Leo Inspired Hair Tutorials

welcome to leo season!

to me, leo season is all about being bold and extra. during leo season, more is more. there’s no such thing as going overboard. it’s time to break out all of the accessories, all of the glitter, and all of the things that make you feel super bright and shiny. i wanted to share some hairstyles inspired by the leo vibe and break down how to create them yourself! all products and accessories are linked below

style 1 - big headband, bigger hair

  1. section out the bottom 3rd of your hair horizontally

  2. use a 1 in curling iron (i’m using the ghd classic curve) and take 1 in sections to curl

  3. use the “twist curl method” twisting and dropping the hair continuously as you move down the section you’re curling.

  4. alternate curls away from the face and towards the face to create more texture

  5. repeat twist curls in the middle and top sections

  6. for face framing sections, curl away from face

style 2 - stars and space buns

  1. section out 2 pieces in front to frame the face

  2. part hair down the center

  3. take a small triangle section on both sides of the part and secure with elastic, creating 2 pigtails

  5. add star charms to either side of the part

style 3 - extra high half up

  1. section out front pieces to frame the face

  2. gather hair from behind ears half up
