Outfit? Check. Shoes? Check. Hairstyle? Errrr….
That exact situation is all too familiar to me. I love to plan my entire look but I’m often left wondering what I’m going to do with my hair. It’s amazing just how much a different hairstyle can change up your look and often it’s the key in really pulling an outit together.
Now as much as I’d love to just visit the hairdresser everytime I want a new do or style I simply can’t afford it and definitely don’t have the time. So I’ve pulled together my top three hairstyles that I think are so versatile, will make you feel like a million bucks and can all easily be done from your own home!
Upside Down French Braid Bun
Ready for a nice weekend brunch, but not sure what to do with your locks? This is similar to the messy bun that so many of us love to wear. Take it to the next level by adding in a French braid. You are bound to impress.

Textured Ponytail
This look is perfect for a nice day of shopping with your gal pals. It’s a fun take on a normal ponytail, giving you a casual yet trendy look. This is best done while your hair is still damp after a shower, however, it can easily work on dry hair as well.

 | Dry shampoo. Our fave is Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo, $8.99 – it’s enriched with oat milk, perfect for sensitive skin! |
What To Do:
♥ swiish tip: Optional: Apply a little dry shampoo to the ponytail and light tease for more texture. |
Glamorous Waves
Need a ‘do for a night on the town or a romantic candle-lit dinner with your loved one? Glam waves are a favourite style amongst celebrities but the look is so simple that you can easily DIY.
