It’s almost too easy to fall into the trap of wearing your hair the exact same way every day. The catch? After a while, you start to get bored of your hair and opt for a dramatic haircut when really, all you need to do is experiment a little with new styles! We’ve rounded up some of the cutest and easiest hair ideas that you can achieve regardless of your length or curl type.
Sleek ponytail
Love a sleek ponytail like Ariana Grande’s? You don’t need that kind of length to pull it off – any length below the shoulder will do. Start off by using frizz-eliminating haircare products. These will help to give hair a smooth texture and make it easier to straighten. Before using your flat iron, be sure to use a protecting spray. This leave-in spray (below) thickens and adds body, provides thermal protection, controls frizz and adds shine, prevents breakage, and detangles and moisturises. If you like the shiny look that’s trendy right now, you can apply an anti-breakage oil through your lengths, or even from the roots if your hair is dry. It not only conditions your hair but also leaves it soft with a brilliant shine.

Bouncy curls
Love your curls but struggle to style them just right? With a few key products, you can accentuate your natural curls, leaving hair soft and bouncy. Curl-activating products should be your best friends. Enhance your natural curls with a curl activator cream. This one (below) is formulated with nourishing shea butter which helps to hydrate your hair and leave it extra shiny. If your curls respond well to gel hair products, go for gold! They prevent frizz in humidity but allows long-lasting, all-day hold for curls without the crunch.

Beach waves
This low-key hairstyle is super easy to create and looks fab with just about any outfit. Plus, it works with longer and shorter hair. After washing your hair, apply a hair mousse while your hair is still damp. Plait your hair in a couple of plaits (more for finer waves, less for bulkier waves) and allow your hair to dry naturally (doing this overnight works best). Once dry, loosen the plaits and gently run your fingers through your hair to undo them and separate hair into waves. Finish off with a few spritzes of hairspray to loosely secure your waves.
