I recently went to a work Christmas party and needed a quick and easy, but pretty hairstyle for my relaxed hair. I didn't want to whip out the steam rollers and didn't have time to put them in. I also didn't want to put any direct heat on my relaxed hair and wanted to protect my ends. So I opted for a very simple up-do that would keep my ends protected but also look chic and sophisticated.

I ended up doing the headband tuck.

If you haven't seen the headband tuck, it's a really simple and quick style. All you do is
- Moisturize and seal your hair with your favorite moisturizer and oil
- Take a wraparound headband of your choice. If you're going to a holiday party I suggest using a less casual more fancy headband
- Put the headband on top of your hair
- Then in one-inch sections wrap your hair around the sides and back of the headband
- Once you've done that look to see if there are any loose strands that didn't get tucked in and tuck them in
- To make the style more secure use hairpins

Hi Leah, love the hair style. I have tried this several time with no success, love yours tho! Maybe one day I will get it!
ReplyDeleteI had to try it a few times before I got it myself. I found it was easier for me to start in the front on one side of head, stop once I got to the back leaving some hair out, do the other side, then take the back portion left out and do a roll/tuck and put in a few bobby pins to hold the back in place.
DeleteA cute style while protecting your ends.....love it!
