Summer...Hair i come!

I thought i was gonna sit back and enjoy Spring, but the weatherman had other plans. With the rising temperature outside, all i wanna do is get into loose, comfy clothes & twist my hair into the top of my head and keep it there for eternity. But for us, fashion conscious girls, that isn't an option,is it? So i took to my stash of fashion magazines and searched for hairstyles that did not involve hair touching the back of my neck (that'd be tragic in the summer), shortlisted the ones i liked, and then searched online for the "how to do it" part.


I am a naturally lazy person and cannot be bothered with elaborate hairstyles and updos that'd take me hours in front of the mirror to perfect. Naah, i'm  just not that type!! So i narrowed it down to the easy to do hairstyles which look like you've spent hours in front of the mirror but actually haven't.(Anyone thinking cheat-sheet??)

Cute, Flirty & Easy Hairstyles to try this Summer:

The Oh So Popular Fishtail Braid:

Every time i flip open a magazine, i find at least two or more celebs sporting this hairstyle.. Most regular of em all being Blake Lively and closer home, Deepika Padukone. YouTube is full of fishtail braid tutorials, but the best & the most helpful of the lot, was the one shown by Lauren Conrad. I've been a fan of LC since her Laguna Beach days and i absolutely love the work she's doing on her site- www.thebeautydepartment.com

For those of you,who do not know what a fishtail braid looks like,here goes:

Isn't it just so chic? i tried this one multiple times, and it looks FAB! For the tutorial, click here


The Feather Waterfall & Ladder Braid Combo:

I know it sounds pretty complicated, what with the Feather and the Waterfall and the Ladder.. but trust me, it's pretty easy to do once u get a hang of it. It is basically two hairstyles combined in one- so you can wear it separately or together, depending on the look you're trying to achieve or in my case, my patience level at that moment.So here's how it looks:

I think it looks angelic, and seeing as to how great it looks, i don't mind putting in a little more effort than my usual "tie-a-pony-and-leave" attitude. For the step by step guide, Click here


Triple Braided Tieback Hairstyle:

I think this,by far, is the easiest of the lot and perfect for when you want to look stylish while running your daily errands.

I tried this..yayy..but my short layers messed it up (Damn them).Nonetheless, it's pretty easy and as you can see, looks UH-MAZZIIINNGG. For the tutorial, Click here


The Five Strand Braid:

Yes,it's FIVE strands..for someone like me,who is probably the biggest klutz i know, managing three strands for a simple braid is a challenge..so imagine my reaction when i came upon this hairstyle. I was in denial..i was like "No freakin way am i gonna try THAT" but guess what? After a few deep breaths and a few misses, i was finally able to do it..and it's pretty easy once you've done it a couple of times. Trust me on that!

Looking at this, who can even think that it took less than a minute. My go-to look, this is perfect for school, work, brunch or even an informal date..i think it would look really nice with the bohemian look. Check out the video tutorial here


Formal Updo:

You must be wondering why would i add a formal updo here when everything else was cute and flirty..well, i'm just trying to expand my portfolio here ;) Kidding!! It may sound all stiff and formal-ish, but once you see the video, you'll understand that it's a really fun look to try.. Click here

Alright girlies, that's all from me today. I'll definitely be on the hunt for more fun things to write about. In the meantime, stay good,stay stylish..and do lemme know what ya'll think.
