My Favorite Hairstyles
Here are some of my go-to hairstyles for long hair:
Braided Crown
This is a great style for a more formal occasion or a day when you want to feel extra fancy. Start by parting your hair in the middle and braiding two sections on either side of your head. Pull the braids over the top of your head and secure with bobby pins. This creates a crown-like effect and looks stunning.
Beachy Waves
If you want a more casual and effortless look, beachy waves are the way to go. Start by applying a sea salt spray to damp hair and scrunching it with your hands. Use a curling iron to add loose waves and finish with a texturizing spray for added volume.
Low Bun
A low bun is a classic and elegant style that works for any occasion. Start by pulling your hair back into a low ponytail and twisting it into a bun. Secure with bobby pins and pull out a few strands of hair around your face for a softer look.
Expert Tips
When creating a braid, pull the sections tightly to avoid any loose strands. This will help the braid stay in place and look neat. – Maria Vargas, celebrity hairstylist
