Back to school hairstyles

We've gathered a few secret 2015 hair trends that are rising in popularity and perfect for a day at school. Experiment with some of these gorgeous back to school hairstyles:

The pinned princess pouf

This back to school hairstyle is great for keeping unwanted flyaways out of your face during the day, but still keeps you feeling glam and tidy all at the same time.

You'll need a few bobby pins, hairspray, a comb, a hair straightener or blow dryer (optional). Simply pin a large amount of hair at the top of the head, and tease downwards with a comb to create lots of volume. You can also create this affect using a blow dryer if you are after extreme volume. Pin the ends of the hair by pulling and twisting the ends, all while keeping the pouf balanced.

You can spray a light layer of hairspray to give the pouf long lasting shape throughout the day. You can also straighten the rest of your hair to complete your cute pinned pouf look!

The big ballerina bun

The ballerina bun is perfect for staying fresh and still looking presentable at school but also keeping it quite classy and elegant. This technique is easy, and you can create the perfect ballerina bun for yourself simply by purchasing a bun donut located at any hair care store.

You'll need a hair brush, an elastic tie, some bobby pins, a bun donut, and some hairspray for extra strength to control any flyaways. Start by brushing the hair and continue by putting your hair into a high ponytail (make the ponytail where you want the bun to sit). Apply the ponytail straight through the middle of the bun donut, allowing the rest of the ponytail to fountain around the bun donut. Cover the donut by shuffling around any extra pieces of hair, you can then bobby pin any excess strands.

Spray a layer of hairspray over the top for a sleek and shiny look, and voila! A big beautiful ballerina bun.

 The fishtail side braid

This hairstyle whilst being visually beautiful adds a twist to the standard braid, by creating a unique yet simple look that will have all your classmates asking how to achieve it. The side fishtail braid looks best with longer hair, so wearing this style is a perfect excuse to show off your ZALA hair extensions at school!

The great thing about this hairstyle is that it doesn't have to be perfect, the look is even more sensational when you add your own personal touch to the braid.

To achieve the look, sweep your hair to the side, and then split into two sections, from the right section pull out a small strand of hair from underneath and cross it over and underneath the left section, so your other hand holds the strand. Then repeat the other way starting with a small strand from the left side and then going across and underneath to the right side. Repeat this motion down the length of your hair, then secure with a elastic band.

To create a messier look gently pull at the braid, then spray a small amount of hairspray to it. This back to school hairstyle is sure to label you the school's hottest trendsetter.

We hope this has helped you achieve some great back to school hairstyles!
