    STYLE #1: DEEP SIDE PART

    “To create a simple version of Veronica Lake-esque waves is pretty easy, and I tend to favour this look for day-to-day. After washing my hair with evo gluttony volume shampoo and conditioner, I blow-dry my clean hair backwards, away from my face to keep it as smooth as possible. Then, I use the Lady Jayne Tail Comb to form a deep part, brushing the majority of the hair to one side.

    Volume is key to this look and helps to add hold and body, so a volumising product like the Fudge Big Hair Elevate Styling Powder is essential. I lightly dust the powder along my hairline, then gently rub it into the roots. Next, I use my hands to brush the hair into place, and then I create hold with some light hairspray, like the TONI&GUY Hair Care Flexible Hold Hairspray.

    Finally, I smooth down my hair with some Moroccanoil Light Oil Treatment. I use both hands to apply the oil, and only to the ends, twirling slightly to keep the curl.” - bh's Sarah

    bh recommends: Philips Pro Dryer, Fudge URBAN Iced Raspberry & Vanilla Hair Spray, Schwarzkopf Extra Care Instant Volume Powder

    STYLE #2: BRAID

    “A braid is a go-to for me when I don’t want to deal with dirty locks and I want to keep the hair off my face. With hair that is already parted with a deep side part, I start by prepping my hair with Batiste Dry Shampoo XXL along my part and hairline before rubbing in.

    I keep the hair pulled tight throughout as I braid. Then, I tie the braid off, leaving enough at the end to wrap around my bun later. Next, I create a bun at the nape of my neck, then take the braided section and wrap the end around the base of my bun and pin in place.

    To finish, I always add a nice spritz of VO5 Tame and Shine Spray to tame any fly aways and give my dirty hair some life!” - bh's Sarah

    I love the braid one! Super pretty.

    Sandyfeet 23 Jul 2017 3:13 PM

    Wish I could braid!

    blackkittykat 20 Jul 2017 9:51 PM

    I love the braid. Nice and tidy, yet sweet and pretty.

    Yohanna 20 Jul 2017 4:19 PM

    Love this one. When lazy I do also one side braid and when hot just roll it up in bun so it does not touch my neck

    I wish I was clever enough to braid my own hair, but whenever I try it looks like I have slept with the braid in.lol

    Chicklet 17 Jul 2017 10:56 PM

    These both look lovely.

    Miss19 17 Jul 2017 10:56 AM

    The braid hairstyle would be perfect for when I'm working out at the gym

    Top one is pretty close to my daily look, wish I was coordinated enough to braid but I have 2 left hands

    MoonlightSak16 2 Feb 2017 2:12 PM

    Oh I love the braided look.

    Princess Perfume 1 Feb 2017 1:11 PM

    So clever to be able to do your own braids! I love the look but would end up in a tangle.

    bebeautiful34 31 Jan 2017 9:23 PM

    I love both these styles! I would love to try the braid, it looks so neat and fresh

    jatz 31 Jan 2017 10:04 AM

    Loving the braids. I have medium hair but it is layered in some sections so impossible to braid.

    skincare junkie 31 Jan 2017 9:19 AM

    Put some teasing into the bun will make it look a bit bigger ;)

    ray_jay 30 Jan 2017 10:02 PM

    I love these thanks. I have long hair but can use this. I'm tying the side parts all the time.

    cityglenda 30 Jan 2017 6:46 PM

    Love the braid. I think a change in where you part your hair can make a huge difference to your look.

    Beauty Obsession 30 Jan 2017 2:44 PM

    Love the braided bun look. Very feminine and nice for both a formal and relaxed look :-)

    Miss19 30 Jan 2017 2:05 PM

    If only I could do braids on my hair like that!

    blackkittykat 30 Jan 2017 1:54 PM

    I love the braid look. This would be an easy way to update my day to day hair style.

    clearcrystalwater 30 Jan 2017 1:16 PM

    It's a super feminine and pretty style.

    Yohanna 30 Jan 2017 11:50 AM

    Braid! Love them in any shape and form =D...great for this hot weather right now

    MelissaFay89 30 Jan 2017 11:36 AM

    Ive always wanted to do a braid like that :)

    PandaBear18 30 Jan 2017 11:24 AM

    I've been braiding my medium length hair recently and it's so much easier to deal with!

    Nicoler112 28 Nov 2016 11:00 AM

    Unfortunately i don't think either would suit my thin straight hair.

    Linda_Vesinger 15 Aug 2016 3:44 PM

    The braided look is quite pretty

    neha.gamine 12 Jul 2016 12:43 PM

    The braid looks amazing, I have very thin hair so unfortunately can't try this look
