We change our outfits, makeup and sense of style all the time, but for some of us, our hair never gets a makeover. If you’re known for your long locks and are looking for a change, why not go for a bold statement with a pixie cut. If you’ve always had your hair down in no particular style, why not switch it up a bit with an elegant up do. There are endless options out there, for all face shapes, occasions and personalities.

Waves and Ringlets
For straight haired girls, why not take the plunge and try something completely different. With so many curly hairstyles out there, you could go for a tamer beach wave look, or full on voluminous ringlets. If you don’t want all over curls, you could even just enhance your ends to add an elegant touch. Look online for inspiration, with websites such as Curling Diva providing all the tips and tricks you need. For a quick curl makeover, try plaiting damp freshly washed hair overnight. In the morning, simply undo your plaited sections, rake through with your fingers, and style to your desire!

Top Knots
From messy buns, to sleek, high fashion top knots, this slicked back look makes for the perfect go to style. Not only is it fun, quick and easy to achieve, but it’s one of the most popular and modern ways to wear your hair pulled back. Simply wrap your hair round into a tight high bun, pinning your ponytail down with bobby pins. Keep it looking sleek with hair serum. You could even try this look with a half up half down style.
Pixie Cuts and Crops
When you’re going for the big chop, you’re going to want to consider your face shape. Not everyone can carry off such a bold statement, but when it works it can look incredible. It’s also pretty easy to care for. For heart shaped faces, bangs will help to frame it perfectly. You could even try shaving one side and getting an undercut like Rihanna, for an edgier look. If elegance is your thing, then you might want to opt for an asymmetric vintage style. With the pixie cut, it works fantastically with gels and mousses, to add volume and shape. You can go from soft and feathered styles to a controlled, punkier look in five minutes!

Add a Splash of Color
It’s always fun to experiment with our hair, and what can be more transformational than changing your hair color completely. This doesn’t have to be permanent, as there are temporary dyes and hennas that are great for testing out new shades. If you’re feeling quite adventurous, then you could try the whole rainbow, with an ombre effect style. This dye job may not last very long, but it’s ideal for special occasions and parties. If you follow the trends, then you could try the blonde gray fad, worn by the likes of Evan Rachel Wood and as seen all over the runways.
