Hair Styling Help

I have a similar bob but shorter, and I have some side swept bangs. When it really hot I do the french braided bangs pulled back. I've even done twists on both sides and pinned them under the longer hair and from the front my hair look like almost an updo.

Depending on your face shape, you can pull some hair aside or back with one or more bobbi pins. When I had longer hair, that is what I used to do.

Some people look good with one side pinned back, others look better with bangs guided to the side and pinned, and some look good with bangs directly pulled back straight or with a little lift. It's simple, and it's nice to have at least some hair off of your face--especially in the summer.

I bet some of itsapinkthing's headbands would look really good on you! It wouldn't really be a updo, but it would at least keep the hair out of your face on hot days.

Kelly how sweet of you to mention my headbands!

I have a similar hairstyle too! I like to wear a headband to keep hair off my face and then pull up the back in a messy bun - super easy. My hair is slippery straight, so I spray in some dry shampoo to give it some texture, and then the bun stays put all day.

jj- Dry shampoo is a great idea. I have trouble with some elastics staying in my hair, so added texture is a good idea.

I tried the braids in the front, but with thin hair, too much scalp showed. I've been trying headbands, but I need to buy them from a tween store for the smaller size. What teen stores would sell headbands without daisies and bees?
