One of the most popular cottagecore hairstyles is a simple half-updo with either a bow or ribbon. This style is often worn with curled hair, so we love using a hair spray like Nexxus Weightless Style Ultra Light Hair Spray to lock curls in place. We love this spray because it holds your style all day while still keeping your hair soft and moveable.

2. French Braid

Sometimes it’s best to go back-to-basics, just like many cottagecore hairstyles do. A classic french braid is another way you can start incorporating touches of this aesthetic into your style. Ever since we saw this style on many celebrities over the summer, fans of cottagecore have gravitated towards it too.
