Festive Hairdos That Are Easy

The Fashion Folks 38 Comments

So I’ve pinned down fashion and makeup, but it’s time that the hair gets it fair share of attention too. I’m quite lazy when it comes to hairdos, but if it’s one time I like to give my hair some extra love, it’s around the holidays. So here are some festive hairdos for lazy people! Pssst, don’t miss post 1, post 2 and post 3 from Christmas week!

Braided bun

One of my go-to hairdos is the braided bun. It’s a fun twist to the regular bun and I find that it’s easier to hold a braided bun in its place rather than a regular one. I also think that a braided bun is fun to do both for a low bun but also a high. Decided where you want the braid, do a ponytail there. Braid the ponytail tightly and wrap it around the root of the ponytail. Secure it with bobby pins or another hair-tie!

Twisted Fringe

Remember when Lauren Conrad was the it-girl in fashion (more or less) and gave us trends like black nails, high midi skirts and also the twisted fringe? Well 8 years later and I still do them all to be honest (hey, they’re classics!). The twisted fringe in specific is genius when one hasn’t had the time to wash the hair (at least my fringe is my weak spot aka where you can spot the current state of my hair). I take the fringe and separate it in two equal parts. I twirl one part away from the face and then I secure it with bobby pins. And then I do the same for the other part. Easy and chic!

One braided side

To work one braided side is also a chic and festive statement. Just take a part of the hair, do a french braid and finish with a hair-tie. To make it more bohemian, pull the sections of the braid apart! If you want to make it more advanced, braid all the way and then make a bun like below!

Decorate

Many of you seemed to love the idea of doing a red ribbon in the hair for Christmas. I love it too, in fact, I love it so much that I’ll do it in different colors. Like a grey ribbon, green or why not a golden one? Make a cute bow folks!

Braid and a bun

This is not a braided bun but a braid that ends in a bun! I used to do this one all the time before but haven’t in awhile, even though I still adore it! Tilt the head forward and do a braid of the underlying hair, (do a french braid). When you’ve reached the top of your head, do a ponytail that includes the braid. Twist the hair around the hair-tie and secure with bobby pins! Or why not do several braids?

Folks! What festive hairdos do you do?! Xx

Our Top 4 Hairdos For Fall

The Fashion Folks 85 Comments

You know how it is, you skip some precious beauty sleep in order to get your hair ready for the day. You wash it, dry it, fix it and perhaps do an hairdo. All of that only to walk outside and get your hair ruined by the wind, rain or whatever mood the fall weather is up to. And we know, getting a bad hair day day on a day you’ve prepped for a good hair day day (not being confusing at all here) really sucks. But we might have the solution for you. Folks? Here are our hairdos for fall.

Top 4 Hairdos To Try For Fall | The Fashion Folks

The basis of a perfect hairdo for fall

We know, we’re not good at hairdos either. They often take time to do, and if we’re down to it, we do prefer to be dressed rather than having our hair done. But the latter doesn’t take away the fact that hairdos for fall is a great idea. It keeps your hair in place when it’s windy, it keeps it out of the makeup and it’s kind of a good contrast to all the layers fall comes with. So the demands we have is that it has to be:

1) Easy to make
2) Has to keep it in place
3) Have to, of course, look fashionable.

A bun is fun

Well, a bun is fun indeed. And it’s quite simple, whether you’re opting for perfection, a messy one or a donut bun you’ll figure it out. The key to a perfect bun is to figure out the mood of your hair for the day (believe us, this is a thing) and see what you’ll be able to work. Some days the messy buns just happens and other days the hair will cooperate and do a perfected one. We love it nevertheless, no more hair fuss!

Braids and more braids

Classic and fantastic. Braids gives the perfect boho feeling and is favorable to work for fall with its ability to work with a hat, and of course, keep the hair in place. This hairdo in specific feels favorable for fall weather too with its chill texture. We just love braids with cozy cardigans and outfits with too many layers! Braids for fall are a must!

Sleek ponytail

Let’s just admit it, does a hairdo say more fierce than the one that is a sleek ponytail? It’s just something so empowering with it. Perhaps due to its perfected core, it gives the vibe of someone who has it together. And what is fierce and powerful if not that? Enough with us rambling though, this hairdo is also favorable for fall as the hair is put in place, it takes no effort at all and gives a nice preppy balance to the often soft silhouettes of fall fashion. We adore this one!

Tucked in

Now this is might not an actual hairdo, but it’s a working one. The tucked in hairdo became trendy a few seasons ago when the turtleneck made its big comeback. It was suddenly fashionable to let the hair stay inside the clothes. And it does kind of look chic and we like the idea of leaving the hair at nothing. It can be kind of annoying though with the hair close to the skin, but a small price to pay for a fashionable outcome!
