It’s not secret that we think LC’s locks are enviable to the max. Here are three ah-dorable styles that’ll up the swoon-worthy factor on your Labor Day look (oh, and just about every day this school  year!).

The loose waves
 

This is such a Cali girl signature! Start with damp hair. Use a small amount of curl serum to up the natural texture of your strands. Then, let it air-dry or blow it out. Next, take a wide-barrel curling iron and curl your entire head of hair (use salon clips to keep the straight hair outta the way!). When you’re done, take a 1-inch section of your hair and twist it a few times. Pin it above your ear. Voila!
 

Davines Momo Moisturizing Curl Enhancing Serum, $15, amazon.com

The low knot
 
 
Use a comb to create a center part. Pull your hair back, leaving a few strands out in the front. Twist the rest of your mane into a low, loose bun. Secure it with an elastic. Take the pieces from the front and carefully pin them back, while still leaving a few face-framing strands out. Some shine spray finishes it off.
 

Rhinestone Bobby Pin Set, $2, forever21.com

The thick bun
 
 
Gotta love a style that’s pumped up to the max. To get the look, pull your strands into a high pony and secure with an elastic. Then, use a small hairbrush to tease (aka, gently brushing in the opposite direction as normal to create some volume). Next, wind your hair into a loose bun and secure with bobby pins. Mist with hairspray and dash!

MOD MOD MOD ok so i have a round face and i hate it the only hair style i can wear is my hair down cause i dont like the shape of my face is there any hair style i can use that uses my hair down and doesn't involve hair irons or sprays also i have medium think hair Thats wavy




Hey girl,

You can do all sorts of things with a round face! It looks great down, especially since your hair is wavy (and if it's long, even better). But you can pull off a cute blunt bob, half-up-half-down to add volume to the top part of your head (keeping it away from the cheeks). It's also really, really nice to leave your hair long, wavy, and even a little wild Smile Dress it up with a sparkly clip or fun headband! I've also seen Drew Barrymore (who has a round face) with pretty high ponytails that are curled into a chic, retro curl. With a little bit of volume on top of your head as you pull it back (teasing it or clipping it with a bobby pin), it'll be perf!

Hey
I need a few tips on hairstyles. When I go to school i wear the same styles over and over again. Buns,braids,ponytails and a couple more. Im starting to get tired of them. I might try the wavey style up top though. Any ideas are useful.

Thanks.

Hey im havin a difficult time choosing different hairstyles for my hair typee. im african american and my hair length is at my collerbonee. i always do the same thing ponytails, buns, straightened. they are soo boring and overusedd if anyone has any cool ideas for me that wuld be super greatt thankss!!




Hey girl! 

Have you tried wearing braids? It can be super pretty to braid either all of your hair or to braid the top section (near your bangs) back and to clip it to the side. Experiment to see what looks best on you!

MODMODMOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD! This weekend is one of my really good friends' sixteenth birthday, and she invited three girls to go to a beach with her for the weekend, me being one of them. The thing is, I don't know what to get her for her 16th! I used to be best friends with her, but we drifted apart, and now we're good friends again. Smile Any idea's are greatly appreciated. Oh, and we have to wear a dress on Saturday because we will be going out to dinner and to the beach and shopping as well. Any ideas on what to wear/how to do my hair? My hair is about half way down my back and is extremely poofy, haha.

 

Hey chicky, you could always get her a gift card to itunes or a clothing store, a jewelery box , or a new purse. You could always do a side braid or pretty bun. Let me know if you need anymore help!! Smile Smile Smile

MOD MOD MOD! what are some cute BTS do's for me that will go well with my khaki and polo shirt uniform? i have medium length hair with short hair that falls out real easily, damaged from straitening and such (even though i just got it cut), with beautiful natural curls/waves just like Taylor swift's that i usually straighten. i was thinking a loose side braid, but i wanted your opinion first. thanks! -Katie P.S. if you can, can you put some links of some of GL's hair tutorials to also help me. thanks so much!!!!!!!

 

Check out this page of great hairstyles! PS The braid sounds great Smile

Play up your frock. Instead of pairing flats or pumps with that summer dress, try adding some edgy boots or sporty sneakers.
