25 hairstyles to forget you're stuck at home

Do you find yourself in a hairstyle rut wearing the same styles over and over again? Messy buns, high ponytails, and out-of-bed half-up half-down hair is all we know right now, especially since none of us can leave our houses. While we wait for the world to get back to normal, and calendar in those work lunches, girls’ nights and family brunches, we thought we’d hit you up with a little inspo as we ride this quarantine wave together. 

Staying at home may not be the most exciting for your social life, however, there's a few advantages to increased time at home like more time to read, self-reflect, and of course, practise hairstyles. But self-isolation doesn't mean giving up any and all opportunities to doll up. As the saying goes, when you look good, you feel good, so wash your hair, throw a bit of makeup on, and change out of your PJs, because we're throwing an imaginary party, and you're invited.

Here are 25 of our favourite hairstyle ideas rounded up to help you forget you're stuck at home.

Is your hair too short for updos? Don't fret. By slicking down your short tresses, you can achieve a style formal enough to impress the Queen of England, herself. Add a bit of bling with a glittery barrette, a floral hair pin or even a fascinator! 

French Braid Crown

While the traditional braided crown is beautiful, the French braid version gives the look a more polished and formal feel. Like an updo, this style pulls your hair away from your face, showcasing your beautiful features, but it also allows your tresses to cascade freely across your back and shoulders. If you want to achieve a polished yet feminine look, this is the perfect formal party hairstyle for you. 

Bouffant

Now that you have the time, why not create a follicle masterpiece? You may want to try your hand at the vintage bouffant. It is, after all, the perfect blend of fun and formality. Armed with a backcomb and a bottle of extra hold hairspray, you will be able to create a modern take on this retro look. 

Floral Ponytail

The floral ponytail is a great half-up half-down hairstyle that adds a pretty and elegant floral detail to a regular ponytail. The perfect mix of sophistication and fun, this look will have everyone wondering how you made it happen. This style looks complex, but as this tutorial shows, it is really quite easy.   

Sky-High Topknot

The perfect way to keep your tresses up and out of the way is by opting to wear a sky-high topknot. This look is modern, polished and pretty perfect when you want a clean, fresh look.

French Twist

This classic look has been a favorite formal party hairstyle for generations, why not try your hand at it at home? Popularized in the 1950s, it remains en vogue and is actually much simpler to create than it appears. If your hair isn’t long enough to achieve this look, consider adding a set of hair extensions

Easy hairstyles

Quarantine has given us the time to explore a wide range of styles—if you’re a rookie who loves styling it up, but just doesn’t know how to go about it, these easy hairstyles are your ideal starting point. Transform your locks into your crowning glory in no time. 

Modern Smooth Ponytail 

A runway classic, this look transforms the regular pony into an object of sleek sophistication. The modern smooth ponytail just requires some straightening and a bit of gel for a glossy glow. And it is the perfect way to highlight your amazing bone structure, while keeping those pesky stray follicles off your face. If your ponytail looks a little sparse, don't worry. Adding a few hair extensions can add both length and volume making your modern smooth ponytail the star of the show. 

Textured Half Updo

Torn between wearing your hair up or down for your next virtual hang out with your BFF? The half-up trend is the perfect compromise and super easy too! We recommend adding a bit of curl or wave to your tresses for a dash of playful texture. 

Gibson Tuck

Deceptively simple to achieve, this easy party hairstyle can literally be created from start to finish in mere minutes. This stylish, no-fuss look could be the highlight of your next virtual hangout with the girls! 

Sky High Pony

While Ariana Grande wears her hair natural while quarantining why not borrow her signature look? Whether your locks are super smooth or naturally curly, this en point style, also known as a "snatched ponytail" is the perfect blend of playfulness and sophistication. And, it adds inches to your height!  

Reverse Headband

On days when you need a little extra oomph, wear this relatively new accessory—the reverse headband. Barely visible from the front, these bands put on a huge show at the back of your head. Available in everything from daisy chains to glittery bling and everything in between, the reverse headband can transform your mane in very little time. And they look equally amazing on all hair textures. 

Dramatic Part

Do you want to completely change up your look with minimal effort? That is the dream, right? Making a dramatic change to your part can do exactly that making it a popular easy hairstyle. A deep side part creates an image of sophistication and allure. If you want to dramatically boost your volume, place your dramatic part on the opposite side of its usual location.

Flower Power
