10 Quick & Easy Everyday Hairstyles

It's occured to me that I haven't done a hair post at all on my blog, which is strange as I'm obsessed with trying out new hairstyles. This post is going to include some of my easiest everyday hairstyles.

1. Messy curls with an accessory 
So for this hairstyle you can either curl your hair with any curling iron or sleep with plaits the night before to create curls without heat, either way this look is supposed to look messy so if using a curling iron I would brush through the curls and add a little texturing spray or hairspray. Once the curls are as you want them, add a hair accessory of your choice.

2. High pony with plaits
Again for this look I wanted curls as they give my pony tail more volume, which can be created by plaits or curlers. I find that high ponytails flatter your face, bringing your hair away from it and personally I prefer them to any other type of ponytail. To make this look less boring I added small little plaits which you can do before or after you tie the hair into the ponytail. You can either tie the plaits (elastic bands are good because they're small and don't show up) or spray them with hairspray and they should stay in place.

3. Two fishtails
I think fishtail plaits are really cute and aren't as hard as they look. I often do one fishtail plait, but if you want to be a little unusual you can try two fishtail plaits at either side of your face which I think looks cute and girly. The easiest way I can explain to doing a fishtail is by dividing your hair into two sections, then take a small part of hair from the outside of one of the sections and cross it over to the other section and repeat this until you reach the bottom of your hair and tie it.

4. Plait to the back of your head
Make sure your hair has been washed and hasn't got any products in it. Use a medium to thick curling wand or straighteners and curl the hair in the same direction smoothing over the curls and taming any frizz with a mousse or spray. Then taking two bits of hair that frame your face at the front pull them back away from the face and plait. When both the plaits join up tie them together with an elastic to secure them.

5. Half up, half down
This can be done with either straight, curly or wavy hair and is stupidly easy. Just pull the top half of your hair back into a high ponytail and leave the rest to hang. I decided to add a scrunchie for a bit of a 90's vibe.

6. Messy bun
Another easy one and probably the laziest hairstyle of these 10. I basically dump my hair onto the top of my head and tie a bun with a hair bobble. I then pull away at bits of hair and scrunch bits up and tuck bits of hair into the bobble. It's quite unpredictable but that is what makes it so messy! I wear this a lot when doing sports or when I'm in a rush and can't be bothered to make any effort with my hair.

7. Sleek and straight
All you'll need for this is a pair of straighteners and some smoothing spray to tame frizz. Additionally I use a heat protectant before straightening, a smoothing soft bristle brush and hairspray but these aren't essential. This look works well with shiny hair and creates a classy glamorous look.

8. Ribbons and a plait
Although it seems difficult this is literally just a plait coming down the side of your face but with a strand of ribbon along with it. I attach this underneath most of my layers of hair with a hair grip and act as though it is another strand of hair.

9. Twisted bun with curls
This hairstyle is very similar to number 4, but rather than making plait you twist the bit of hair at the side of your face until they meet at the back of your head and wind them round one another until there is a bun shape. Then attach it to the head with grips and spritz with a bit of hairspray.

10. Boho accessory
This last hairstyle is a bit more fun and open to interpretation! You can use any hair tool to get the texture you want your hair to be and add a cute boho hair accessory, like this one here which is from Topshop.
