Hello Bloggerbeans,
After getting my haircut the second week of january I have been loving having my hair at a more managable length however as I can't do ceratin long hair styles like fishtail or side plaits anymore I have been trying to find alternatives and have fallen in love with these 4 hairstyles which are so quick and easy to do if your pushed for time in the morning like me. I find after doing my makeup I only have a couple of minutes for hair maintenance involving taking it out of its messy bed hair ponytail and brushing it in to something reasonable so here are some alternatives to just putting bobby pins in it to the sides which just end up falling out of my hair and get in my eyes anyway.
What you will need: 1 Bandana
Step 1: Leave you bed ponytail in place or if not grab a hair band and place your hair into a high ponytail. This helps to add volume and bounce to your hair.
Step 2: Take your chosen bandana and lay out flat and then put it under the nape of your neck so the ends are positioned on the top of your head
Step 3: knot securely on top of your head making sure to follow your hair line when knotting otherwise fly away strands fall out and Voila!
What you will need: A hat
Step 1: Sweep all hair to the back of your getting rid of your parting.
Step 2: tip you head back at a 45 degree angle and put your chosen hat on holding the hat from the front then pulling it down. Voila!
Pro tip: I normally choose to wear this look if I don't have enough time to wash my hair but need to be out and about for a brief time as all anyone sees is a little bit of your roots. Its so easy peasy to pull off also if your having a bad hair day and can't even think about dealing with it at all.
What you will need: One Hairband the same colour as your hair, some bobby pins
Step 1: Take you hair band and pop on your wrist. Grab the top section of your hair making sure that the side partings where the hair will sit our roughly straight and tidy looking.
Step 2: Twist this top section in your hands before then wrapping it round your finger in the desired position on the top of your head. Tie with your hairband and Voila!
Pro Tip: If your Top Knot moves into an undesired position during the day or falls flat push a bobby pin through to keep in position.
What you will need: Two hair elastics, some bobby pins
Step 1: Put your fringe into the desired position with two bobby pins.

Step 2: Part the back of your hair into two equal sections.
Step 3: Take one of the sections then part into 3 separate parts and then begin to plait a simple three strand plait tying with a hair elastic at the end.
Step 4. Repeat Step 3 with the other half of your hair and voila!

I hope this gives you some inspiration on how to style your hair if you are planning on getting your hair trimmed shorter or just don't know what to do with it if like me you have been so used to having so much to style with that you feel a little out of your depth.
