Simple + elevated hairstyle idea 🤍

I love a hairstyle that’s simple but looks like it took a lot of effort!! Try this next time you need an idea 🫶🏼

✍🏼 Steps:

1. Section two pieces of hair on each side in the front, and clip the rest of your hair out of the way🪮

2. Braid each strand, secure with elastic, and poof out! ✨

3. Take rest of your hair out of clip, slick into a low pony, loosen elastic and pull hair through 🩷

4. Grab each braid and push through the opening of the pull through part 🫶🏼

5. Add elastic a few inches down and pull that piece through! Repeat until you’ve used all the hair and don’t forget to poof each section out! 🥰

6. Slick down any baby hairs and that’s it! 🤩

✂️ Tools:

- Brush

- Comb

- Two small clear elastics

- Handful of regular sized clear elastics

- Hair wax stick

You might also want to explore variations of this hairstyle, such as incorporating accessories like clips or decorative pins, which could further enhance its appeal.

Regularly conditioning your hair and using appropriate styling products—a hair wax stick, for instance—can not only help maintain your hairstyle but also contribute to the overall health of your hair. This way, you'll ensure that your effortless look remains flawless throughout the day. Whether you are preparing for a night out or simply want to indulge in some self-care, this hairstyle concept is flexible enough to suit various themes and styles. Plus, it's a wonderful opportunity for experimentation; don't hesitate to adjust the thickness of your braids or the height of your ponytail to match your personal style.
