bun. A few flyaways are totally okay! It’s comfortable and perfect for a relaxed vibe. Pulling out a few strands around your face softens the look.
4. Braided Pigtails
Combine two classics by braiding your pigtails! It’s a fun look that keeps your hair neat all day. You can braid them tightly for a clean look or looser for a more relaxed feel. It adds a nice detail to regular pigtails. It’s super cute and practical.
3. Accessorized Waves
If you have natural waves (or add some with a curling iron), just add some accessories! A headband, some cute clips, or barrettes can totally change the look. It’s an easy way to elevate simple waves. Choose accessories that match your outfit for a coordinated look.
