Tame your Mane

Tame your Mane

This season's top trends for managing your mop.

Front and Center

The center part is a quick and easy fix for those in a time crunch. This versatile style can be worn up in a messy bun or slicked back, and can also be worn down either straight, wavy or in curls. Try adding an accessory like a headband or hair clip to finish off the look.

Off Balance

The side part is an easy and stylish alternative to the center part. This look can be worn up or down, slicked back or curled. Wither you have bangs or not this is a style that will never fail. Try braiding the side with the least amount of hair and securing it at the nape of the neck with bobby pins or a decorative clip for an interesting twist.

DIY:

-Create a part at any point along forehead (be sure the part is nice and straight)

-experiment with different variations of the style, try gathering all the hair into a loose bun at the base of the neck


Birds Nest

Just rolled out of bed with ten minutes to get out the door? Toss up this quick do for a messy on the go bun that works with any outfit.

-pull all hair up into a ponytail on the top of your head.(you can also place it off to one side)

-*optional* if your looking for a sleek look, try spraying your pony tail with hairspray and comb through to reduce frizziness
