Enchanting Side Braids with Ribbons
Imagine a hairstyle that combines the charm of youth with a chic modern twist.

This hairstyle is particularly flattering for women with oval or heart-shaped faces. The side parting and loose braids soften angular features and highlight the cheekbones. However, if you have very fine hair, you might find it challenging to maintain the braid’s structure throughout the day.
To keep your braids looking pristine and prevent flyaways, I recommend using a smoothing serum or a light hold hairspray. A product like the John Frieda Frizz Ease Serum can work wonders in humid conditions.
Step out in style with these charming braids at your next social gathering, and don’t forget to customize with ribbons matching your outfit to truly make the hairstyle your own!

This updo is a great choice for anyone looking to draw attention to their neck and shoulders. It works best on thicker hair types, which help in creating a fuller, more luxurious bun. Those with very curly hair might need extra styling time to smooth out their locks before styling.
Secure your updo with strong hold bobby pins and finish with a spray like L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold Hairspray. To add shine and ensure your hairpiece stays put, a little hairspray goes a long way.
With this hairstyle, you’re not just prepared for an event; you’re making a statement. Pair it with a bold lip color and a classic evening gown to complete the look.
Chic High Ponytail
Who says ponytails are just for the gym? This high ponytail, seen here with a bouffant lift at the crown, transforms a simple style into something special, suitable for both a day at the office or a casual lunch with friends.

It’s ideal for women with round or square faces as it elongates the face and highlights the jawline. This style can be a bit tricky for those with very short layers as they may struggle to keep their hair in the ponytail.
Boost your ponytail’s volume and texture with a volumizing mousse like the Dove Style+Care Volume Amplifier Mousse. Ensure your hair stays sleek by using a paddle brush for a smooth finish.
Why not add some flair to your high ponytail with decorative hair ties or clips? It’s a simple way to personalize an otherwise straightforward look.
Playful Pastel Top Knot
Dive into the playful side of summer with this enchanting top knot in a pastel pink hue. This hairstyle is not just fun but also incredibly practical for the hottest days, keeping you cool while ensuring you look absolutely adorable.

This top knot is perfect for those with medium to thick hair, allowing for a full, voluminous bun. It’s particularly flattering for women with round and square faces as it draws the eye upwards, elongating the face.
To achieve this look, use a texturizing spray like the Bumble and bumble Thickening Spray before pulling your hair up to ensure it holds well throughout the day or night.
Embrace the vibrancy of summer with a color that pops! This hairstyle is perfect for music festivals, beach outings, or just when you want to add a splash of fun to your day.

Keep your twisted updo sleek and shiny with a light application of glistening hair oil like Moroccanoil Treatment Light, ensuring your locks catch the light beautifully.
Whether you’re attending a wedding or a formal dinner, this updo will ensure you stand out in the best way possible, with elegance at the forefront.

A light hairspray, like TIGI Bed Head Hard Head Hairspray, can help maintain the shape without sacrificing the bounciness of your buns.

Use a smoothing brush and a strong-hold gel like Schwarzkopf Got2b Ultra Glued Invincible Styling Gel to achieve that polished, flyaway-free finish.
