Styling your hair in the morning isn't always easy, especially when you don't feel like blow-drying! However, you also don't want to look like a scarecrow fresh out of bed, so this week we're offering you a tutorial to create three easy and quick hairstyles for medium-length hair!
______________
1) The Twisted Half Ponytail
When we say half-ponytail, it reminds you of your elementary/middle school days, and for you, it's a cheesy hairstyle. So we're revisiting this easy and quick hair tutorial to give it a modern and trendy look! What do you think of this hair tutorial?
Step 1 : Gather all the materials you'll need to create this hairstyle. Nothing extravagant, everything should normally be in your bathroom for these hair accessories : a brush, a tail comb, volumizing hairspray and bobby pins if needed.
Step 2 : Create a half-ponytail by taking two thin strands from the top of your head, then tie them with a small elastic.
Step 3 : For each of the two strands taken in the half-ponytail, you will: take a strand close to the original one, then pass it underneath. Then over this strand to create a twisted effect. Once the twists are done, let the strand fall back into the loose hair.
Step 4 : Lightly scrunch your hair for a perfectly tousled effect. Add a little volumizing hairspray and you're done! A superb hairstyle done in 5 minutes.
2) The Side Braid
The slightly loose braid is one of the quintessential medium-length hairstyles. In addition to giving you that chic bohemian look, this hairstyle is super easy to create!
Step 1 : With your electric straightener, create loose waves to give your hair a wavy look, which will accentuate the chic side. For natural waves, always create them outwards.
Step 2 : Take a fairly thick strand at the front of your head, then start braiding it as you normally would.
Step 3 : Once your braid reaches the back of your head, secure it with a straight or wavy bobby pin. Then hide your pins with the loose hair. For a wider braid, thicken it by pulling on the edges of your strands.
Step 4 : Once your hairstyle is finished, set it with a spray of volumizing hairspray for a hairstyle that lasts all day!
3) The Braided Crown
This hairstyle is super easy to create and always makes a statement! Never forget, braids are your hair allies; there are many kinds, and they are easy to create and work with.
Step 1 : Separate your hair into two sections by creating a middle part that goes from the base of your hair to your nape. Then tie your two hair sections separately.
Step 2 : Create two French braids on each side of your head then tie them with small elastic bands. For a less sophisticated effect, you can loosen your braids by gently pulling on the edges of each strand.
Step 3 : Take your first braid then tuck it under the second to achieve this crown shape, then secure it with hairpins. For the second braid, perform the same operation by fixing it under the opposite braid, then secure everything with hairpins.
Step 4 : Secure your bun with a little hairspray for a flawless finish and you're styled for the whole day. A chic bohemian style down to the very ends of your hair!
And there you have it, three hairstyles for medium-length hair to inspire you when you don't feel like blow-drying or simply don't have the time.
