With mandatory virtual classes and disrupted schedules over the last year, the back to school season this year is even more exciting than usual. Along with the invigoration of a fresh academic start, this season also represents a return to normalcy and much needed socialization with classmates and instructors. If you’re looking for a trendy back to school hairstyle to celebrate the occasion, consider one of these popular looks for students:
1.The Sleek Ponytail
Celebrities like Ariana Grande have given new life to the traditional ponytail style. Whether you opt for an ultra-high position or down low, this year the biggest on-trend factor lies in creating a sleek and smooth ponytail. Unlike messy buns or the quick up dos you create to keep your hair out of your face, creating a sleek style takes a little extra work. To get this look, be sure to use gel to keep your locks in place. If you have stubborn flyaway around your crown, spritz an old toothbrush with some hairspray and comb them down for a long-lasting hold.
2.The Pull Through Braid
If you’re one of those people who hate braiding hair or simply can’t pull it off on your own head, the pull through braid is your new BFF. Instead of a traditional braid, you simply create a series of small ponytails down the back of your head. You lace the end of the ponytail on top through the ponytail below and continue until the “braid” is at the desired length. From there, you use your fingers to fluff it up until it looks like a braided style. This can be done in a half-up, half-down style or all the way down the length of your hair to keep it out of your face during gym class or extracurricular activities.
3.Half-Up, Half-Down Space Buns
Space buns (or buns placed on the top of the head) have been popular for the last several seasons. This year, the trend continues with a slight alteration. Instead of pulling all of the hair up into two large buns, the trends are skewing towards smaller ones. To get the look, start as if you are creating a basic half-up, half-down ponytail. Part the hair that would make up the ponytail straight down the center and create a small bun on each side. The buns can be as polished or as messy as you'd like-- just be sure to spritz with hairspray on particularly active days to help them hold their shape.
4.Easy Waves
If your back to school schedule means less sleep, the last thing you want to tackle in the morning is a complex hairstyle. Some of the simplest styles involve "overnight" styling, such as waves. To get this look, all you have to do is braid your hair before bed and spritz it with a light hairspray or gel. Undo the braid (or braids) in the morning and finger comb through your locks for loose and long-lasting waves. As a bonus, this style doesn't require heating tools and can give your hair a much needed break.
