The overview: This look is pure summer magic! It's like a gentle breeze captured in hair, perfect for those warm, sunny days when you want to feel effortlessly beautiful. Imagine yourself in a field of flowers, this hairstyle is your perfect companion. It’s romantic, sweet, and has that touch of whimsical charm we all love for a relaxed day out.

The look: What we have here is a lovely braided detail that starts on one side, sweeping across the crown like a delicate headband. It looks like a classic three-strand braid, but it’s been done with a slightly looser hand to give it that soft, full appearance. The braid is then secured at the back, just behind the ear, where it meets the rest of the hair, which has been styled into soft, flowing waves. It’s a beautiful way to keep some hair off your face while letting the rest cascade down.

Step by step tutorial:

• First, I like to start with hair that has a little texture, maybe from the day before or a quick spritz of texturizing spray.
• Take a section of hair from one side, just above your temple. This is where our braid will begin.
• Start a classic three-strand braid, but as you weave each strand, gently pull it apart slightly. This is called 'pancaking' the braid and it gives it that lovely, soft, and full look.
• Continue the braid across your head, guiding it towards the opposite ear, almost like you're creating a crown or a headband.
• Once you reach the other side, secure the end of the braid with a small elastic band. You can hide this later if you like.
• Now, take the rest of your hair and use a curling wand or large barrel iron to create soft, loose waves. I like to leave the very ends straight for a more natural feel.
• Gently brush out the waves with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to blend them together.
• Finally, the best part! Tuck a pretty accessory, like this adorable daisy, right where the braid ends. It’s the perfect finishing touch!

Pro tips: This hairstyle is fantastic for most hair types, especially medium to long hair where you have enough length to create those beautiful waves. It works wonderfully on fine hair if you 'pancake' the braid generously to give it more volume. For thicker hair, it holds its shape really well. Accessorizing is key here – think flowers, delicate pins, or even a thin ribbon woven into the braid. My pro tip for making this last all day? A light mist of flexible hold hairspray all over once it’s done. It keeps everything in place without making it stiff. Plus, those soft waves actually look even better as they loosen up throughout the day!

The overview: This look is pure summer magic! Imagine golden hour light hitting your hair, creating these beautiful, soft waves with a warm, sun-kissed blonde. It's relaxed, effortless, and just screams carefree vibes. Perfect for those long, warm days when you want to feel a little bit glowy and gorgeous without trying too hard.

The look: What I love about this cut is the length, hitting just past the shoulders, which gives it that lovely flowing feel. It's not blunt; there are subtle layers blended in, especially around the face (even though we can't see it here, I can tell!). These layers give the hair movement and stop it from looking too heavy. The color is a beautiful, multi-dimensional blonde. It looks like a soft balayage, with lighter pieces woven through to catch the light, giving it that natural, sun-kissed effect. The roots are a bit darker, which adds depth and makes the lighter pieces really pop.

Step by step tutorial:

• Start with damp hair. I like to apply a good heat protectant spray all over, especially if you're going to use heat.
• Next, I'd add a mousse or a styling cream to give the hair some grip and texture. Scrunch it in from the mid-lengths to the ends.
• Now, here's the fun part: grab your curling wand or flat iron. I'd use a medium barrel size, about 1 to 1.5 inches.
• Take sections of hair and wrap them around the wand, leaving the very ends out for that piecey, undone look. Alternate the direction of the curls for a more natural feel.
• If you're using a flat iron, you can do the same wrapping technique or use the 'pancake' method – clamp and twist the iron as you pull it down the hair.
• Once all your hair is curled, let it cool completely! This is super important for waves to set.
• Then, gently run your fingers through the curls to break them up and blend them into soft waves. A light-hold hairspray can help keep everything in place without making it stiff.

Pro tips: This style is fantastic for medium to thick hair types because the layers help keep it from looking too heavy. It also works beautifully on fine hair if you use the right volumizing products. For accessories, a simple clip or a thin headband could add a sweet touch for an even more casual look. My pro tip? Don't aim for perfect curls! The beauty of this style is its laid-back, slightly undone texture. Embrace a few flyaways; they just add to the charm and make it look so natural and lived-in.

The overview: Hey there, sun-seekers! I'm so excited to share this effortless, breezy look that's perfect for those days when you're chasing the waves or just dreaming of the ocean. It's all about that relaxed, beachy vibe, with gorgeous waves and a touch of sparkle that feels just right for a warm day out. This style is super easy and makes you feel instantly put-together, even when the wind is playing with your hair!

The look: We're working with lovely long layers here, cut to give movement and a natural flow. The texture is key – it’s not perfectly smooth, but has that beautiful, lived-in wave that screams 'I just spent a day at the beach.' The half-up section is pulled back softly, not too tight, so it blends seamlessly with the rest of the hair, creating a gentle shape around the face. It’s all about keeping it soft and natural-looking.

Step by step tutorial:

• First, I love to start with slightly damp hair that has some texture. If your hair is clean and straight, I'd recommend a texturizing spray or some sea salt spray to give it that effortless grit.
• Next, I'll gently gather the top section of your hair, starting from the temples and bringing it back towards the crown. I like to keep it a bit loose and messy, not too precise, to get that soft, undone look.
• Then, I'll secure this section with a simple elastic or bobby pins, depending on how much hold you need. The goal is to create a gentle lift at the back of your head, not a tight ponytail.
• For that extra bit of magic, I'll take these adorable starfish clips and place them right where the half-up section meets the rest of the hair. They add such a cute, beachy detail!
• Finally, I'll give everything a good tousle and maybe a little spritz of hairspray if you're heading into a windy situation. You want it to look like the wind and waves did all the work!

Pro tips: This style is amazing for medium to long hair, especially if you have some natural wave or texture to work with. If your hair is very straight, don't worry! A good texturizing spray or even loosely braiding your hair the night before can give you the perfect base. For accessories, besides these cute starfish clips, you could try shell barrettes, a delicate pearl pin, or even a thin woven headband. My pro tip for making this last all day? Don't be afraid to embrace the little flyaways – they add to the charm! A light hold spray is your best friend for keeping it from falling flat, but remember, a little bit of mess is part of the beauty of this look.

The overview: Hey there, gorgeous! I absolutely love this look – it’s got that effortless, breezy vibe that’s just perfect for a sunny day, whether you're at the beach or just dreaming of one. It’s all about that natural, lived-in feel that looks super stylish without trying too hard.

The look: What we've got here is a beautiful, long cut with layers that are strategically placed. They’re not too choppy, so they blend in really smoothly. The layers start just below the chin and get a bit longer as they go down. This gives the hair fantastic movement and shape, especially when it catches the light.

Step by step tutorial:

• Start with damp hair, and I like to add a texturizing spray or sea salt spray. This gives it that beachy, undone texture I love.
• Using a blow dryer with a nozzle, I like to direct the airflow down the hair shaft. This helps to smooth things out while keeping that natural texture.
• Next, I grab a medium-barrel curling iron or wand. I take sections of hair and wrap them around the barrel, but I don't go all the way to the ends. I leave the tips out for a more relaxed, beachy wave.
• Once the hair is curled, I let it cool completely. Then, I gently run my fingers through it to break up the curls and create that soft, lived-in look. A little flexible hairspray will keep it in place without making it stiff.

Pro tips: This hairstyle is amazing for medium to thick hair types, as the layers help to remove weight and give it shape. It also works wonderfully for finer hair if you use a good volumizing spray. For accessories, simple gold hoops like these are a dream, or even a stylish bandana could add a fun touch. My pro tip? Don't over-style it! The beauty of this look is its natural, undone feel, so embrace a little bit of imperfection.

The overview: Hey there, beach babes and sun-seekers! I wanted to share a look that's just perfect for those breezy days by the ocean, or really, any time you want to feel effortlessly chic. This style keeps your hair off your face while still showing off those gorgeous locks. It’s got this relaxed, sophisticated vibe that I absolutely adore.

The look: What I love about this style is how simple it looks, but it has a bit of technique to it. We’re basically taking sections from the front, twisting them back, and securing them. It’s a half-up, half-down situation, but with a little twist – literally! The twist adds texture and keeps it from looking too plain. Then, we’re using a chic claw clip to hold it all together, which is super on-trend and practical.

Step by step tutorial:

• First, start with slightly wavy or textured hair. If your hair is straight, you might want to add some waves with a curling iron or texturizing spray.
• Next, part your hair roughly down the middle or slightly to the side, whichever you prefer.
• Take a section of hair from one side, just above your ear, and twist it backwards. Gently pull the twist apart a little to make it look fuller.
• Do the same on the other side, taking another section and twisting it back. Try to make the twists meet or overlap slightly at the back.
• Gather both twisted sections together at the back of your head, right around where you'd normally put a ponytail.
• Carefully secure the gathered twists with a stylish claw clip. Make sure it feels snug but not too tight.
• Gently tug at any pieces around your face to frame it nicely, and you're all set!

Pro tips: This look is fantastic for medium to long hair, especially if it has a bit of natural wave or texture. If your hair is super straight, a little texturizing spray or some loose curls beforehand will work wonders. For accessories, a creamy, matte-finish claw clip like this one is perfect. You could also try a tortoiseshell clip for a classic look. My pro tip? Don't aim for perfection with the twists; a little bit of looseness makes it look more natural and lived-in. And a light mist of hairspray can help keep those twists in place all day!

The overview: Oh, this look is just pure summer bliss! It's that perfect, undone vibe you get after a day spent by the ocean. I love how the sun-kissed highlights blend with the natural texture. It screams vacation and carefree days, and honestly, who doesn't want a bit of that year-round?

The look: What we're seeing here is a beautiful medium-length cut, hitting right around the collarbone. It’s been cut with some subtle, long layers throughout. These layers are key because they give the hair movement and prevent it from looking too heavy. There's no harsh bluntness; it’s all soft and flowing, which lets those natural waves do their thing. The color looks like a gorgeous balayage, with lighter pieces woven through, mimicking natural sun-bleaching.

Step by step tutorial:

• Start with damp hair. I like to towel dry it gently, just to get rid of excess water.
• Apply a sea salt spray or a wave-enhancing mousse all over. I find this really helps to amp up the natural texture.
• Scrunch your hair upwards towards your scalp. This is where you really encourage those waves to form.
• If you have a bit more time, you can twist sections of your hair into little buns or braids and let them air dry for a more defined wave.
• Once your hair is dry, I love to gently break up any clumps with my fingers. A little bit of tousling is exactly what we want!
• For extra hold and shine, a light mist of hairspray or a finishing serum can be lovely, but keep it minimal so it still looks natural.

Pro tips: This style is absolutely perfect for anyone with natural waves or curls, especially those with medium to thick hair. Fine hair can still rock this, but you might need a bit more product to get that volume. For accessories, a simple shell clip or a colorful bandana tied around the head would be adorable! My best tip? Don't overthink it! The beauty of this look is its natural, effortless feel. A little bit of sea salt spray is your best friend here, even on non-beach days.

The overview: Hey there, lovely! I'm so excited to share this super cute hairstyle with you. It's perfect for those sunny days when you want your hair out of your face but still want to look totally chic. Imagine yourself on a pier, with the ocean breeze gently blowing – this style is exactly that vibe!

The look: This look is a beautiful blend of a classic French braid that wraps around the crown of your head, leading into a sleek, high ponytail. The braid itself is quite defined, sitting snugly against the scalp, which really helps to lift and frame the face. Then, all the hair is gathered into a high pony, giving it a sporty yet polished feel.

Step by step tutorial:

• First, I like to start with hair that has a little bit of texture, maybe from day-old styling or a quick spritz of texturizing spray. It just makes braiding so much easier!
• Next, take a section of hair from your hairline near your temple. This is where your French braid will begin.
• Start a classic French braid, adding small sections of hair from the front and sides as you go, working your way around the crown of your head. Keep the braid tight and close to your scalp for that clean look.
• Continue the braid until you reach the other side of your head, near your ear. Secure the end of the braid temporarily with a small clip.
• Now, gather all the remaining hair, including the braid, into a high ponytail right at the crown of your head. Make sure it's smooth and tight!
• Once your ponytail is secured with a hair tie, you can wrap a piece of hair around the tie to hide it for a seamless finish.
• For an extra touch, you can gently pull on the braid to make it look a bit fuller and more relaxed, or leave it crisp and neat. A little bit of hairspray will keep everything in place all day long!

Pro tips: This style works beautifully on most hair types, but it looks especially amazing on medium to thick hair because it gives the braid more substance. If you have finer hair, a bit of volumizing powder or texturizing spray beforehand can really help the braid stand out. Accessories? I love the idea of adding a chic black band or even a colorful scarf wrapped around the ponytail base to make it pop! For a pro tip, I always recommend using a flexible hold hairspray. It keeps everything beautifully in place without making your hair feel stiff, so you can still enjoy that lovely natural movement.

The overview: Hey there! Looking for a super chic, effortless style that screams summer vibes? This look is everything! It's that perfect blend of casual cool and a touch of glam, like you just stepped off a yacht or a breezy beach walk. I absolutely love how it feels so natural and lived-in, yet totally put-together. It’s the kind of style that makes you feel amazing, no matter where you are.

The look: So, what we have here is a bob that falls right around the jawline, maybe a little shorter. The magic is in the texture – it's not perfectly smooth, but has these lovely, soft waves and little bends throughout. I call it 'lived-in texture.' The ends are slightly piecey, which gives it that modern, edgy feel. It's basically a grown-out bob that’s been encouraged to be a little messy in the best way possible. We've kept the color natural-looking, with hints of lighter pieces that catch the sun, adding to that sun-kissed effect.

Step by step tutorial:

• Start with damp hair. If your hair is dry, give it a good mist with some water.
• Grab a sea salt spray or a texturizing spray. This is your secret weapon for that beachy look!
• Generously spray it all over, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. Don't be shy!
• Now, gently scrunch your hair with your hands. I like to kind of twist little sections as I scrunch to encourage those waves.
• If you have a bit more time, you can take small sections and twist them around your finger, then let them go to create more defined bends.
• Let your hair air dry as much as possible. If you need to speed things up, use a diffuser on a low heat and low speed setting, scrunching as you go.
• Once it's dry, give it one last gentle scrunch to break up any stiffness.
• For the final touch, I’ve added this super delicate gold chain that just tucks behind the ear and lays across the back of the head. It's the perfect subtle bling!

Pro tips: This style is fantastic for most hair types, but it really shines on those with a natural wave or texture. If your hair is super straight, you might need a bit more product and maybe even a curling wand to help create those waves. It’s also amazing for fine hair because the texture makes it look fuller! For accessories, a dainty chain like this is perfect, but you could also try a thin metallic headband or even a couple of small, sparkly pins placed strategically. My pro tip for making it last? Avoid over-brushing once it's styled! Just use your fingers to separate pieces. And a little bit of dry shampoo at the roots can add even more volume and texture if you need a refresh.

The overview: How gorgeous are these boho braids with beachy waves? I just love how they scream vacation vibes and effortless style. It’s like capturing a perfect sunny day and putting it right into your hair. This look is all about embracing a free-spirited, playful mood, perfect for when you're feeling adventurous or just want to add a little sunshine to your day.

The look: What we have here is a beautiful blend of two distinct textures. The top part of the hair is styled into neat, small box braids, which gives a really cool, structured look. Then, as we move down, the hair transitions into loose, natural-looking waves and curls. This contrast between the tight braids and the flowing waves is what makes this hairstyle so eye-catching and dynamic. It’s a clever way to add volume and movement while keeping things super stylish.

Step by step tutorial:

• First, you'll want to start with clean, dry hair. If your hair is super straight, you might want to add a bit of texturizing spray or mousse to give it some grip.
• Next, section your hair. I like to start by creating small, neat sections at the top of the head where the braids will begin. Keep these sections square and about the size you want your braids to be.
• Now, it’s time for the braiding! You'll take each section and create a classic three-strand box braid. Make sure to braid them tightly at the root for that clean look.
• Continue braiding all the way down your scalp, following the shape of your head. You can decide how far down you want the braids to go – in this look, they stop about halfway down.
• For the remaining hair, you'll want to create those beautiful beachy waves. I love using a curling wand or even just braiding damp hair and letting it air dry. For this style, a large barrel curling iron works wonders.
• Wrap sections of the loose hair around the curling iron, holding for just a few seconds, and then release. You want a soft, undone wave, not a perfect curl.
• Once all your hair is waved, gently run your fingers through it to break up the curls and create that natural, effortless look. A light-hold hairspray can help keep everything in place without making it stiff.
• Lastly, I love adding cute little details like these shell charms. You can slide them onto a few of the braids for an extra touch of boho charm and personality. It really completes the beachy vibe!

Pro tips: This hairstyle is fantastic for most hair types, especially if you have medium to long hair. It’s a great option for those with natural waves or curls, as it enhances their texture. If your hair is straighter, using a good texturizing spray or sea salt spray before curling will be your best friend. For accessories, think shells, beads, or even colorful threads woven into the braids. My pro tip for making this last? Sleep with your braids loosely tied up in a silk scarf or bonnet to protect the waves and keep the braids fresh. And don’t be afraid to refresh those waves with a little dry shampoo or water spray if they start to fall!

The overview: Hey there, gorgeous! I just adore this look for those warm, sunny days when you want to feel put-together without being fussy. It's that perfect blend of relaxed and polished, like you just stepped out of a breezy beachside cafe. This style is all about letting your natural texture shine while keeping a little bit of hair off your face. It’s super easy and adds such a romantic, effortless vibe to any outfit. Seriously, it’s my go-to when I want to look chic in a flash!

The look: What I love about this cut is how it frames the face. The bangs are soft and wispy, kind of a curtain style, blended seamlessly into layers that start just below the cheekbones. These layers give the hair movement and body, especially when it's styled with gentle waves. The length is kept long, which allows for that beautiful cascade of texture. It’s all about creating a lived-in feel, not too perfect, just naturally beautiful.

Step by step tutorial:

• Start with slightly damp hair. If your hair is dry, just spritz it with some water.
• I like to add a little texturizing spray or mousse to give it some grip and bounce.
• Gently pull back the top section of your hair, from your temples up to the crown.
• Smooth it back loosely, not too tight, and secure it with a pretty clip or barrette. This one looks so cute!
• If your hair isn't naturally wavy, use a large barrel curling iron or wand to create loose, soft waves. Wrap the hair around the barrel, leaving the ends out for a more relaxed look.
• Once your waves have cooled, gently run your fingers through them to break them up and make them look more natural.
• Finish with a light mist of hairspray to hold everything in place without making it stiff.

Pro tips: This style is fantastic for most hair types, especially if you have a bit of natural wave or texture. If your hair is super straight, you might need a bit more product or to use a curling tool to get the waves to hold. For finer hair, I’d suggest a volumizing spray at the roots before you start styling. Accessorizing with a delicate barrette, like the one here, is just perfection! It adds a touch of sparkle and elegance. My pro tip? Don't aim for perfection! The beauty of this style is its undone, natural feel. Embrace the flyaways; they just add to the charm!

The overview: Hey there, sunshine! I'm so excited to share this look with you. It's the perfect hairstyle for a day by the ocean, or honestly, any day you want to feel effortlessly cool and a little bit bohemian. It's got that relaxed, lived-in vibe that just screams summer fun.

The look: So, what we have here is a classic fishtail braid. What makes it special is how it's done a bit loosely, giving it that beautiful, textured, and slightly undone look. We're keeping the braid itself quite chunky and defined, but we're also pulling out a few face-framing pieces to soften the overall style and give it that perfectly imperfect boho feel. The hair color is a gorgeous sun-kissed blonde, which really enhances the texture of the braid.

Step by step tutorial:

• First, I love starting with day-old hair if you have it, or you can add some dry shampoo for texture.
• Gather all your hair to one side or low down your back. You can start with a ponytail if that helps keep everything neat.
• Now, let's divide your hair into two equal sections. This is the base of our fishtail.
• Take a small piece from the outside of the left section and cross it over to join the right section.
• Then, take a small piece from the outside of the right section and cross it over to join the left section.
• Keep repeating this, taking small pieces and crossing them over, alternating sides.
• As you braid, I like to gently pull apart the sections a little bit. This gives you that fuller, more relaxed look we're going for.
• Continue all the way down to the ends. Secure it with a hair tie, or even better, a cute leather cord like in the picture for that extra boho touch!
• Finally, gently pull out a few strands around your face to frame it beautifully. This is key for that effortless vibe!

Pro tips: This braid looks amazing on almost everyone, especially if you have medium to long hair. It's fantastic for fine hair because pulling it apart makes it look so much thicker! For a more polished look, you can use a tighter braid and fewer face-framing pieces. If you want to amp up the boho vibe, try adding a delicate chain or a flowy ribbon tied around the base of the braid. My best tip for making it last? Use a texturizing spray or some sea salt spray before you start braiding to give your hair that grip and grit. A little bit of flexible hold hairspray at the end will keep those wisps in place without making it stiff.

The overview: Hey there, gorgeous! I absolutely adore this look for a breezy day. It's got this effortless, romantic vibe that just screams 'coastal getaway' or 'lazy Sunday brunch.'

The look: We're working with beautiful, loose waves here, kind of like mermaid hair but softer. The hair is gathered from the sides, creating a soft, textured half-up style. It’s not too tight, keeping that relaxed feel. The key is the gentle pull, allowing some pieces to frame the face and giving it that natural flow.

Step by step tutorial:

• First, I like to start with hair that has some texture. If your hair is straight, a quick wave with a curling iron or even braiding it overnight can give you this lovely base.
• Next, I take sections from both sides of your head, starting near your temples. Gently pull them back towards the crown of your head.
• Don't pull too tight! I want you to aim for a soft, relaxed gather. You can even pull out a few face-framing pieces for that extra touch of softness.
• Once you've got your sections gathered where you like them, secure them with a clear elastic or a small snag-free tie. I like to do this a little lower on the head to keep it feeling casual.
• Now for the super cute part! Take a pretty cream or ivory ribbon – I love satin or a grosgrain for this – and tie it around the base of your gathered hair, creating a sweet bow. Make sure the ends of the ribbon hang down nicely with your loose hair.
• Finally, give it a gentle tousle and maybe a spritz of texturizing spray to enhance those waves and ensure it stays put without looking stiff. Perfection!

Pro tips: This style is absolutely divine on medium to long hair, especially if you have natural waves or curls like this! It really lets those textures shine. For finer hair, a bit of texturizing spray or dry shampoo before you start will add volume and grip. You could totally switch up the accessory too – a delicate lace ribbon, a silk scarf, or even a simple twine would give it a slightly different, but equally charming, feel. My biggest tip? Embrace the imperfections! This look is all about looking beautifully undone, so don't stress if it's not perfectly neat.

The overview: Hey there, sunshine lovers! I'm so excited to share this super cute and easy hairstyle that's perfect for those breezy beach days or whenever you want to feel a little extra special. It's a fun twist on a classic ponytail, and I absolutely adore the playful, bubbly look it creates. It's chic, it's easy, and it totally keeps your hair off your neck when the temps rise!

The look: What we have here is essentially a high ponytail that's been transformed into a series of 'bubbles'. I start by gathering all the hair smoothly to the back of the head, creating a sleek base. Then, I use clear elastics at even intervals down the length of the ponytail. The magic happens when you gently pull apart the hair between each elastic, creating these gorgeous, rounded 'bubble' sections. It gives the illusion of volume and texture, making a simple ponytail look so much more intricate and styled.

Step by step tutorial:

• First, I like to brush out any tangles and decide where I want my ponytail to sit – usually high up on the back of the head for this look. A good, firm ponytail is key!
• Next, I secure it with a strong elastic. Make sure it's tight so the bubbles stay put.
• Now for the fun part: grab your clear elastics. I usually place them about 2-3 inches apart, depending on the length of the hair.
• After securing each section with an elastic, I gently tug on the hair between each bubble. I'm talking a little pull here, a little pull there, all around the section, until it looks nice and rounded and full.
• I repeat this all the way down the ponytail until you have that signature bubble effect.
• To finish, I like to add a little something extra. In this case, a cute little shell charm clipped right at the end of the tail adds the perfect touch of beachy flair!

Pro tips: This bubble ponytail style is fantastic for most hair types, especially medium to long hair, as it gives the illusion of thickness and length. If you have finer hair, you might want to tease the sections a little before pulling them apart to create more volume. For accessories, think beyond charms! You could use colourful ribbons, scrunchies, or even small flowers woven in between the bubbles. My pro tip for making this last all day, especially in the heat? A light mist of flexible hold hairspray after you've created your bubbles will keep everything in place without making it stiff. And remember, don't be afraid to really pull those sections out – that's what gives it the beautiful shape!

The overview: This look is all about that relaxed, breezy vibe, perfect for a day out or when you just want to feel put-together without trying too hard. It’s that go-to style that looks like you just stepped off a beach and into a cute cafe, you know? Super easy, super chic!

The look: We're working with a lob, or a long bob, that falls just around the collarbone. The ends are softly cut, not blunt, so they blend beautifully. Then, I've added some gentle, face-framing layers around the front and throughout the hair to give it movement. The texture is a natural, undone wave – not too perfect, just enough to catch the light and give it that effortless feel. The hair is parted slightly off-center, which adds to the relaxed look.

Step by step tutorial:

• Start with damp hair. If you have finer hair, I’d suggest a little volumizing spray at the roots and maybe some texturizing spray all over.
• Gently twist sections of your hair away from your face. You can use your fingers or a curling iron on a low setting for a looser wave. Don't overdo it; we want it to look natural!
• Once you’ve got your waves, let them cool completely. Then, softly run your fingers through them to break them up and make them look more lived-in.
• Take a section of hair from the side, just above your ear, and gently pull it back. Secure it with a beautiful, simple barrette like this one. I love how it adds a little polished detail without being fussy.
• Gently loosen any flyaways around your face to enhance that soft, dreamy look. A tiny bit of smoothing serum can tame frizz but keep the texture.

Pro tips: This style is amazing for most hair types, especially if you have a natural wave or texture. If your hair is super straight, you might want to use a curling wand to create the waves. For thicker hair, a texturizing spray really helps to avoid it looking too heavy. I love adding a simple gold or silver barrette like this one, but a pretty clip or even a small silk scarf tied at the back would also look stunning! To make it last, try sleeping on a silk pillowcase to keep the waves from getting too messy overnight.

The overview: Hey there, gorgeous! This look is all about embracing that active, breezy vibe, perfect for when you're out exploring or just enjoying a sunny day. It's a hairstyle that's both practical and super cute, keeping your hair out of your face while looking effortlessly stylish. I just love how this hairstyle frames the face and has that perfect blend of sporty and chic.

The look: We're working with classic Dutch braids here, starting right from the hairline and going all the way down. The braids are medium in thickness, giving them a nice presence without being too heavy. They're neatly sectioned and pulled snugly, which is key to keeping them in place. The braiding technique keeps everything tucked in, and the end result is two strong, defined braids that feel secure and look amazing.

Step by step tutorial:

• First, I like to start with hair that has a little texture, maybe from the day before or a quick spritz of texturizing spray. This helps the braids grip better.
• Next, I part the hair right down the middle, creating two equal sections from the front all the way to the nape of the neck. A clean part makes a big difference!
• Now for the braids! For each side, I take a small section of hair near the hairline and divide it into three strands. This is where the Dutch braiding magic happens – you'll be crossing the outer strands under the middle strand each time.
• As you continue down, pick up small pieces of hair from the sides and add them to the outer strands before crossing them under. Keep it tight and close to the scalp for that sleek look.
• Keep braiding all the way down to the ends, making sure to keep the tension even. Once you reach the ends, secure each braid with a small, clear elastic or a matching hair tie. I love using those tiny silver ones for a subtle pop!
• For a softer look, you can gently pull on the edges of the braids to make them a little looser and wider. It gives a more relaxed, lived-in feel.

Pro tips: This look is fantastic for almost all hair types, especially if your hair is medium to thick. It works best on hair that's at least shoulder-length to get those nice, long braids. If you have finer hair, a little teasing at the roots before you start can give you more volume. For accessories, you could add some colorful ribbons woven into the braids for a fun twist, or even some small, delicate charms clipped onto the ends. My pro tip for making them last all day? A light mist of flexible-hold hairspray over the finished braids will help keep any flyaways in check and give you that long-lasting hold, even on a windy day!

The overview: This look is all about effortless, sun-kissed vibes! Imagine a perfect day at the beach, with the gentle sea breeze giving your hair that natural, lived-in texture. It’s relaxed, it’s chic, and it feels like pure vacation mode.

The look: We're looking at a beautiful medium-length cut, probably just hitting the shoulders or a little below. The ends are soft, with subtle layers that give it movement without looking too 'done'. The color is a gorgeous bronde – a mix of brown and blonde – that looks like it’s been kissed by the sun. The waves are loose and natural, not too uniform, giving that perfectly imperfect beachy look.

Step by step tutorial:

• Start with damp hair, whether it’s freshly washed or you've just misted it with water.
• I love to use a sea salt spray or a texturizing spray – this is key for that authentic beachy feel. Just spritz it all over.
• Then, I like to gently twist sections of your hair. Don’t make them too perfect; just twist and let them go.
• For more definition, you can grab a larger barrel curling wand and wrap a few random pieces around it, leaving the ends out. This adds that extra bit of texture.
• Once your hair is dry or mostly dry, I like to flip my head upside down and gently tousle everything with my fingers. This helps break up any curling iron marks and creates a fuller, more natural shape.
• Finish with a light-hold hairspray or a shine serum to tame any flyaways and add a healthy gloss.

Pro tips: This style is fantastic for most hair types, but it truly shines on those with a natural wave or slight texture already. If your hair is super straight, you might need a bit more product and a curling iron to get the waves to hold. For accessories, a simple shell clip or a colorful bandana would be absolutely adorable and take this look to the next level! My pro tip? Don't overthink it! The beauty of this style is its 'undone' feel. Embrace a few flyaways – they’re part of the charm!

The overview: Hey there! This look is just perfect for those warm, sunny days when you want your hair off your neck but still want to feel super chic and put-together. It’s got this effortless, romantic vibe that makes you feel like you’re on a European vacation, even if you’re just heading to brunch. I love how it combines classic elegance with a touch of nature-inspired beauty. It’s the kind of style that’s so versatile – dress it up or down, it always looks amazing!

The look: This style is all about a beautifully executed twisted knot, sitting neatly at the nape of the neck. It looks like a French twist that's been artfully coiled and secured. You can see subtle braiding or twisting incorporated into the sections as they're brought up and around. The texture is soft and slightly undone, giving it that lived-in, sophisticated feel. It’s not too tight, allowing for a bit of softness around the face if you choose to leave a few pieces out.

Step by step tutorial:

• Start by brushing your hair to remove any tangles. A little texture spray or dry shampoo can add grip if your hair is very silky.
• Gather your hair at the nape of your neck as if you were going to make a low ponytail. Don't make it too tight; we want a relaxed feel.
• Begin twisting the gathered hair upwards, away from your neck. You can twist it as one big section or divide it into two smaller twists for more texture.
• As you twist, start coiling the hair around the base of where your ponytail would have been, tucking the ends in as you go. Think of creating a neat, but not overly perfect, bun.
• Secure the coil with bobby pins. I like to use pins that match my hair color so they disappear, or you can use decorative pins for a little sparkle.
• Gently pull at a few small pieces around the bun and your hairline to soften the look and add that effortless touch.
• Finally, add a delicate hair accessory, like this lovely leaf pin, to the side of the bun for a beautiful finishing detail. It just elevates the whole style!

Pro tips: This style works wonderfully on medium to long hair and looks especially lovely on those with a bit of natural wave or texture. If you have very fine hair, I’d recommend using a volumizing spray before you start or a texturizing powder to give it more substance to hold the twist. For thicker hair, it’s a great way to manage volume and keep it looking sleek. Accessories are key here! Besides a leaf pin, you could try a delicate chain, a pearl-embellished clip, or even a small flower. To make it last all day, especially in warm weather, a light-hold hairspray is your best friend. Just a gentle mist will keep everything in place without making it stiff.

The overview: This look is all about that relaxed, 'just-came-from-the-beach' vibe! It’s perfect for those sunny days when you want your hair out of your face but still want to look chic. I love how it captures that effortless, carefree feeling, like you're on vacation.

The look: We're working with soft, textured layers that give this cut a lot of movement. The overall shape is a bit shaggy, with the ends slightly thinned out to keep it light. It’s not super precise, which is exactly what gives it that natural, lived-in look. The hair has been styled with loose, undone waves.

Step by step tutorial:

• First, I like to start with slightly damp or dry hair. If your hair is freshly washed, I’d recommend adding a sea salt spray to give it some grit and texture.
• Next, I gather the top half of your hair, from about your temples upwards. Don't pull it too tight; we want it to look relaxed.
• Then, I twist this section gently and secure it with a cute claw clip. A tortoise shell print clip like this one is always a winner!
• Finally, I like to pull out a few small pieces around the face to frame it and add to that undone, bohemian feel. You can also gently tug at a few strands in the secured section for more volume.

Pro tips: This style is fantastic for most hair types, especially if you have a bit of natural wave or texture. It works wonderfully on medium to long hair. Accessorizing with a stylish claw clip, like this tortoiseshell one, is key! For finer hair, a texturizing spray is your best friend to add that fullness. To make it last, I suggest avoiding brushing it out too much once styled. Embrace the texture!

The overview: Oh my gosh, I absolutely adore this look! It's just perfect for a sunny day out, whether you're hitting a festival, a picnic, or just enjoying a warm afternoon. It has that effortlessly cool, boho vibe that feels so free-spirited and fun. The combination of braids and a relaxed top knot is just genius for keeping your hair looking amazing while staying totally comfortable.

The look: So, what we have here is a super cute half-up, half-down style. The top section is gathered and twisted into a beautifully messy, slightly undone top knot. But the real magic is in the details! There are these delicate little braids starting from the hairline, sweeping back and connecting into the main bun. I love how they add texture and interest, breaking up the main section of hair. The rest of the hair is left down, with a lovely, loose wave that looks so natural and beachy.

Step by step tutorial:

• First, I like to start with slightly damp or dry hair that has a bit of texture. If your hair is super silky, a little texturizing spray can work wonders!
• Next, I section off the top part of your hair where you want your top knot to sit. Think about where you want it to be – higher up or a little lower, depending on your preference.
• Now for the fun part: those little braids! I usually take two or three thin sections from the front, right near your temples, and create some simple three-strand braids. I don't pull them super tight; a little looseness keeps that boho feel.
• Gently guide these braids back towards the crown of your head. You can secure them with tiny elastics or bobby pins discreetly.
• Take all the hair from your top section, including the ends of your braids, and twist it into a loose, messy bun. Don't aim for perfection here – the more undone, the better!
• Wrap the twisted hair around itself to create the knot shape and secure it with bobby pins or another elastic. You can pull out a few little wisps around your face for that extra soft look.
• For the hair that's left down, I love to add some gentle waves. A curling wand or even just braiding damp hair overnight can give you this lovely, relaxed texture.
• Finally, if you have some cute little gold beads or hair cuffs, slide a few onto some of the braids or around the bun. It just adds that perfect finishing touch!

Pro tips: This style is absolutely fantastic for most hair types, especially if you have medium to long hair. It's brilliant for wavy or even straighter hair types that can hold a curl or texture well. If you have fine hair, adding some texturizing spray or dry shampoo beforehand will give you the grip you need. For accessories, those little gold beads or cuffs I mentioned? Total game-changers! They elevate the look so much. My pro tip for making this last all day is to use a light-hold hairspray once you're done. It'll keep everything in place without making it stiff. And don't be afraid to embrace a few flyaways – they're part of the charm!

The overview: Oh, this look is just everything for a sunny day! It’s that effortless, wanderlust vibe that makes you feel like you're on a vacation, even if you're just heading to the farmer's market. I absolutely adore how it combines a relaxed texture with a pop of boho charm.

The look: We're talking about a classic braid here, but with a twist – literally! It’s a Dutch braid, which means the strands are crossed under each other instead of over. This technique makes the braid stand out and look fuller, giving it that gorgeous 3D effect. I’ve kept it a little messy and undone on purpose, pulling out some face-framing pieces and loosening up the braid itself to create that soft, textured feel. It’s all about embracing a bit of imperfection!

Step by step tutorial:

• Start by prepping your hair with a texturizing spray or dry shampoo. This gives it grip and that lived-in look I love.
• Gather your hair to one side, as if you're going to do a regular side braid. Leave a few wisps around your face if you like!
• Begin a Dutch braid. Take a small section from the top, split it into three, and cross the outside strands under the middle one.
• As you continue braiding down, add in small pieces of hair from the sides, always crossing them under the middle strand.
• Once you reach the nape of your neck, continue braiding the rest of your hair as a normal three-strand braid.
• Now for the fun part! Gently pull and loosen the sections of the braid, starting from the bottom and working your way up. This creates that beautiful volume and texture.
• Take a soft, lightweight scarf – a mustard yellow or ochre would be gorgeous, like in the picture – and wrap it around the base of the braid. Tie it off securely, letting the ends hang loose. It adds such a unique, stylish touch!

Pro tips: This hairstyle is fantastic for medium to long hair. It works especially well if you have a bit of natural wave or texture, as it enhances that boho feel. For straighter hair, the texturizing spray is your best friend! If you don't have a scarf, you could also use a ribbon or even a thin strip of fabric. To make it last all day, a light mist of flexible hairspray can help keep those face-framing pieces in place without making the braid stiff. It’s the perfect blend of chic and casual!

The overview: This look is all about effortless elegance, perfect for those warm, breezy evenings. It’s polished, sophisticated, and keeps your hair perfectly out of your face while you enjoy yourself. I just love how a simple ponytail can be elevated to something so chic with just a few thoughtful touches.

The look: The hair is meticulously sectioned and smoothed to achieve a super sleek finish. It's gathered into a high, tight ponytail that sits right at the crown, giving a lifted effect. The key detail here is the clean, sharp middle part at the front, which adds structure and polish. The ponytail itself is smooth and straight, creating a sharp silhouette.

Step by step tutorial:

• Start with freshly washed, dry hair. I like to run a smoothing serum through it to tame any flyaways and add shine.
• Create a sharp middle part from your forehead all the way to the crown. Make sure it's super clean!
• Brush all your hair back towards the crown, keeping the sides really smooth and flat. You want no bumps!
• Secure your hair into a high, tight ponytail. I use a strong hair tie to make sure it stays put.
• Wrap a stylish gold band around the base of the ponytail. This is the perfect finishing touch that really makes the look pop.
• For extra shine and to seal the deal, give your ponytail a light mist of finishing hairspray.

Pro tips: This style works best for medium to long hair that has some weight to it. If your hair is very fine, you might want to add a little texturizing spray before you start to give it some grip. It's amazing for any hair type that can hold a sleek finish. For accessories, this look is already elevated with the gold band, but you could also try a delicate chain necklace to complement it. My pro tip? If you have any frizz or flyaways, a tiny bit of hairspray on your hands before you smooth your hair back can work wonders!

The overview: Oh, I just love this look! It’s the perfect way to keep cool and look fabulous when the weather heats up. This is my go-to for beach days or exploring a sunny city. It's effortless, chic, and lets your beautiful curls shine!

The look: We’re starting with beautifully defined curls, all gathered up into a high, voluminous top knot. The trick here is to let those curls do their thing – we’re not aiming for perfect smoothness, but rather texture and height. The scrunchie adds that soft, trendy touch, gathering everything up without flattening the shape. It’s all about celebrating the natural bounce and shape of curly hair.

Step by step tutorial:

• First, I like to start with dry hair, maybe day-old hair is best for grip!
• Gather all your hair up high, towards the crown of your head. Don't pull too tight; we want to keep that volume.
• Twist your hair gently, and then start wrapping it around itself to form a loose bun. Let some tendrils fall out naturally.
• Don't worry about making it perfect! A few playful curls escaping is part of the charm.
• Now for the fun part: take a soft, oversized scrunchie – I love a satin or silk one for this. Wrap it around the base of your bun a couple of times.
• Gently pull on some of the curls around your face and the top of the bun to create even more fullness and that perfectly undone look.
• Finally, give a little spritz of flexible hold hairspray to keep everything in place without making it stiff.

Pro tips: This hairstyle is absolutely amazing for anyone with natural curls, especially medium to long lengths. If your hair is straighter, a little texturizing spray can help you get that grip and volume. I adore adding a beautiful scrunchie, like this creamy one, to elevate the look. For a dressed-up vibe, try a velvet or embellished scrunchie! My pro tip? Don't be afraid to play with it and pull out those pieces to get the exact shape you want. It's meant to look a little messy, in the best way possible!

The overview: This look is all about that cool, effortless vibe! It's got a bit of a retro feel but is totally modern and perfect for sunny days. I love how it's playful yet chic, with a touch of rock and roll edge. It screams confidence and freedom!

The look: We've got a really textured, shaggy cut here. The top layers are shorter and wispy, giving it that lived-in look. Then, it gradually gets longer towards the back, creating that signature mullet shape. The ends are left a bit piecey and wispy, which keeps it from looking too heavy and adds to the overall movement.

Step by step tutorial:

• Start with damp hair. I like to use a texturizing spray or a sea salt spray and scrunch it in to give it some grip and that effortless wave.
• If you have a bit more time, you can use a diffuser attachment on your blow dryer. Gently scrunch your hair as it dries to enhance those natural waves and texture.
• For extra definition and hold, I'll sometimes take a small amount of texturizing paste or wax and twist small sections of hair. This really brings out those piecey ends.
• Don't aim for perfection! This style is all about embracing a little bit of messiness and individuality. Run your fingers through it to blend and finish.

Pro tips: This cut works wonderfully on most hair types, but I find it especially fantastic on fine to medium hair because the layers add volume and shape. It's also great for those who want a low-maintenance style that still looks put-together. For a bit of extra flair, I love seeing this with some simple hoop earrings, just like in the picture! My biggest tip for keeping this look fresh? Don't over-wash it! Day-old hair often styles even better with a bit of texturizing product.

The overview: Imagine yourself in a sun-drenched meadow, a gentle breeze playing with your hair. This look is all about capturing that effortless, free-spirited boho vibe. It’s romantic, whimsical, and perfect for any outdoor celebration or a day when you just want to feel a little magical. It’s a style that feels totally lived-in and soft, yet intentionally styled. I just love how the little flowers add such a delicate, natural touch that really brings the whole look together. It’s like a breath of fresh air for your hair!

The look: We're looking at a beautifully textured, loose updo. It’s not a super sleek bun; instead, it’s all about soft twists and gentle coils that create a relaxed, almost undone feel. The hair is gathered towards the nape of the neck, with pieces artfully tucked and pinned. Some lovely tendrils are left out around the face and at the nape to frame the look softly. These little wisps add so much movement and a touch of romance. What really makes this hairstyle special are the fresh flowers and sprigs of lavender woven throughout. They're strategically placed to look like they've just been gathered and tucked in, creating a gorgeous, natural crown effect.

Step by step tutorial:

• Start with wavy or curled hair. If your hair is straight, I’d suggest adding some loose waves with a curling iron or wand first. This texture is key for that soft, boho feel.
• Gently gather your hair towards the back, like you’re starting a low ponytail but don’t pull it all the way through. Twist sections of the hair and loosely pin them up, creating soft loops and coils. Think messy but pretty!
• As you pin, leave out a few face-framing pieces around your temples and some longer strands at the nape of your neck. These are crucial for that relaxed, romantic silhouette.
• Once the updo is in place, it’s time for the flowers! Use bobby pins to carefully secure small, fresh flowers and sprigs of lavender throughout the bun. Place them like you’re decorating a cake, focusing on areas that need a little extra interest or to fill in gaps.
• Give your hair a final gentle mist of hairspray to hold everything in place without making it stiff. You want it to look soft and touchable.

Pro tips: This style is absolutely perfect for medium to long hair, especially if it has a natural wave or you can easily add some. It works beautifully on fine hair too, as the textured updo and flowers add volume and interest. For accessories, real flowers are, of course, the star here! You could also use delicate floral pins if fresh flowers aren’t practical. My pro tip? Don’t aim for perfection! The beauty of this boho look is its slightly undone, effortless charm. If a few pieces fall out during the day, just tuck them back in loosely. It only adds to the romantic, natural vibe. And for longevity, a light spritz of flexible-hold hairspray is your best friend!

The overview: This look is pure bohemian magic! I absolutely love how this braided crown feels so natural and effortlessly beautiful, perfect for a dreamy outdoor wedding or a relaxed garden party. It has this whimsical, romantic vibe that just makes you feel like you've stepped out of a fairytale.

The look: We're starting with a classic Dutch braid, also known as an inside-out braid, but we're doing it a bit differently. Instead of braiding all the way down, we create a crown shape that wraps around the head. The braid is intentionally kept a little loose and textured, giving it that soft, undone feel. The hair underneath is gently waved to add movement and complement the braid.

Step by step tutorial:

• First, I like to prep the hair with a texturizing spray to give it some grip and volume.
• Next, I'll part the hair down the middle or slightly off to the side, depending on your face shape.
• Then, I'll take a section of hair from one side, near the temple, and start a Dutch braid, adding in small pieces of hair as I go around the crown of your head.
• I keep the braid a little loose, pulling gently on the edges to make it look fuller and more organic.
• Once the braid meets the other side, I'll secure it with a small elastic, tucking the end underneath or blending it into the rest of the hair.
• For the remaining hair, I'll use a large barrel curling iron to create soft, flowing waves.
• Finally, I'll gently arrange the waves to frame the face and tuck in little sprigs of baby's breath and greenery along the braid for that perfect, delicate touch.

Pro tips: This style is fantastic for medium to long hair and works beautifully on most hair types, especially those with a natural wave or texture. It's super forgiving if your hair isn't perfectly smooth! For a truly enchanted look, I always recommend adding real or faux baby's breath and tiny wildflowers – they make all the difference. To keep this beauty in place all day, a light-hold hairspray is your best friend, and a few bobby pins discreetly placed will ensure no stray strands ruin your magic.

The overview: Hey there, gorgeous! This look is all about effortless, breezy vibes, perfect for those sunny days when you just want to feel relaxed and stylish. It's that 'just came from the beach' kind of hair, but with a little polish. The waves are soft and touchable, making it super easy to wear and incredibly flattering. It’s a style that says, "I woke up like this" but in the best way possible!

The look: What I love about this cut is the blunt bob shape, hitting right around the collarbone. It gives a really clean silhouette. Then, we've added some subtle, longer layers throughout, especially around the face, to break up any heaviness and create movement. These layers are cut to blend seamlessly, so you don't see any harsh lines. The texture is key here; it’s not perfectly smooth, but has that beautiful, lived-in wave. It's cut with a slight internal texture to enhance the natural movement.

Step by step tutorial:

• Start with damp hair. I like to use a sea salt spray to give it that authentic beachy texture and hold.
• Next, I grab a medium-sized curling wand or even a straightener, and I start creating those loose, imperfect waves. I wrap random sections around the wand, alternating directions.
• Don't aim for perfection! The messier and more undone the waves, the better this look is.
• Once you have your waves, gently tousle them with your fingers to break them up even more.
• For the finishing touch, I take a pretty hair clip, like this hammered gold one, and secure a small section of hair behind the ear. It adds just a hint of sparkle and keeps those wispy pieces out of your face.
• A little bit of texturizing spray at the end can boost volume and definition if needed.

Pro tips: This bob with beachy waves is fantastic for most hair types, but it really shines on those with a natural wave or texture. If your hair is super straight, you might need a bit more product or to really work those waves in. Fine hair will love the layers for added body, and thicker hair will feel lighter and more manageable. As for accessories, anything that’s a bit natural or metallic works beautifully—think shells, simple metal clips, or even a pretty scarf tied loosely. My pro tip for making this last? Sleep on a silk pillowcase to preserve those waves and try not to touch your hair too much throughout the day. A light mist of hairspray can also help set the style without making it stiff.

The overview: I just love how this hairstyle looks! It's perfect for those hot days when you want to look put-together without feeling weighed down by your hair. These little braided buns are so elegant and a bit playful at the same time. They give off a really chic, effortless vibe, don't you think? It’s like a cute way to keep your hair off your neck while still looking totally stylish. I find it works wonderfully for brunches, walks in the park, or even a casual day at the office.

The look: What I did here was create a clean center part, dividing the hair into two equal sections. From there, I took each section and created a simple three-strand braid, making sure to keep them neat. Once each braid was done, I coiled it up into a small, tidy bun right at the nape of the neck. The key is to make the braids look smooth before you twist them into buns. I then used a couple of black bobby pins, crossed over each other, to secure each bun perfectly in place. This gives it a clean, finished look.

Step by step tutorial:

• Start by making a neat part right down the middle of your head, from your forehead all the way to the nape of your neck.
• Divide your hair into two equal sections, one on each side.
• Take one section and create a standard three-strand braid. Try to keep the braid as smooth and even as possible.
• Once the braid is complete, begin to twist it around itself to form a small, tight bun near where your ponytail would be.
• Secure the bun with a couple of bobby pins. I like to cross them in an 'X' shape for extra hold.
• Repeat the braiding and bun-making process on the other side of your head.
• Gently pull on the edges of the braids before coiling to add a little volume and texture, if you prefer a softer look.

Pro tips: This style is fantastic for medium to long hair. It works beautifully on straight hair, but I’ve also seen it look amazing on waves and even light curls, adding a lovely texture to the braids. If your hair is very fine, you might want to backcomb the braids slightly before twisting them to give the buns more fullness. For accessories, you could totally rock this with some cute little pearl pins or even a small velvet ribbon tied around the base of each bun for a dressier occasion. My pro tip for making this last all day is to spritz a little bit of flexible-hold hairspray onto your hair before you start braiding, and then a final mist once the buns are in place to keep everything looking neat and tidy.

The overview: Hey there, gorgeous! Can we just talk about this vibe? This look screams effortless beach goddess, perfect for those golden hour moments or a dreamy summer festival. It’s romantic, a little bit undone, and totally captivating. I love how the braid feels so relaxed, yet the delicate gold chains add this touch of glam that makes it extra special. It's the kind of style that makes you feel like you're in your own movie, with the sea breeze and the sunset as your backdrop.

The look: Okay, so what we're looking at here is a beautiful, loose, Dutch braid that’s been intentionally pulled apart to give it that soft, textured, and voluminous feel. It starts higher up on the head, incorporating hair from the sides as it goes down, creating that lovely fullness. The braid itself is a classic three-strand technique, but the magic happens when you gently tug on the edges of each section to expand it. It’s not about a tight, perfect braid; it's about creating softness and movement. The hair has a natural wave or soft curl, which really helps to enhance that lived-in, bohemian texture.

Step by step tutorial:

• First, I like to prep the hair with a texturizing spray or dry shampoo to give it some grip and body. This makes braiding so much easier!
• Gather your hair to one side, either over your shoulder or at the nape of your neck, depending on where you want the braid to sit. I usually go for a side braid as it feels a little more relaxed.
• Start a Dutch braid by taking a small section at the top, dividing it into three strands, and crossing the outer strands under the middle one. Keep bringing in small pieces of hair from the sides as you work your way down, always crossing them under.
• As you braid, don't pull too tightly. The key here is to keep it loose and airy. Once the braid is done and secured at the end with a hair tie, gently start to pull apart the sections of the braid. Work from the bottom up, gently loosening each stitch to create that full, messy look.
• Finally, take delicate gold chains or hair vines and weave them through the braid. You can tuck the ends into the braid itself or use bobby pins to secure them discreetly. A little hairspray to hold it all in place, and voilà!

Pro tips: This braid is fantastic for medium to long hair, especially if it has a natural wave or curl. If your hair is super straight, I’d recommend adding some waves with a curling wand before you start braiding for that perfect boho texture. For accessories, think delicate chains like these, floral accents, or even some dainty ribbons woven in. My pro tip? Don't be afraid to embrace the messiness! It’s supposed to look a little undone. And if a few strands escape around your face, that just adds to the romantic, windswept charm. A light mist of flexible hold hairspray will keep everything in place without making it stiff.
