While we know it sounds like more fun to find the perfect party hairstyle or the best hot date hair. Now would be the time to inform you that, while seemingly boring, it is important to find a hairstyle that works for the office and we brought you the steps on how to do a office friendly hairstyles.
Side-Swept Pony
Step 1: Start by applying a light weight shine serum to dry hair.
Step 2: On the crown of your head, section out a circle of hair about 4 inches in diameter and lightly back comb the underside with your brush. Two or three strokes down the shaft of your hair should give you all the lift you need.
Step 3: Create a side part and leave about two inches of face-framing hair hanging on that side out as you loosely brush hair back into a neat, mid-height pony.
Step 4: Secure pony with a thick elastic that matches your hair color and won't slip out.
Step 5: Secure some of the hanging front section of hair behind you ear with a bobby pin -- you want a few wisps to remain hanging.
This works best for shoulder length thick and straight hair.
Sophisticated Side Braid works best for long hair and any texture.
Step 1: Haphazardly create a side part in dry hair using a wide tooth comb.
Step 2: With your hands, pull hair around to side opposite your part.
Step 3: Section hair into three parts and braid them, securing at the ends with clear elastic. For more braid inspiration, check out these celebrity braided styles or watch this easy how-to braiding video.
Step 4: Pull out a few face-framing pieces of hair to soften the look.
Slicked Back Half-Updo works best for shoulder length or longer, thick or fine straight hair.
Step 1: First, if your hair isn't stick straight like Jada's, run a flat iron over the ends to really flatten out. Then, apply a strong hold gel to the front and sides of dry hair, and slick all of your face framing hair back.
Step 2: Section off a horseshoe shape of hair from your temples to the back of your crown, and clip up and out of the way for now.
Step 3: Use a comb to smooth back the sides of your hair (just above your ears) and secure each side (just behind your ears) with bobby pins that match your hair color.
Step 4: Let down the clipped section and carefully smooth back the top section of hair with a comb, so it hides the pins. Sprits with hairspray to finish.
Zig-Zag Parted Pixie
Step 1: Apply a smoothing serum and blow dry hair with a round brush for added volume and shine.
Step 2: Decide which side you want to part on, then use a comb to create a large Z shape diagonally across the crown of your head.
Step 3: Tuck the hair on the same side it's parted on behind your ear and sprits your entire head with light hold hairspray.
This works best for short thick or fine hair.
Textured Half-Updo works best for curly shoulder length or longer hair.
Step 1: Apply curl enhancing gel to damp hair and let curls dry naturally or diffuse.
Step 2: Pull the top half of your hair back into a half-up pony.
Step 3: Secure hair with a work-appropriate clip.
Step 4: Use fingers to rough up the pinned section for added texture.
Side-Pinned Curls works best for wavy or straight, fine or thick hair.
Step 1: Quickly blow dry hair with large round brush to add bounce and shine.
Step 2: Create a deep side part directly above your temples using a comb.
Step 3: Secure the front of your hair on the side opposite your part with a bobby pin that doesn't match your hair color -- so it stands out.
Step 4: Use a large-barreled curling iron (check out top-rated ones here) and roll just the ends of your hair around the barrel in towards your face.
Step 5: Mist hair with flexible-hold hairspray.
Voluminous Ponytail works best for shoulder length straight hair.
Step 1: Working with dry hair, section off a horseshoe shape from temple to temple on top of your head and spray with a volumizer.
Step 2: Using a fine toothed comb, tease the back side of that section to create volume. Smooth the section away from your face when you're done.
Step 3: Brush hair back into a high ponytail and secure with elastic.
Step 4: Use a large curling iron to curl just the ends of ponytail. Mist with hairspray to set the look.
Sleek Deep Side-Part works best for straight thick hair.
Step 1: Apply a tiny amount of a de-frizzing and shine enhancing.
Step 2: Create a deep side part with comb.
Step 3: Flat iron hair straight flipping out the ends slightly.
Step 4: Tuck hair on the same side as your part behind one ear and pin for extra hold.
Finally, the Pinned Up Ends With A Headband works best for wavy or straight, shoulder length hair.
Step 1: Create a side part in dry hair and loosely bobby pin (so hair drapes above one eye) two inches of the side opposite your part behind your ear.
Step 2: Choose a work-appropriate headband and slide it onto the top of your head, covering the pin.
Step 3: Bobby pin the ends of your hair under, to the hair at the nape of your neck (faux bob style) or swoop into a loose bun.
That's all for now folks! Now you can wear them and your co-workers won't ever gossip about your bad hair choice or your hair color mishap at the water cooler. Instead they'll talk about how you kicked butt on your big presentation. Stay tuned for more beauty tips! Bye! -
