1. Join the trend of wearing real or fake bangs

Whether natural or fake, bangs will quickly change the expression of your face, stylizing it and giving it a much younger appearance. Whether you want to wear your hair down or up, bangs are an element that adapts perfectly to your style and if you have to go to an event, our trick is to go for a hairstyle with loose and wavy hair, this way you will get a very natural and sophisticated result.

2. Make a simple updo and you will succeed with the classic low ponytail

Is there anything simpler than a low ponytail? It takes very little time to do and is perfect for a special occasion or your everyday life. The great advantage is that if you do it with a messy touch, it will give you a natural and youthful look. To make it look perfectly “imperfect,” we recommend that you comb the part of your head that is up and not comb the ponytail part, but instead, use your fingers to gather the hair and then comb it out.

3. Comb your hair back with a wet look

This hairstyle is the quickest and easiest to do. It’s all about keeping your hair wet and making it look like you just got out of the shower and combed all your hair back. Natural and leaving your face clear. Our advice is that, to achieve a perfect finish, keep your hair looking wet on top using a setting product, and leave a dry mane below, so you can play with both textures. It’s a sure hit for events because it will give your hair a sophisticated look without taking up much time.

4. Add accessories to your hair: bows, flowers, headbands, hairpins and you will succeed

Flower headbands and updos along with hair accessories are timeless accessories that always work. Our trick is to place them adorning a loose low bun and take out several strands to give your hair a more country look. You’ll look great.

5. Cheat a little with your hair, pretend to have it short for a day

The “fake bob” consists of hiding all your hair in a low bun and thus giving the impression of having a midi mane. It is a very feminine hairstyle and the best thing is that it is a trick to change the length of your hair without having to resort to cutting it. A new “fleeting” hairstyle. However, to achieve the best effect, we recommend that you do it when your hair reaches at least shoulder length. You will love the result.

6. Braids will give a romantic touch to your look

Braids are a safe bet and their great advantage is that you can easily turn them into a sophisticated bun. How? Make two braids symmetrically on each side of your hair and then join them into a bun at the back with the help of hairpins. We recommend that, for them to be symmetrical, you have nourished hair. This way you can play with the volume of the braids, giving a more chic touch to your updo.

7. Scarves will be your best allies in summer

Plain or patterned, thin or wide, they are all good for decorating our hair. You can tie them in your ponytail, wrap them around a bun, use them as a headband, or even tie them up to get an ethnic touch. They are foolproof!
