13. Messy Bun with Face-Framing Pieces
Ah, the messy bun. A true classic! It looks effortless because, well, it is. Pulling out a few strands in the front softens the look and adds a touch of romance. It’s perfect for those days you want to look put-together but feel relaxed.
Tip: Don’t try too hard to make it perfect. The messier, the better!
12. High Ponytail with a Twist
A high ponytail is great for active days. To make it a little more interesting, I like to take a small piece of hair from underneath the ponytail and wrap it around the elastic. It hides the band and looks more polished.
Tip: Use a dab of serum to smooth down any flyaways at your hairline.
11. The Beachy Waves
Nothing says summer like beachy waves! You don’t need to live by the ocean to get this look. A sea salt spray is your best friend here. It gives you that textured, lived-in feel that’s perfect for warm weather.
Tip: Braid damp hair before bed for heatless waves in the morning.
10. Sleek Back Ponytail
When I want to feel polished and cool, I go for a sleek back ponytail. It’s simple but makes a statement. Use a comb and some gel or pomade to get that smooth finish. It’s great for evenings out or when you need to look sharp.
Tip: Tie it tightly at the crown for a lifted look.
9. Bubble Ponytail
This style is so playful and fun! You create sections down the ponytail and secure them with elastics, pulling each section out a bit to create a “bubble.” It adds volume and is a cute twist on a regular ponytail.
Tip: Use clear elastics for a seamless look.
8. Space Buns
Space buns are perfect for hot festival days or just when you want a fun, youthful vibe. Divide your hair down the middle and create two buns on top of your head. They keep all your hair off your neck and shoulders.
