When Beyoncé uttered the lines “I woke up like this… flawless”, a pre-existing penchant for that seemingly flawless yet effortless style took a whole new life. Girls started rocking super messy hair, both in buns and loose.
However, as we all know, even Blake Lively, the absolute queen of messy, immaculate hair, completely wakes up like that. You know, easy is not precisely easy, but with this bedside hairstyle pick, complete with how-to+tools and products, you too can rock the ‘I do not care’ look like a queen, with minimum effort. .
Loose Webbing
Loose plait, aka boyfriend braids, is probably the most chic of the ‘casual’ looks. And you can run any time – dinner, picnic, evening outing, whatever.
The first step to creating this look is parting your hair to one side and using a good texturizing spray on the sections where you’ll be braiding. Then, just as you would a French braid, pick up three smaller strands. Then, take a really small section of hair (leaving most of the hair in the middle) and pull it into the braid all the way, but not tight, as it is meant to be loose. Leave the strands around your face loose, for an additional sexy effect, and voila, you are done.
Braided Up-Do
If you truly want to push your hair back off your face, this up-do is for you. Miss Sue have provided a visible guide on how to accomplish this look. Keep in mind that you’re going to need some clips, some rubber bands, and a few pins.
If you have hair that’s naughty and a little unruly, it is best to use a little hairspray when you are done, to make sure the dots are intact, and a little hair wax or non-greasy pomade during the creative process.
Textured Bangs
Michael Mesiti from Bauhaus hair is here to show you how to accomplish Blake Lively’s coveted textured bangs. As you can see in the video, obviously you’ll need a texture spray. The next prep step is to create messy waves with your tool of choice, a curling iron or a curling iron, whichever you are more snug with.
An important aspect of rocking this style is having healthy, undamaged hair. This applies to all hairstyles, but particularly those that require heat. Even if you at all times condition your hair after washing, remember the great benefits hair vitamins. This should be on your grooming to-do list every week. Even if you are not battling any particular problem and your hair is healthy, you need to ensure it stays that way. And if you are dealing with a selected hair problem – there is a mask solution for each problem. Serum is a must every now and then too.
Polished High Bun
When your hair is nourished and healthy, it can look shiny and glossy, and that is when a polished bun comes into play. This style is most likely the most elegant of all bed hairstyles.
Cosmopolitan is here not only with a list of celebs who have done just that, but with the knowledge you will need to accomplish it. To be super slim, you need a good one hair pomades to keep those potential naughty hairs in place. Bonus tip: if your hair is not as full as you’d like, you can create the illusion of fullness by using one of those bun sponges
