5 Quick and Easy Hairstyles!

5 Quick and Easy Hairstyles!

These looks would be perfect for school or just a casual day in town. The best part about these lovely hairstyles is that you don’t need any fancy skills to do them. People who wake up with about five minutes to get ready in the morning deserve nice hair too, so here you go!

Hairstyle no 1: This is a very simple and relaxed hairstyle that also puts a nice spin on the regular pony tail. The picture is pretty self-explanatory, just tie your hair up loosely, divide above the hair tie in two then just pull your hair through. 
  


Hairstyle no 2: This hairstyle is also very simple and can work on most kinds of hair. It involves taking the front pieces of your hair on both sides, then plaiting them to the back of your head then tying the two plaits with a clear hair tie or a normal one would look good too.


Hairstyle no 3: This is another pony tail style. It’s a pony tail with two braids coming from the two sides of your head and then joining the pony tail. A good idea for a rainy day or if you didn't have lots of time to style your hair to wear it down.

Hairstyle no 4: This is a very simple and pretty look. You just take a section of hair from behind your ear and do a tight plait to the end of the section. Then put it across your head like a hairband and secure with a clip. Then if you want to go a step further, take another section of hair from above your other ear, make another tight plait. Then bring behind your head and secure with another clip.



Hairstyle no 5: This last hair style is perfect when you have a busy day planned and you don’t want hair in your face. You just do a simple twist on each side of your head, secure each with a clip. Take the rest of your hair and do a simple twist, secure with a hair tie.
 



So there are the 5 quick and easy hairstyles that everyone can do at home. I hope these help some of you add more variety to your hairstyle routine and makes your accidental lie ins less stressful.

Best foundations for oily skin. From Nars to Rimmel!

  • If you want your makeup to stay on instead of running or smearing off your face which you will want to make sure you always prime your skin first. The easiest thing to do is prime the most oily areas like the T-zone. You can put primer on after washing your face and before you actually put on your makeup. You can also prep your eyelids with an eyelid primer for example; Rimmel Eye Primer Exaggerate Undercove (€6.59) or Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion (€21.00).

    Also make sure that you don’t overdo it on setting  powder It may sound that packing on the oil-absorbing powder would be a good idea but actually too much powder can make your pores push out even more oil. If you want something handy in case you get a shiny oily spot or two throughout the day carry some blotting papers in your bag. They are great for a quick touch up eg. Boots Skin Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets (€5.39).
