10 Easy, Effortless Everyday Hairstyles for Women

Sleek Ponytail

A neat high ponytail looks so easy yet when you attempt it, still it hangs so low. It’s a universal struggle.

All you need to do is, simply, add the hair mousse and follow the below steps:

1. Part the little front section of your hair and tie it separately.
2. Tie a ponytail at the back.
3. Now, take the parting and run it behind and around the sleek ponytail to create a seamless finish.

Double Dutch Braid

These are elaborate pigtails that look and feel very comfortable. At the same time, this hairstyle also may come off as a difficult one to pull off. But it’s quite easy and is suitable for both long and short hair. Now, find a mirror and follow the steps:

1. Create two even sections of hair with a middle parting. And clip one section separately.
2. Brush out any tangles in the working section. Then, divide the section into three and start braiding.
3. Now, you are going to add small bits of your hair to the section as you braid. The new section goes under the braid instead of over it.
4. Keep the braid in a straight-ish line that is centered as it traverses the hemisphere of your skull. And finish each side with elastic rubber.
