So, you’ve almost made it through the first month of back-to-school. Are you waking up early, packing a home-made lunch, or getting in that morning exercise like you promised yourself?
If you resonate more with this duck – we’re here to help. Waking up early to make yourself look presentable can be hard, despite the promises you make to yourself the night before. In this week’s tutorial, we’ve teamed up with Alexandra Beuter to bring you 8 super quick and easy 2-minute (no, we’re not kidding) hairstyles. Sit back and enjoy the video below, or keep scrolling down for a step-by-step tutorial on how to achieve each hairstyle.
In this tutorial, Alexandra is wearing her 180g Chocolate Brown Seamless Luxies for extra volume and length. Each hairstyle, however, can be worn with or without hair extensions – it’s your call!
- Part a section of hair towards the top of your head and gather it back and secure into a ponytail with a hair elastic. Optional: For additional volume in this Half Updo Bun, clip in two stacked 1-clip wefts in the area you will be gathering into a ponytail.
- Wrap the ponytail around in a bun, and while doing so loosely spin the hair to give the bun more texture.
- Secure bun with bobby pins.
- Take a section of hair towards one side of your face and begin braiding this section into a reverse dutch braid. Optional: For additional volume in the braid, you can stack two 1-clip wefts in the same section of hair prior to braiding.
- Secure the braid at the end with a hair elastic. Pull on the braid to fan it out and voluminize the look.
- Using the same Reverse Side Dutch Braid, simply pull the rest of your hair and the braid to one side, and secure in a low ponytail.
- For a more tousled look, you can take out a few face framing hair pieces.
- Part your hair down the middle and section your hair off into two. Secure both sections of hair into low pigtails.
- Fishtail braid each section of hair and secure with an elastic.
- Fan out the braid to make it more full and voluminous.
