Trendsetter A.k.a Be chic!
If you identify with the words above, the key word for your hairstyle would be accessorizing. Look at bold but chic options teamed up with quick and simple hairstyles.
Try a retro hair band
We chose a red polka dot here, with a bold knot. It can be worn on natural open hair – long or short. Contrast your hair color and choose a band without bling – as it should look a daytime accessory and outdoorsy at the same time.
- You can also try tying a scarf like a hair band with a knot at the top of the head, similarly to the hair band above. Choose bright florals or cute conversational prints!
Tip: Think of a Spanish dancer while doing the make up for this look. Bold red lips and defined eyes gel very well.
Sun hats are the way to go!
These are very functional on a picnic as they definitely provide your face with sun protection as well as turn your whole look around from ordinary to remarkable.
Sun hats look beautiful with loose hair shoulder length or longer. You could have them straight or sport a wavy out of the bed look. Messed up hair look portray you are not trying hard and add the right charm to a relaxed picnic. Use a hair spray to make them stay in place.
Tip: Pair up with your favorite glasses and a natural pink pout.
How about a head band?
A free spirited picnic calls for a helping of hippie dressing. Choose a solid color – a burnt orange or a red or sea green.
And not only a head band, fashion turbans these days are rocking fashionistas the world over – with chic colors and prints to choose from, who would say no.- Straight loose hair complement this updo. Do not part your hair while sporting this one. In fact puff them up a little while wearing the band.
Tip: Natural lips with kohl on the rims of your eyes (and a little white accents on the inner corners) look perfect alongwith.
Girl Next Door a.k.a Keep it simple!
For those who believe beauty is in simplicity – these are the right hairstyles for you.
Braids
Part your hair on your natural side. Tie a braid but it should sit in the front of your shoulder on one side. Let the hair on the other side loose, as a few strands that way look pretty and unassuming.
Be natural with the makeup here with only gloss and mascara.
Tip : Make up for the simple hairstyle by wearing a cheerful color in clothes.
Do you have naturally curly hair?
Perfecto Perfecto! It’s maybe all you need as it adds a character of it’s own to any dress any outfit.
Wash your hair before, to achieve fresh curls. If you need to hold them in place, puff a few strands in the centre and pin them up.- In case you are not blessed with curls and long this hairstyle, read a quick How to Curly hair.
Tip : Shape your brows and flash a smile!
Try a different braid this time
Tie a fishtail side braid.
To add more to the style part your hair from the very corner and upwards – as shown in picture. Do a double braid. One primary – holding your first strands together and then the secondary braid that holds all of your hair together.- Let the loose strands be, and do not try to be very neat with this hairstyle.
Tip: Smoky eyes with blushing cheeks and rosy pink lips are ideal to spruce up this hairstyle.
Straighten your hair, but not to perfection
Let them look natural and not machine done. Part your hair to a side. Add a small amount of volumizing spray to prevent the hair from appearing flat.
