Straight and sleek

We’re here to debunk the myth that short hair is just limited to “lugay.” In fact, a bob even a pixie can be your playground. All you need to do is to straighten your bob with a hair iron and polish your look with some hairspray on the crown.

Ponytail

It can’t get much easier than a ponytail. What can be easier for long hair than a cute ponytail? Ponytail hairstyles are not only for the gym. You can style a classy side ponytail or a chic high ponytail for a formal event or a night out with friends.

Braid-Out

Defined curls can also be achieved with a braid-out if that’s what you prefer. You can do the same process as the twist-out, but instead, section your hair off into three-strand braids. This can give varying results based on the size of the braids and your natural texture, but is consistently a strong way to bring out the best in your voluminous curls.

Messy Bun

What’s better than a regular bun? A messy one, of course. It should take less than a minute to do and maybe another minute if you like to style your baby hairs. For this hairstyle, you will have most of your hair down. As for the braids, this is the best part. Your braids will be at the front of your head in a diagonal line leading up to your double buns. This is such a trendy look for anyone who wants to try a bohemian hairstyle.

A scarf style for all your curly tresses needs

Curly hair can be quite challenging to work around, especially in terms of maintenance. Although they do give out a gorgeous wild personality, they can be pretty tough to tame. However, a simply scarf tied in varied ways can be quite the solution your hair has been seeking! With a scarf, you can tie a turban by covering all the hair, you could go for a low bun, tie up your tresses in a top knot with the scarf or tame it down to a top bun. Whatever you do, a head wrap or a scarf would be the perfect accessory and a hair hack to use.
