While there are plenty of ways to wear your hair up, every once in a while a girl’s gotta let her hair down – literally. But sometimes letting your locks flow freely can be even more complicated than a fancy up-do. How will you keep it tangle-free and our of your face? How can you keep yourself from looking like Cousin Itt at the end of the day? (I can’t possibly be the only person with these thoughts.) Fortunately, there are some simple, stylish ways to wear your hair down.
You don’t have to implement any insane rituals, or utilize any crazy tools and techniques to rock a down style. You just need a comb, a touch of product, and maybe a bobby pin or two. And if you’re worried about looking boring, keep in mind that adding accessories or switching up the texture can instantly take your locks from drab to fab. Not to mention that, unlike with an updo, your hair length doesn’t matter. Whether you’re rocking a trendy lob or have locks like Rapunzel, you can wear your hair down.
