Temperatures are dropping, but that doesn’t mean your hair should drop the ball as well. There’s no time like fall time to spruce up your hair and try a new look. If you’re struggling with exactly how to adapt your current hairdo, here are some easy hairstyles that’ll help you give you inspiration:
Try A Center Part
Center parts, more commonly known as middle parts, are bold and strong. They make you look sophisticated and they can help transform even the dullest look. If you watched the Oscars this year, you probably saw a ton of middle parts. That’s because they’re so versatile. You can part your hair this way if it’s thin, thick, wavy, straight, long or short. It doesn’t matter! If you’ve been wearing a side part most of your life, try parting your hair in the middle for a different look.
Flip Up The Ends Of Your Hair
Do you have short hair? Or, are you thinking about cutting your hair? Instead of just keeping your hair short and straight, flip up the ends of your hair ever so slightly. You can use a flat iron or you can use a blow dryer and hair brush to create this easy-going look. Yes, I know this style might seem a little retro but 2018 could use a little retro, don’t you think?
Make It Super, Super Sleek
Not just sleek, SUPER sleek. A lot of people think the only time they can wear a sleek hairdo is if they’re rocking a ponytail. But, a sleek hairstyle works for any look. Whether your hair is tied up or down. You can even use bobby pins to pin back some of your hair to help better frame your face.
Add Length To Your Pixie
The short pixie cut is SO little last year. Now, instead of cutting off all your hair to look trendy you can keep your hair long-ish with a textured pixie cut. Not only does this look add volume to your hair, but because of the texture, you can accessorize a touch more easily. If your hair is curly, keep the look voluminous. But if your hair is naturally straight, consider a deep side part so your side bang can really steal the show.
Experiment With Buns
There’s nothing wrong with a top knot or a messy bun, but there are so many different bun styles out there. Don’t be afraid to mix it up a little! Instead of a low bun, rock a low, flat twisted bun. Instead of a top knot, pull all your hair up into a high donut bun. All I’m saying is if you’re going to wear a casual bun, at least make sure it looks chic.
Add Some Pops Of Color
Color is a great way to add a little flair to your hair, but you don’t have to go crazy with it if you don’t want to. Since it’s getting cooler outside, you’ll want your hair to be darker as opposed to lighter. Opt for darker highlights or even an ombre style to help you prepare for the winter. Have you ever considered adding some pink to your locs? Do it! Just make sure instead of highlighting your hair with bright pink you choose a darker pink hue instead.
Cut Your Hair In An Angular Bob
Now that summer is over it’s time to move on from the perfectly straight bob and adopt a more unruly, angular bob. What’s so great about this style is that if your hair is naturally curly, you can simply keep it like that and cut off a few inches to create a trendier look.
Drape Your Bangs Like A Curtain
These bangs were a hit in the ‘60s and they’re making a return! Yas! Celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Kate Moss are always rocking this look and that’s because it’s easy, low maintenance, and gorgeous! Instead of just leaving your bangs to hang down your forehead, part your hair in the middle and then drape your bangs toward the side of your face so they look like curtains.
Try A Curly Crop
Do you want to let your curls live their best lives? Cut them into a fringe crop and let them stay as curly as they were intended to be. Curly hair looks adorable with a short hairstyle because it automatically helps the hair look thicker and voluminous, without you having to really do anything but roll out of a bed.
Add Some Extensions
If your hair is already lengthy, just let your loose, natural waves run the show. However, if you have short hair (or mid-length hair) add length with extensions. You can glue in extensions, weave in extensions, or clip-in extensions if you don’t want to make the look permanent (or semi-permanent). The weather is getting chilly, after all. You can help warm yourself up with some long hair.
