CrystalA good hairstyle can make you look stylish and put together, whether you’re going to the office or a party. But sometimes your hair can be curling out of shape, frizzy, stringy, or just plain old boring. That’s why we’ve compiled this list with the best hairstyles that you can do at home on your own time. From buns to braids and chic updos that take minutes to put in place, these are some of the most beautiful looks around.
The French Braid
This classic look has been popular since the 1930s, and it has stood the test of time because it’s just so easy to do. French braids are great for hair of any length or thickness, but they work best with long hair. You can use any type of hair accessory with a French braid, and it doesn’t have to be limited to the crisscross look.
The Messy Bun
Most people don’t expect to need access to a brush in order to put their hair up. This is an easy hairstyle that can be done quickly, and it only needs two things: a rubber band and a little patience. The messy bun works especially well if you want some protection from the cold weather but want a low-maintenance look.
The Top Knot
The top knot has been around for hundreds of years and is one of the oldest updos. You can make any type of top knot, but you’ll need to tie it in a way that doesn’t leave your hair looking too messy or disheveled. This look can also be used as an updo when you’re wearing a piece hairstyle like curly or wavy hair. When tied with long hair, the top knot works perfectly for a romantic night out with your mom or sister in tow.
The Braid Bun
Braiding your hair can be a simple way to make it look more elegant when you’re going out, and you can twist it into a braided bun. Other simple styles that work well include the low or high ponytail. It all depends on how you want your hair to look and how much time you want to spend styling before becoming a social butterfly. Just remember, with these styles and many others, it’s okay to be daring.
