As much as I love leaving my curls loose and free flowing (which is the best way to show the beauty of your curls according to me :)), once in a while I like to put them up in a ponytail or a braid. Especially while travelling, a bun is my go to hairstyle. I know many of you have been asking this for a really long time. So here it is finally. A post showing some of my everyday curly hairstyles which are super easy (I am too lazy to do complex braids and twists :D). All these hairstyles are suitable for both short and long curly hair.

P. S:-I know I it’s been long since I posted something – I was on vacation in Italy. So be on the lookout for some travel diaries soon 🙂

1. No style – Loose curly hair with bangs in the front.



As you can see, not doing anything makes me look like a potato :P.

a. Bring your bangs to one end (I have chosen the left side here)

b. Bring some of your longer hair from behind your bangs to the left side. The ends of the longer hair on the left side gives a voluminous look

2. Quarter pony



a. Take your bangs to the back of your head

b. Still touching your scalp, push it a little forward on your head to create volume

c. Secure with a tiny claw clip or bobby pins

3. Messy pony

a. Place your thumbs on the back of your head near the neck

b. Pull the hair up like you are drawing a 2 brackets with your thumbs like this – ( )

c. Secure it at a height you like with a really strong claw clip (if you use a loose clip, the clip will slide down)

4. High and low ponies



No explanation required 😀 W have been doing these from time immemorial :p

5. Side braid



a. Bring all your hair to one side

b. Do a braid till the very end of your hair leaving just about 1 or 2 cms to tie it

c. Secure with a rubber band

6. Messy side braid



a. Do the above side braid

b. Pull your braid apart slightly from here and there to increase the flatness of your braid and make it look messy

7. Bun

a. Gather your hair into a pony tail

b. Wring it like you wring clothes and twist it into a spiral as you go

c. Secure with a chopstick or rubber band

The height of the pony will determine the height of your bun

8. Half bun (hun)

You could do this 2 ways –

1)

a. Gather half of your hair into a pony tail

b. Wring it and twist it into a spiral as you go

c. Secure with a chopstick or rubber band

2)



a. Gather half of your hair into a pony tail

b. Use a rubber band to secure it once

c. In the 2nd round of the rubber band, don’t pull out the hair wholly. Leave it when it almost reaches then end of the half pony.

The height of the half pony will determine the height of your hun

9. Side bun



a. Bring all your hair to one side

b. Wring it like you wring clothes and twist it into a low spiral as you go

c. Secure with a rubber band

10. Twisty (I don’t know what to call it :P)



a. Take a little section of your hair in the front

b. Twist it and secure it at the back of your head with a bobby pin

c. Repeat on the other side

11. Braidy (I don’t know what to call this either :P)



a. Take a little section of your hair in the front

b. Braid it and secure with a rubber band

Another thing I do is combine 2 or more of the above styles to form another hairstyle. For e.g. hun + side braid, quarter pony + pony, twisty + side bun and so on. You could try various permutations and combinations with these 🙂
