How to update a classic hairstyle...

Bob, chignon or ponytail…shake up your usual hairstyle routine with these simple steps. Discover which will work best for you to take your look from drab to fab!

Add accessories. Hair accessories should be your number one tool when it comes to modernizing your look. Whether you opt for a headband, headscarf or even a hat, make sure you choose one which will suit your face shape and a color that harmonizes with your skin tone. Still not keen? Opt for an accessory which will hide your hair tie; the turban is a great choice, or even a piece of your own hair wrapped around the base of a ponytail will do the trick!

Play with different effects. There are hundreds of different hair effects you can play with to inject some style back into your look. Try a messy do, side hair, wet look, slicked back, wavy or even twisted styles. Another idea is to try one of this season’s fishtail braids to add a casual, on-trend to your outfit. Layers will instantly add body and movement to your hairstyle whilst a color refresh or some carefully-placed highlights are guaranteed to get you feeling gorgeous and vibrant.
