Struggling for ideas for exciting going out hair dos, here are some simple but effective looks for you that can be created by you at home.
For a glamorous polished look on longer locks, the sleek is lovely. Created simply by placing your hair in a side parting. Curl sections of your hair using a wand or a tong, wrap hair around and hold for a few seconds. Gently run a paddle brush through the curls leaving a fuller, looser wave. Finish the hair with a glossy product to give your waves that sexy sheen. Tuck the one side of the hair behind your ear and sweep the rest over your shoulder. Finish with a hair spray and smooth over the side tucked behind your ear.
For shorter hair styles the beehive can be really effective. Prep hair with a dry shampoo on the root area to help add volume. Backcomb around the crown area, then start to work from each side moving forwards. Leave as much as you like at the front to smooth over the volume you have created. Bring the hair back towards the middle. Pin and secure pieces of length you have left at the back of the head. Use hairspray to finish. Voilà, a Bardot Beehive!
An old favourite for reducing your going out prep time, the high pony! Whether it be smooth and sleek for straight hair or a messy funky take the pony, the look can be really effective. Simply smooth your hair above the crown and secure with a band. Bits of hair around the ears can be teased out for more of a boho look. Finish with a smoothing serum or a texturizing spray. Remember the higher the ponytail the closer to heaven….
