Long Hair
One of the best hairstyles for long hair is the ponytail. This versatile style is suitable for both formal and casual occasions, offering practicality by keeping the hair away from the face and lasting throughout the day. Here’s how to style a ponytail:
- Styling Tools:
- Hairbrush.
- Fine-toothed comb.
- Hair tie.
- Hair spray.
- Styling Steps:
- Begin by thoroughly brushing the hair from the ends to the roots with a brush to eliminate tangles and achieve smoothness.
- Decide on the height and direction of the ponytail; it can be styled high, low, or towards either side, or centered.
- If opting for an elevated ponytail, flip your head upside down and gather all the hair using a fine-toothed comb.
- Secure the hair tightly with a hair tie.
- Lightly spritz some hair spray over the entire ponytail.
- Note: Consider adding curls or a braid for a more elaborate ponytail look.
Short Hair
For short hair, a side braid can be an excellent styling choice. Here’s how to create that style:
- Styling Tools:
- Bobby pins or hair clips.
- Hair ties.
- Comb.
- Styling Steps:
- Gently comb the hair to remove any tangles.
- Gather the hair back into a tie, leaving a portion in the front free.
- Begin braiding the front section using a Dutch braid technique and secure it with a small hair tie at the end.
- Pull apart the braid gently to give it a fuller appearance.
- Secure the braid to the side of your head using bobby pins.
Medium Hair
Medium-length hair can be styled in various ways, including the classic bow hairstyle, which is suitable for both adults and children. Here’s how to achieve this look:
- Styling Tools:
- Hair comb.
- Hair ties.
- Hairpin.
- Styling Steps:
- Carefully comb through the hair to remove any knots and tangles.
- Gather the hair from all sides toward the center and secure with a hair elastic, leaving some elasticity in the tie to wrap the hair around it later.
- Wrap the hair around the elastic without pulling it free, ensuring you stop pulling the strands outward from the tie.
- Divide the hair that extends from the tie into two equal parts, directing each towards the sides of the head to create a bow shape.
- Lift the remaining hair ends and wrap them around the joining area of the bow, securing with a hairpin.
