Instead of just tying your hair back in an elastic, consider finishing the look by pulling the rest of your hair section into a bun towards the back of your head.
Once you finish your braid, it’ll look like a headband holding your hair back. If you have a middle part, create thin braids on either side of your part going down the front of your face.
Tie the waterfall braid off with a hair elastic to keep it in place. As you braid your hair going along the side of your head, keep gathering new sections of hair and adding them to the braid.
If one of your buns is sticking up more than the other, pin the hair down using a bobby pin to fix your look.
This is a great style for when you’re on-the-go and need a quick fix.
Twisting the section of hair on top of your head will help create the pouf. Smooth out the clump with your hands or a brush before twisting it so it doesn’t have any bumps.
Add a barrette for a more decorative look if you’d like. Use as many bobby pins as you need to make sure the hair won’t come out and get in your eyes.
If you have a center part, twist both sections of hair on either side of the part instead of just one.
Pull a section of hair to the side of your face wherever you’d like it positioned on your head and use the clip to secure it. Make sure you have the teeth secured as close to the scalp as possible to prevent drooping and slipping. If needed, spray your hair and the clip with some dry shampoo spray to add a bit of “grip” and prevent the clip from slipping.
Plastic or metal headbands are good for keeping the short hairs out of your face, while a cloth or elastic headband is great for covering up sections of your hair.
Both styles are great for keeping short hairs out of your face and will add a fun aspect to your look.
Use the ends of the scarf to create the knot or bow.
Look for a hair gel at your local big box store, beauty store, or online.
