Teenagers' Fashion Hairstyles

Ponytails can be varied greatly for different looks.

There are many teen fashion hairstyles popular today, but some of the more basic styles are still commonly used. This doesn't mean that teenagers are all wearing their hair the same way; it simply means that they're making variations among simple hairstyles.

Ponytail

These girls are sporting simple, basic ponytails.

Ponytails are one of the simpler hairstyles that any teen can wear, but luckily they can vary so much that vastly different looks are achieved. There are several types of placements for ponytails: high ponytail, mid ponytail, low ponytail and side ponytail.

Ponytail textures can also vary greatly, from curly to straight, wavy or even crimped. Many teenage girls allow their hair to keep its natural texture while in a ponytail, while some feel it's necessary to straighten or curl their hair beforehand.

Headband

Headbands have more uses than holding hair back during sports.

Headbands are both functional and fashionable, and are commonly worn by teenage girls. Some girls who play sports use headbands, usually soft elastic ones, to hold back their hair to keep it out of their eyes.

Other girls, when going for a more fashionable look, don't use headbands to hold back their hair, but instead they use the headband's colors, textures and designs as an accessory to compliment their outfit.

Down and Simple

Straightened layers add movement.

With all the hairstyles available to teenagers, many teens resort to simply wearing their hair down. This may entail allowing their hair's natural texture to show, whether it's straight and fine, wavy and soft, or curly and voluminous.

Some girls prefer to change their texture on a daily basis through using curling irons, straightening irons and crimping irons. Two very common down and simple hairstyles include girls getting layers cut into their hair, and then either straightening it stick straight, or using large-barrel curling irons to create tousled waves.

Buzz Cut

Give it a buzz.

The buzz cut is the ultimate super-easy hairstyle for teen boys. It's cut very short to the scalp and is an easy-care look for those who don't want to take the time to style their hair. An added advantage is that if they play sports, longer hair can get in the way and it's very cool in hot weather.

Crew Cut

Crew cuts are not just worn by sailors.

Teens who want a style that's easy-to-manage for stubborn growth patterns may want to try a crew cut. A crew cut is simply one in which the back and sides are cut shorter than the top.

Spiked Hairstyle

If you like it spiked, buy plenty of gel.

The spiked hairstyle is perfect for teen boys who love to play around with their hair. Spiked hairstyles can be relatively short or even a bit long, but the top is made to spike up with gel or other hair products.
