1. Sleek Low Ponytail
This timeless classic is perfect for office days, formal events, or when you just want to feel polished.
A sleek low ponytail keeps hair away from your face while highlighting cheekbones. With a shine serum and a good brush, it’s a go-to for any hair type. Add a part in the center or go side-swept for subtle variation. Pro tip: wrap a strand around the base to hide the elastic — instant chic!
2. Messy Bun with Volume
Perfect for casual days or those “didn’t-wash-my-hair” moments, the messy bun is stylish and practical.
Tease your roots for extra volume before tying your hair into a high or mid bun. Don’t worry about perfection—loose strands make it effortless. Finish with texture spray to keep it lifted and full.
3. Classic French Braid
Elegant and versatile, the French braid is a staple for a reason.
It keeps hair neat while adding texture and dimension. It works for most hair lengths and can be worn to the side for a twist. Bonus: it transitions well into wavy hair if you undo it the next morning!
4. High Top Knot
The high top knot is the go-to hairstyle when you want an instant facelift.
Pull your hair upward, twist tightly, and pin or tie into a bun. Smooth any flyaways with gel or hairspray. It’s fashionable, clean, and elongates the neck.
5. Waterfall Braid
Romantic and whimsical, this braid adds a soft touch to your overall look.
It’s perfect for date nights or spring outings. Weave sections to let some strands “fall” like a waterfall. Pair it with curls or waves for full effect.
6. Low Chignon
Understated and graceful, the chignon is an ideal choice for formal events or weddings.
Gather your hair at the nape and twist into a bun, securing with pins. Add pearl pins or a floral clip for elegance. Use a light mist to set it in place.
7. Space Buns
These quirky double buns bring fun, retro vibes.
Part your hair down the middle, twist into two high buns, and secure. Add glitter roots or temporary color for extra edge. It’s a great choice for concerts or festivals.
8. Twisted Crown
Feel like royalty with this boho-inspired style.
Twist two sections from the front and pin them across your head like a halo. Add flowers or pins to complete the look. Ideal for spring photoshoots or brunch dates.
9. Beach Waves
Loose, lived-in waves that scream effortless beauty.
Use a flat iron or curling wand, alternating direction for each curl. Scrunch with sea salt spray for a natural finish. It’s the ultimate summer vibe.
10. Dutch Braids
Edgy and bold, Dutch braids sit on top of your hair rather than inside.
Create two plaits on each side of a center part. Secure with clear elastics. They’re athletic yet stylish—perfect for workouts or active days.
11. Side Swept Curls
Soft and glamorous, this style is red carpet-ready.
Curl your hair, then sweep it all to one side. Use a barrette or pin to hold it in place. This is a great style for evening events.
12. Fishtail Braid
Intricate-looking but surprisingly simple once you get the hang of it.
Separate hair into two parts and alternate small sections over each other. The tighter the braid, the more detailed it looks. Loosen it up for a boho finish.
13. Bubble Ponytail
Fun and playful, this look adds personality to a standard ponytail.
Tie hair into a high or mid ponytail. Place small elastics every few inches down the length and puff out each section for volume. It’s quick, easy, and trendy.
14. Pinned Back Waves
Half-up styles like this give the best of both worlds.
Curl your hair loosely, then pin back two small sections from the front. Add a decorative clip or barrette to elevate the look. Casual yet put together.
15. Half-Up Bun (Hun)
Trendy, comfy, and suitable for nearly all hair types.
Pull the top half of your hair into a bun while leaving the rest loose. It keeps hair off your face and gives you a relaxed but stylish vibe.
16. Slicked Back Look
This sleek style exudes confidence and edge.
Comb back damp hair with a bit of gel for a wet look. Use a fine-tooth comb for clean lines. It’s bold, modern, and pairs well with dramatic makeup.
17. Braided Headband
A practical and pretty way to keep hair away from your face.
Braid a section from near your ear and pin it across your crown. It doubles as a headband and adds detail to loose styles.
18. Voluminous Blowout
Big, bouncy hair that screams confidence.
Use a round brush and blow dryer to lift roots and smooth ends. Add dry shampoo at the crown for extra volume. It’s ideal for when you want to impress.
19. Faux Hawk Braid
This rocker-chic look is for those craving something different.
Braid the middle section of your hair, leaving the sides slicked or pinned. It’s bold, dramatic, and fun.
20. Pin Curls
Throwback style from the ’40s that’s still gorgeous today.
Set your hair in curls using pins and setting lotion, then release for structured waves. This look works best on short to medium-length hair.
21. Straight and Sleek
Minimalist, clean, and classy.
Use a flat iron for a smooth finish. Add shine serum and keep flyaways down with a brush or light hairspray. It’s universally flattering.
22. Half-Up Twists
An elegant twist (literally) to the usual half-up.
Twist two front sections back and secure with pins. It’s simple, graceful, and works well for casual or formal occasions.
23. Curly Puff (for natural hair)
Celebrate volume and curl with this quick and chic style.
Gather your curls into a high puff with a headband. Define edges with gel or cream. Add accessories for flair.
24. Side Braid
Relaxed and pretty, a side braid is perfect for any day.
Sweep your hair to one side and braid loosely. Let some strands fall around your face. Use a scrunchie for a cute touch.
25. Braided Ponytail
Level up a basic ponytail with a single braid.
You can braid a section and wrap it around the base, or run the braid through the length of the ponytail. It’s sporty and stylish.
26. Pompadour
A bold, vintage-inspired look that adds height and drama.
Backcomb the front section of your hair, smooth it over, and pin. Keep the rest slicked back or in an updo.
27. Layered Lob (Style It!)
The lob is incredibly versatile — straight, curled, or tousled.
Use a texturizing spray to define the layers. Add waves for softness or flat iron for edge. It’s a fresh take on the bob.
28. Twisted Side Bun
Perfect for romantic evenings or weddings.
Twist your hair to one side and pin into a low bun. Use soft curls beforehand for texture. Add decorative pins or flowers.
29. Afro Puff
Bold, natural, and full of life.
Pick out your curls into a round puff and secure with a band. It showcases natural hair texture and radiates confidence.
30. Finger Waves
Retro glamour that’s making a huge comeback.
Use a comb and setting lotion to sculpt “S” shaped waves on damp hair. Let it dry and finish with gloss. This works especially well on shorter hair.
