5 Face Mask Hairstyles You’ll Want To Wear Everyday!

Face masks are the new norm. But let’s face it – they pinch the ears and mess up our hair. And although they are something that we’ll just have to get used to in time, unkempt hair shouldn’t be! Well, time to try some new face mask hairstyles!

Most of us with long to medium hair would most likely go for a regular ponytail or bun on a daily basis. However, wearing our hair tightly in a ponytail all day long can lead to tension alopecia. That means unwanted hair loss along the hairline where the hair is constantly being weighed down by your ponytail. As if don’t have enough things to worry about!

So, if you’re looking to spice up your hairstyling routine and give your hairline a much-needed break, we’ve got your back! Here are 5 fun and easy face mask hairstyles to keep your hair looking chic and tidy throughout the week!

1. The Braided Crown

Want to get the front section of your hair out of the way without bundling everything up? Then this pretty braided crown hairstyle is for you! To create a good grip before you braid, spritz your roots with some dry shampoo for added grit. Next, part your hair to one side and create a French or Dutch braid, stopping at ear level. To secure it in place, tuck the end of the braid behind some hair and secure it with an elastic band. Finally, fan out your braids to give them extra volume and texture.

2. Low Ponytail With Boxer Braids

This is for all you sporty lasses out there! Playful boxer braids go hand in hand with a sleek low ponytail. Firstly, create a good sleek base by running your hair through with some hair gel and water. Then, section the top part of your hair and create a tight French braid down the centre of your head, stopping at the nape of your neck. Lastly, secure your boxer braids into a low ponytail and finish off with hairspray.

3. The Poolside Party Look

Don’t you just love a good sleek swept-back hairstyle? All you’ll need is water, hair gel and some hair pins and you’re good to go! Firstly, start by wetting your hair with water, or leave it damp after your shower. Then, take a 50 cent coin amount of hair gel and rub it all over your palms to distribute the product evenly. Lastly, run your gelled up hands through your damp hair and push it all back with a fine-toothed comb before securing the sides with some pretty pins.
