For a sleek look, pull the half ponytail up and secure it firmly. For a messy, natural vibe, gather and secure the top half of your hair loosely. Pull down a few face-framing tendrils to soften the look even more. You can accomplish this look with chin-length, medium, and long hair.
For more volume and texture, use a texturing spray at the roots before sectioning the hair. You can also tease the hair gently at the sides to create more volume and a messier look. Create this look if you have medium to long hair.
You can also drape the braids loosely and secure them right above the nape of your neck for a softer style. Pull down face-framing tendrils and tease gently at the crown if you want to add some volume. Weave flowers or greenery into your braids to create the ultimate boho look. You’ll need medium to long hair for this style.
Tease the lengths of the ponytail and the rest of your hair lightly for more volume. Create this look with chin-length, medium, or long hair.
Secure the twists lower down on the back of your head to create an even softer look. Tease the hair at the crown and on the sides and spritz hairspray over your style to lock it in place. Pulling down face-framing tendrils will soften the look even more. You can achieve this look with chin-length, medium, and long hair.
This style looks great with curly or wavy hair, which tends to look more voluminous than straight hair. You can make the French braids tight for a sleeker look or loose for a softer look. This style works best for medium to long hair.
Pull the twists and fishtail braid gently to loosen the hair if you want a softer, more “undone” look. If using a heated tool, be sure to apply a heat protectant product to your hair before curling. Create this look with medium to long hair.
If you have very thick hair, you’d likely need to secure your hair in a ponytail with an elastic first, and then twist the hair into a bun, followed by another elastic. Mist your style with hairspray to keep it in place all day. Apply smoothing serum to your hair before pulling it into a bun for the smoothest look. Achieve this style with medium to long hair.
