Weekend Vibes

The best thing about the winter months HAS to be the Christmas markets, right? But instead of donning your woolly hat this year, upgrade your lazy-girl ponytail (or try the popular blogger bun) with a stylish velvet bow.

Simply wrap a long strip of velvet ribbon around the base of your ponytail and loop into a bow. No need to be precious about this look, as the more dishevelled the better – that’s what weekend hair is all about, after all. Credit: @jaceyduprie

Editor’s tip: Thin or fine hair making your updo difficult to craft? Then you need to try the TIGI Bed Head Oh Bee Hive! Dry Shampoo to plump up limp locks. Great for absorbing excess oil and adding body to hair, this is the perfect product for relaxed weekend styles.
