Easy hairstyles to try at home

1. Straight or curled bobs

This one is for short-haired girls who feel the need to try out some wild and unique hairstyle. A sleek bob is a statement that not everyone can pull off, so embrace it. It is suggested that straightening or curling your bob and adding hair accessories like clips - or maybe some jewels - could help change it up.

2. Fishtail

Big braids or fishtail hairstyles are wonderful for keeping your hair out of your face during the day and out of your way at night. You can curl the front sections of your hair to add dimension.

3. Beach waves

If you have long hair and don't want to waste time pinning it back with bobby pins, opting for casual beach waves is always chic. To create this look, use a clamp curling iron or a wand iron.

4. Sleek bun/ ponytail

Slicked-back hairstyles are stylish and ageless, and they have a stranglehold on Generation Z. To keep stray hairs in place with a tight top-knot or ponytail, all you need is some hair gel and hairspray. If you go the ponytail option, you can curl the hair in your ponytail or do a tight braid for added wow factor.

5. Half-up, half-down

Can't decide whether to wear your hair up or down? Don't worry, just do both. A half-up, half-down hairstyle allows you to have the best of both worlds. Simply divide your hair in half and tie it in a slicked-back or teased-up ponytail (or braid), leaving the remainder of your hair straight or curled.
