It May Just Be Time To Break Out of Your Hair Rut

Sometimes no matter how much you love your hair, you can get a little tired of the same few go-to looks, especially now as we transition to warm weather clothing.  

If you indeed feel like you need to switch things up a bit, I thought I would share some hair inspiration with you, courtesy of celebrity hairstylist Nikki Nelms and Glamour magazine. 

Cleverly, Glamour has gathered this inspo by hairstyle type to make it super easy for you to find exactly what you want. Have fun exploring: 

Braids
1) So cool! Just twist two strands, then twirl them together and secure with a hair elastic.

2) To get a faux-hawk, as shown here on Rooney Mara, just connect stacked braids.

3) According to Glamour, there has been a spike in chatter about box braids lately. "Wear them long and thin," says Nelms. "They look just like strands of hair."

Undone Texture
1) Embrace your texture with a loose bun like the one featured here.

3) Model Imaan Hammam’s look is simple. Just pick out extra texture with the tail of a comb.​

High Ponys
1) I just love a high pony, especially this one on supermodel Doutzen Kroes. To slick hair back nicely, just grab some stick pomade.
