Top 10 Easy-To-Make Everyday Hairstyles

1 2

A hairstyle or haircut refers to the styling of hair, usually on the human head. The fashioning of hair can be considered an aspect of personal grooming, fashion, and cosmetics, although practical, cultural, and popular considerations also influence some hairstyles. Hair styles depend on the face structure of the person and it is actually the fashion trend that motivates the youth. Here are a few trendy everyday hairstyles you can do.

 

1. Beach Hippie:

Follow the following easy steps:

Step 1 – Flip hair over and lightly put hairspray on underside. Flip upright and spray on the top. Finger-tousle as it dries.

Step 2 – Gather your bang-hair area and bobby-pin it out of the way so you can style the rest of your hair first.

Step 3 – Curl 1-inch sections away from your face. Start wrapping your hair around the iron at ear level not above. And leave your ends out of the curling iron.

Step 4 – Unpin the bang section and curl as you did the rest of your hair.

Step 5 – Insert spread fingers into hair at the back of your neck. Shake your hair to make the curls messy.

Step 6 – Now pin back a piece of hair on each side of your part. Messy hairs are actually good. Secure them together with a bobby pin and mist with shine spray.

 

2. Pin Curl Twist:

This is also an easy to follow style and these are the steps:

Step 1 – Brush out a 2-inch-wide bang section and secure back with two bobby pins. Loosen a bit with your fingers by tugging at the hairline.

Step 2 – Now you’re left with a section of hair over each ear. Run your index finger from behind your left ear up to the crown of your head. Smooth this section of hair into a low ponytail behind your left ear then twist the pony twice toward the back of your head. Secure the remaining tail with bobby pins, and then repeat on the right side. Connect the two twists with a bobby pin.

Step 3 – And that leaves the always fashionable “mullet” at the nape of your neck.

Step 4 – Hold your left index and middle finger under the bobby pins in Step 2, and roll a messy 1-inch section of hair up around your fingers to create a coil. Pinch it, slip it off your fingers and secure with a bobby pin. Don’t attach it to the twists in Step 2 or you’ll pull them out. Repeat with remaining hair until it’s all pinned up.

Step 5 – Mist with hairspray.

 

3. Side-swept Bun:

Easy to follow steps as explained:

Step 1 – Make a deep side part with a comb. Apply a bit of shine serum all over and comb through to tame flyaway.

Step 2 – Gather your hair into a low side pony behind the ear opposite your part. Secure with hair elastic.

Step 3 – Wrap the tail up toward your ear, then under the pony (into a bun), leaving the ends free.

Step 4 – Pierce the bun with your hair stick, making sure to thread one end of the stick through the elastic before letting it pop out the other side. This holds the bun in place.

 

4. Hello, Sailor:

The following are the steps to get this hairstyle done:

Step 1 – Make a side part. Starting with the bigger side, gather front section from the ear to your part and smooth it so the hairline is bump-free. Then twist several times upward toward your part. (See inset photo No.1.)

Step 2 – Secure the hair along the line of the twist with several bobby pins. At the end of the twist, criss-cross bobby pins to anchor the twist in place. Repeat on the smaller side.

Step 3 – Divide the hanging hair in back into 1-inch sections and wrap around a curling iron. Hold the barrel vertically to create a spiral.

Step 4 – Once all sections are curled, mist with hairspray and shake your hair gently to loosen the curls.

 

5. High-volume Pony:

Following are the steps to get this done:

Step 1 – Divide hair from ear to ear over the top of your head. Clip that front section out of the way.

Step 2 – At the crown of your head, take a two-inch section of the remaining hair and tease the area near your scalp to create the bouffant behind the headband. Messy is fine; we’re about to cover it up anyway.

Step 3 – Un -clip the front section and smooth it back over the teased area, gathering all your hair into a low pony. Reserve a one-inch section of your longest hair and secure the rest with elastic.

Step 4 – Wrap the reserved hair around the hair elastic and secure underneath with a bobby pin.

Step 5 – Slip on a headband.

Top 10 Natural Hair Care Tips

1 2

Similar to the structure of scales on a fish’s body, the structure of our hair has scales overlapping each other around the cortical, which is the core of the structure of the hair. To preserve the quality of hair natural hair care is very important. A good diet and a healthy lifestyle is the key to healthy hair.

In today’s time all kinds of styling products are used, like hair iron, hair creams and gels and permanent hair curling and straitening. These products severally damage the hair and can be corrected only with natural hair care. Following are the tips to get beautiful hair naturally.

 

1. Healthy diet

Vitamins and minerals are very important for healthy hair. Biotin, Vitamin B, C, E and MSM help in hair growth and condition hair deeply. For the required amounts of minerals one should have wheat germ and whole grain in their diet as it provides zinc, iron and copper. Skimmed milk, banana, yogurt and honey should be had to prevent hair fall. The important Vitamins to keep hair healthy can reach the body by eating cereals, green vegetables and tomatoes.

 

2. Avoid chemical shampoos

Sodium laurel or laureth sulphate are synthetic detergents or chemicals which lather well and thus are used in dishwashing and liquid cleaners. They are basically used in shampoos because they make a thick lather but can suck out all the moisture from the hair as they are very harsh. Direct application of shampoo to the scalp should be avoided. One should choose a shampoo depending upon the type of hair one has. There are many natural hair washes like Shikakai or a paste of black gram dal mixed with fenugreek powder.

 

3. Hot oil treatment

Oiling the hair once a week is very important and if it is a hot oil rub it is even better. Hot oil treatment means just warming the oil one uses and applying it to one’s head in the same way as one normally does. The benefit of warming oil is that it easily penetrates into the scalp and leaves hair shinier and more flexible. It prevents the dryness of the hair, thus preventing split ends which are results of dry hair.

 

4. Hair packs

To make one’s hair strong, healthy, voluminous and silky packs must be regularly used. The process of rejuvenation and revitalization of hair can be carried out by applying a hair pack or mask. Hair packs can easily be made at home and with very simple materials which are generally available at home. Natural hair packs are made according to one’s hair type and so one needs to identify with the type of hair one has and choose a hair pack accordingly.

 

5. Natural conditioning

It is important to naturally condition one’s hair once a week. Beer is a very good conditioner of hair; it deeply nourishes hair and keeps hair shiny. Other very good conditioners for the hair are egg white and curd.

Top 10 Bizarre Hairstyles

1 2

We all have fun experimenting with our hair but there are some people who take things too far and end up looking like extraterrestrial beings- and not in a good way.

 

1. Mullet

This one is pretty sober when compared to the rest on this list and has been associated with those who belong to the lower strata of the society. However, it was quite popular during the 80s and if you are deranged enough to try it out, have your hair cut very short in the front and leave it long from the back.

 

2. Liberty Spikes

Those who want to embarrass their friends and family members tend to go for this hairstyle. All you need to do is take some extra-durable gel and slap it all over your hair. Next, pull up different sections and mold them in such a way that they are thick at the base and point at the top.

 

3. Mohawk

This remarkably bizarre hairstyle is also known as the mowie or Mohican and was popular during the 80s as well. Those who want this hairstyle should first shave off their heads but not completely- they must leave out a section in the middle which will then be spiked up or gelled. The best part is that it is usually held up with hairspray and streaked with neon hair color.

 

4. Rat-tail

This hairstyle will make you look as though you are raising a tiny lizard at the back of your neck. It basically involves a long section of the hair to be left long at the nape of the neck. This was very popular in the 80s and people would braid or perm this long section.

5. Hi-top Fade

The Hi-top Fade made the individual look as though his head was a pencil and the hair, the pencil eraser. Those who had it would first shave most of their hair off and puff it up at the top.
