Having your hair professionally styled can take time. Driving to the hair salon takes a chunk of your time, and if you have to wait your turn when you arrive, additional time is lost. Driving back home is more time wasted. If you wonder if there is a faster way to create a simple hairstyle, there is. That way is to do it yourself.
Gather Your Hairstyling Tools
Gather everything you need to create your simple hairstyle. Have your basics on hand, as they are essential when styling your hair. Make sure you have a fine-tooth comb, a hairbrush, about 12 medium-size hair rollers and 12 large hair rollers if your hair is long and a can of hairspray. If the hair rollers require bobby pins, have a box of them on hand. Keep hairpins handy, as well. Select barrettes and hair adornments such as artificial flowers, as well as a pretty headband or a fancy hairnet. Have a pretty scarf you can tie around your head.
Choose a Hairstyle
Decide if you want to wear your hair up, down, straight or slightly curly. Set your hair in medium-size rollers if you want some curls or in large rollers if you want a straight hairstyle. Because your hair takes a long time to dry if it's in rollers, make sure it's dry, if you have washed it, before putting it in the rollers. Keep the rollers in your hair for at least four hours to get a good set. If you haven't washed your hair, take a shower while your hair is in rollers to give your hair a better set. Remove the rollers when ready and continue to create your simple do-it-yourself hairstyle.
Create Your Hairstyle
Consider a simple hairstyle with loose curls draping your shoulders. You can tease the top portion of your hair and smooth it over to give your hair height. Tie a scarf around your head or slip on a headband. Use hairspray to hold your style in place. Another way to create a simple do-it-yourself hairstyle is to part your hair on the side if your hair is straight and comb it behind your ear on the opposite side of the part. Secure a colorful artificial flower behind your ear with a bobby pin. You can also wear a barrette on one side of your head or one on each side. If you want a simple do-it-yourself updo, bring all of your hair together on top of your head and secure it with a thin fabric-covered elastic band. You can then take small sections of loose hair and roll each one around two fingers to create a baloney curl. Using your hairpins, secure a circle of baloney curls to the top of your head, spritz with hairspray and decorate your hairstyle with an artificial flower. Another idea is to braid your hair in the back and hold the ends together with a thin fabric-covered elastic band. You can then fold your braid up, in half, and secure it with hairpins. An artificial flower or barrette placed at the back of your head where the beginning and the end of the braid meet will hide the elastic band. You can create another simple do-it-yourself hairstyle by gathering your hair into a ponytail and rolling it into a decorative hairnet.
