New Delhi, India (BBN)-We’ve all had those days of cribbing about our hair. “I am bored with my straight hair or I’m bored with my curly locks.”
If this sounds familiar to you, all you need is a few tips to give your locks a makeover, reports the Hindustan Times.
1. LOOK CHIC WITH A FAUX BOB
Give short hair a chance.
The faux bob is the perfect style to go shorter without actually giving up on your long hair.
Pull your hair together at the nape of the neck, roll it up and pin it up with bobby pins or tie with a rubber band and tuck it under.
2. HEAT-FREE BOUNCY CURLS
Gorgeous curls without heat are a dream come true and it’s an icing on the cake if they are neat, polished and frizz-free.
For the wavy effect, just make six to eight braids instead of one and wake up to sexy beachy waves.
3. DRESS UP YOUR PONYTAIL
A ponytail is not just a good idea while working out but can wear it to work, a party or a date.
To add texture to your ponytail, tease the crown with a tail comb and achieve your favourite celeb style fluffed up ponytail.
For a date night, braid a section of your hair and add it to your fluffed up ponytail and style it with a few jasmine flowers.
4. THE FRENCH SOLUTION:
Spare your hair the suds for a day!
Braiding your hair will definitely hide most of the oily, greasy hair.
You can go for a classic French braid, mini French braids or a bun braid.
Make it look intricate by adding fresh flowers or a bright coloured silk flower to it.
