Sleek-and-Chic Ponytails 

Fall is the time of year where we can become our busiest. There are football games, apple picking and pumpkin carving going on. With all this busy going on, there is nothing better than throwing your hair into a sleek-and-cheek ponytail. Just blowdry your hair in the direction of the ponytail, secure the ponytail to the head apply a light gel for the flyaways and you’re done!

Finger Waves

Fingerwaves first came about in the 1920s and they are uber classy. Fingerwaves are all about molding and shaping the hair into an s-shaped curve. This style works really well on a bob, but can be achieved with longer hair, as well. To start, you are going to want to create a deep part on one side of your head. Then, create the first section about 1’ away from your part. After this, use a clip to pin this part down. Create an identical part about 1” away from the first s-shape. Continue to do this until complete on both sides. You will want to start curling these sections. Spray on a setting hairspray and mold into curls. This style takes a bit of practice, but once you nail it, the final result is to die for! 

Pops of Color 

Time to reinvent yourself! If you are afraid of putting color in your hair (because of any damage or work related reasons) then a simple pop of color will be a perfect starting point. You can really choose any color you imagine. Get creative with this. You can place the pop of color along the mid-section of your hair towards the front of your face like Selena Gomez, so you don’t have to worry about roots. This hair color placement can grow out naturally and you can choose whether to continue the color pop or not!

Braided Crowns

Keeping your hair out of your face during the windy, cool season is super helpful and efficient. This is where braided crowns come to the rescue. You can look both chic and feel fall functional. Start by parting your hair in the middle from the back. Take three strands on one side of the part and start to Dutch Braid your hair. Work across the top of your forehead until you finish the braid. Repeat on the other side. Have the braids meet and bobby pin and hairspray to secure!
