Also, I've put a quick "how to" for each style, just follow this big hair tutorial to get a good base for these hair styles.
Day 1: Messy bun
How to: Pull hair up into a high, messy ponytail and secure with an elastic band. Then take inch thick sections and backcomb them fully until you have a bushy ponytail. Then curl it all around the base of the elastic band loosely and pin it in. I like to leave some sections a bit loose and falling down.
Day 2: Down Day
I don't straighten my hair so this is just it rough dried and scrunched. Yes I know it's a mess but I like the volume and texture.
Day 3: Fancy French Plait
I got this idea from a hairstyle I saw Leona Lewis wearing at an award ceremony
However I wanted it a bit neater for work. I left my fringe out but you can also put it in. What you do is part your hair as normal, then start french plaiting above one ear and around the back of your head. As you get to the back of the other ear, stop french pleating and take it down into a normal plait or a fishtail one as seen on Leona. Sometimes I also roll the tail of the plait up as a side bun.
Day 4: Posh Pony-tail
This is a great way to make your day off hair a bit more interesting. I scoop up hair into a ponytail and then take a small section and wrap it around the hairband to cover it. Then use a small grip to pin the end underneath the band.
Day 5: The Kate wedding do'
This is an easy one! Take the top section of hair which has been thoroughly back-combed and using a couple of grips, twist slightly and pin into the scalp and add a pretty flower. This was inspired by Kate's hair at the wedding but with a bit more volume.
So there we go, 5 days in my hair. Do you want to see this again next week?

This is such a good idea, I would do it if i had time to do different hairstyles each day. Depends how late I wake up each morning! lol xx
ReplyDeletereally love this, you should do it more often- the french plait is gorge xx
ReplyDeleteoooh I love this post! I never do anything with my hair, just clip my fringe back in some way, this has definitely given me some inspiration though :) xxx
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous of how good you are at changing your hair! I am so lazy with my hair and I find since it's really long now I do less with it than when it's used to be short. I may have to make a hair resolution!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is your twist on a French plait. Do you do it reversed or something to make it sit on top like that? Mine always look like the tucked under old-school version xx
Ooh I wish I could be so inventive with my hair! All five styles look lovely :) x
ReplyDeletei love this! given me lots of inspiration- especially the french plait, wish i could do something like that with my hair and get it as neat as yours! defintely would love to see more! :) x
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great post idea. Your hair is gorgeous and I love the french plait. x
ReplyDeleteLove all these styles, especially the french braid. I wish I were more creative with my hair - mine looks exactly the same everyday! x
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing - that posh plait is heaven!
ReplyDeleteYes to more next week, love it! I never do anything with my hair, I always leave it loose so I'll be trying a couple of these out - thank you! :D xxx
ReplyDeleteyeah I do mine inside-out on myself but the right way round on others. Not sure why... i'm a bit clumsy! xxx
ReplyDeleteWow you're so creative with your hair I wish I was, I always wear my hair down, straight, wavy or curly. You have gorgeous hair too :-) x
ReplyDeleteYou could have pretended you were a hair genius there instead of clumsy! I love it! It did it today :) Tweeted you a (slightly dodgy) pic! xx
ReplyDeleteLove to see this weekly :)
