My 4 Favourite Everyday Hairstyles

1. Half Up, Half Down
This is one of my favourite looks because it's just so versatile. It looks great straight, wavy, curly and natural. You can also put the "half up" section in a ponytail, braid or bun. AND, you can add as many accessories as you want to make it as formal or informal as you want.
Personally, I like wearing this hairstyle with my hair either natural or wavy or a school day with the "half up" section in a ponytail or bun because it just keeps it out of my face whilst still having that "it took me a long time" look. 

2. Top Knot
I love wearing this hairstyle when it's a really hot say because it completely gets all of my hair off my neck. 
I have found that sometimes, the bun just hasn't got volume so it doesn't really have any shape to it which looks terrible. So, what I like to do is:
1. Flip my head upsidedown and put it in a high ponytail.
2. Loosen the ponytail a bit and pull out my baby hairs at the side.
3. Tease the ponytail so it's a big puffball.
4. Finally, form the bun and pin it down.

3. The Hair Bow Made Out of Hair

For those slightly more adventurous days, I love wearing this hairstyle when I have the patience to do it in the morning. It's not that difficult to do once you get the hang of it; it's just the practicing that takes time.
I feel like if I explain how to do it in writing, it's not going to clear enough so I may make a YouTube video if somebody wants to learn.

4. Au Naturale

Some mornings, particularly living in England, I look outside my window at the awful weather and think to myself "no hairstyle is going to stay how I want it to, so why try?". 
I think that embracing however your hair falls naturally is a great habit to get into because it defines you. If it's corkscrew curly, pin straight, or anywhere in between, enjoy it because it really does look great on you. 

-Love, M.
