MUST-HAVE HAIR PRODUCTS TO MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER

When you're styling your hair, there are a few go-to products you'll need in order to be able to complete the look! Keep in mind, you won't need every single one of these items for all the quick and easy hairstyles we're bringing to you today.

Not too crazy, right?! You can also use quite a few of these products in your daughters' hair as well, so you'll get more bang for your buck when you're sharing items. And it's totally acceptable for an adult to wear a bow scrunchie… Trust us, we know! 😉


EASY HAIRSTYLES FOR SHORT OR MEDIUM HAIR

Short hair doesn't have to be difficult to style! Sure, you may not be able to fully complete a look you're going for. But that doesn't mean you can't do it partially and it won't be just as cute! Try out these super cute, easy, and versatile hairstyles for short and medium hair.

Twist Me Pretty's bubble ponytail is the perfect look for when you haven't washed your hair in a while but still want it to look like you tried. She makes it look so easy! It would also be cute as a half-up, half-down style if your hair is too short. Or even do it into pigtails to pull that short hair back easier!

    That upside-down braided bun look so chic! This is the first time I see this style and I can’t wait for my hair to grow more to be able to do it! For now, I’ll settle with waves for mid length hair.
