Fashion designers like Tory Burch sent their models onto the runway at New York Fashion Week with a simple bow tied around their ponytail to add a touch of femininity to their creations.
Here are a few simple tips on how you can implement the trend yourself:
A low ponytail with a bow looks very chic and romantic. On the other hand, with a high ponytail it looks too girly and reminds us of our school days.
In terms of material, you can bet on satin or velvet. These fabrics exude a certain elegance. A soft, black velvet ribbon can also be worn as a choker.
To keep the ribbon from fraying, cut the end at a 45-degree angle or into an inverted V shape. Then apply transparent nail polish to the end. Ribbons made from synthetic fibers such as satin also seal well with heat.
Caucasian Box Braids – dreadlocks for Europeans
In contrast to dreadlocks, with “Caucasian Box Braids” the hair is braided into many small braids. The hairstyle originally comes from West Africa but is becoming increasingly popular in Europe. Light-skinned people are generally referred to as Caucasians and so in the USA “Caucasian” is a synonym for white people of European descent. However, since Europeans have different hair textures, the braids have to be extended with synthetic hair.
The box braids look very beautiful even if you don't choose the synthetic hair in your own hair color. A great contrast is created by incorporating blonde artificial hair strands into dark brown hair. The thickness of the braids and the way the hair is divided also allow for many visual variations. This elaborate hairstyle takes up to twelve hours to complete, but the braids last around two months.
Beyonce's mega bun is a real eye-catcher! Rihanna, on the other hand, wears her long dreadlocks open. The hair extensions are light gray instead of blonde. An extraordinary twist on the trendy granny look, don't you think?
