I thought this post would be really helpful when your stuck for ideas on what to do with your hair for school! These are simple, stylish and cute hairstyles that will definitely get you some compliments!
Side - swept messy/casual braid
This hairstyle is perfect for those mornings were your rushing and just need to put your hair up but still look cute. It is very simple and everyone will be able to accomplish this look!
1. Sweep all hair to one side (right or left, you can choose!)
2. Start braiding (plaiting) your hair loosely
3. Tie it off at the end of the braid
4. If you choose, you can slightly pull the braid apart, giving it a more thicker look. You may also choose to pull some hair out and mess it up a bit, to fully achieve the messy/casual look!
Slick back high ponytail
This hair style is very simple, stylish and sharp. It is a great way to get your hair out of your face but still look very sharp and stylish. Whether you have short, long, thick, curly, thin or wavy hair, you can all accomplish this slick look!
1. Brush hair to eliminate any knots or tangles and so it will be smooth and easy to work with
2. Gather hair into a pony tail. Line it up so it is in line with your head
3. Tie it off with a hair band
4. Spray some hairspray to slick back any fly-aways
5. Brush out pony tail. You have successfully achieved the 'high ponytail' look!
Messy bun
This hairstyle is probably one of the most popular up-do's at the moment. It looks cute, it's super easy and quick and it gets your hair up and out of your face!
1. Gather all of your hair into a pony tail in line with your head. If there are any bumps, leave them, it adds to the 'messy' look!
2. Twist your hair around until you get a bun
3. You can choose to either secure the bun with some pins or get a stretchy hair elastic and tie it around the bun. If you choose to go with the hair elastic, you might need to be 2, even 3 elastics in your hair to properly secure the bun.
4. You can pull out some hair to add to the 'messy' look. You may choose to add a bow to your bun, I personally love adding bows, they make everything better!
This hairstyle is very simple and great for school! You can make this casual or formal, whatever you choose!
Waterfall Braid
This hairstyle definitely requires a decent amount of experience and skill with braiding. You might need some help doing this style, as it can get very difficult and awkward trying to braid the back of your hair!
1. Brush out hair to eliminate any tangles or knots.
2. Pick a small piece for one side of your head (left or right, you can choose!)
3. Plait it about 2 times to get started
4. Pick up hair from the top of your head and add it into the braid. Do not get hair from the bottom.
5. After you have picked up some hair from the top, braid until that strand goes to the bottom, then divide into 2 and let the outer strand fall. You don't have to worry about that
6. Continue this step until you reach the length you want
7. When you finish waterfall braiding, continue a normal braid and tie off. You can add a bow or ribbon to give the hairstyle a cuter look!
