Go to Hairstyle

Let's just say, I'm a little unmotivated at work today.

What's your hair routine?

What's your go to hairstyle?

Do you switch it up a lot? 

Re: Go to Hairstyle

  • I have a slight reverse angle bob, where it?s slightly shorter in the back than the front. I can do 1 of 3 things with it: (1) Blow dry and tousle for a messy look (which is usually too messy and I end up wearing a headband); (2) flat iron it straight (think Posh Spice); or (3) flat iron it so the ends stick out (think finger in a light socket).  When I have time, my preference is to rotate between 2 and 3, 2 more for work, 3 more for weekends and evenings out.  My routine is just wash, dry, flat iron, then hairspray. I try to minimize product since I use too much heat already.
    We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

  • I keep my hair long because it's actually easier for me to style than when it's short. I wash and air-dry usually. My natural part is center-ish, so I just go with it.

    When I have shorter hair, I have to blowdry and use piecing product. 

  • I have super curly hair. It takes forever to straighten, so I usually wash and blow dry with a styling gel. It is very long right now. Too long actually, but I don't know what I want to do with it, so I keep putting off making a hair appointment.

  • When I go out somewhere I try to keep it down and flat-iron -- something like this:

    But on a day to day basis it's usually in a low messy thing or a high messy thing.

  • I wear my hair down basically all of the time (it's a little past collar bone length now).  It goes up at for bed or for working out, but that's about it.

    My hair is naturally straight, so I just blow dry it with a round brush and that's it.  No products except a little hairspray for my bangs.

    The only thing I tend to switch up are my bangs.  They are side swept.  Sometimes I'll wear them to the side...sometimes I french braid them in the front (a la Lauren Conrad)...and sometimes I pin them back and to the side.

    I sometimes curl my hair with a curling iron, but that's super rare now that my hair is shorter.

  • My hair is naturally straight and at about shoulder length right now.. I wash, dry, and flat iron every morning. my drying an flat ironing totals about on 10 minutes so there isnt much easier that that for me unless im staying home then occasionally i will dry it and leave it how it is.. its not very nice looking though.. my "changing it up" consists of my pulling my hair half up.. which is rare.

  • My hair is naturally wavy (=frizzy), so most days I blow dry the front (long bangs split at the part, which is off-center) and pull the rest in a pony tail.  It dries in a cute curlicue. 

    If I wear it down I usually blow dry, brush and apply frizz-ease. Takes about 10 minutes.

    If I have a lot more time, or want to look like I put thought into it, I use a leave-in conditioner/mousse combo from Aussie, blow dry the front and airdry the rest into waves that hit my shoulders, but I have to apply frizz-ease when it's finished drying or it just looks messy. 

    When I blowdry, on a good hair day I end up with this (except I'm a brunette):

    on a bad hair day I get this:

    and I have no way of knowing which it will be beforehand.  So if it goes all stringy and frizzy and messy, I usually go back to the pony tail.
