Your hair really shouldn’t be what weighs you down. If you’ve already read our article on it and are now seriously thinking of taking some time to explore the hair department, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve compiled some easy DIY looks that you can do if it’s the first time you’re experimenting with your hair. It can be daunting, so we’ve gone for minimum effort and maximum impact – a few successful hairstyles under your belt, and you’ll become an expert in being adventurous with your look in no time.
If you aren’t a morning person, then spending some extra time with your hair might seem insane. Most mornings, the snooze button gets priority over a few extra minutes of dolling up. Sitting in front of your mirror, applying make-up and making sure you don’t look like a hurricane hit your face in the morning and finding the right outfit takes you as much time from your morning routine as possible, and to have to add in time for a DIY hairstyle seems impossible. Well, maybe not as much you think it is. Buckle up princess, your life is about to change.
- Straight outta summer
Heatless curls is by far the easiest hair-do. As the name suggest, it does no harm whatsoever to your hair because you’re literally using items you find lying around your house. Your mom isn’t going to demand that you apply pol thel on your hair two weeks into the hairdo because it’s starting to look ‘brown and dry’. And it doesn’t require more than about two minutes or so in the morning. It’s the year of the undone hair. It isn’t that hard to do either. Most of us ask ourselves where we would be without our curling wands, well, you wouldn’t be asking yourself that anymore! From sock curls to paper tissue curls, there’s a whole load of them on the internet. For those of you wanting the ultimate beach curl, try the instructions down below;
- The Waterfall Braid
For the waterfall braid, you need to have pretty long hair. The water fall braid gives a cute twist to the otherwise, French braid. You can do this on a day you decide to let your hair loose. It looks great on its own, but if you decide to spend some extra minutes on your hair, then you can swoop it to the side, do a ponytail or create a bun!
- The Super Long Ponytail
This again is for those of you with considerably long hair. What if I told you that in the fraction of a second, you can make your ponytail look twice as long? Sri Lankans will instantly grab the opportunity if it means it requires no effort or money. Well, both you and I would too! It’s crazy how easy and beautiful this simple trick makes your hair look in the end, this is perfect for those of you still taking baby steps on the DIY-hair experiment.
- An Elegant Pompadour
Pomp-a-what? If you don’t know what a pompadour is, chances are you’ve seen one at least some point in your life. The King of Rock and Roll really rocked this hairdo. It’s where your hair is flattened on the sides and there’s a big maw hawk like bump in front. Let’s all take a moment to thank Elvis for that. The 40’s and the 50’s was the age of the infamous Pompadour. The ladies are probably wondering what this hairdo has to do with them, well, as for them, we’ve got a bit of twist on the art of creating a perfect pompadour. This hairstyle is beautiful and would be a perfect blend on your work attire or even for cocktails in the evening. It’s a multifunctional hairstyle that we’d have to thank all the hair stylists on YouTube for.
- The Asymmetrical Twist
This is quite a high end hairdo and would probably take you little more time than the rest. It’s both elegant and professional. This is the perfect hairstyle for a party or dinner or any evening function for that matter. You can glam this look up with a flower hair crown that you can buy off the many Sri Lankan girls selling beautiful hair accessories as such through Instagram and Facebook.
You’ve got to get that mane under control and lucky for you, those are some of the solutions we have put together. Fast solutions. A little extra sleep in the morning and a hair routine that only takes minutes will finally make you take the chance and try out something new with your hair. It’s a win-win situation. You’ve got those beautiful locks for a reason. Don’t settle for a simple pony tail or a bun anymore. Your hair deserves more. Its time you feel as beautiful as you are!
