Three Quick & Easy Hairstyles

An Extended Ponytail -

This look is so easy to do and can be done in a few quick and easy steps. It's ideal for anyone who wants longer hair but doesn't want to fuss around with extensions. To begin, you will need to section your hair into two parts - a top and bottom layer. Then, place the top layer into a ponytail. To make this look more natural, you could backcomb the top to add more volume. Now that your bottom layer is down, try an pull all of the hair together, directly underneath the top one, and create another ponytail. To disguise it, simply ruffle up the ends to create a 'layered' look. This look would also look good with curled ends of wavy hair. You could also use hairspray to make sure that everything stays in place. This should take around 10 minutes.

Straight - 
For some people, this hairstyle will be so easy as it's the way your hair falls naturally. However, my natural hair is literally a frizz-bomb. It's so hard to actually style it and if I try to on the same day as I've washed it, it just doesn't work. So, the night/day before, I was my hair and leave it to dry naturally; I constantly brush my hair to try and get is as straight as possible while it's damp. Then, the day after, I use the Platinum GHDs to straight my hair and it takes around 20 minutes to do so. If any of you are conscious about heat/ damage to your hair then I recommend using the TRESemmé Heat Defence Styling Spray. You apply this before you use any heat on your hair. e.g. blowdrying, straightening or curling.

Wind-Swept Waves -
Again, depending on your natural hairstyle, there may be a few extra steps to follow. If your hair is straight, I recommend applying a mousse before styling. To style, I'd use a pair of straighteners. This look depends on how you want your hair to look and how long your hair actually is. As I only have short-medium length hair, the waves go quite high up. Whenever I'm styling hair, I always take the hot object away from my face. This gives a better result as it opens your face and looks so much better than the waves going into your face. If your hair is naturally curly/ wavy, try to straighten your hair then apply the method of waving. Once you get the hang of the concept, it's really easy. This should take between 10-20 minutes.
