- I absolutely loved how braids are back this season stronger than ever! we've seen many styles, from one long braid to many in a ponytail, and they are all fun and stylish. however here are some tips to wear this hairstyle without turning into a 3rd-grade student, because I am sure this is not the look you are going for.
Tips for the Braid style:
- it looks best with a slick high ponytail, use hair gets for a neat look to control baby hair.
- This look is best with edgy fashion, try it with a cool puffy leather jacket this and Cool cargo pants
- Accessorise this look with big hoop earrings and metallic eyeliner for a fun night out with the girls.
- if you have a very wide forehead, maybe this is not the look u wanna go for, however it would look cute with curtain bangs.
Bangs forever!

tips to wear bangs:
- The curtain bangs or Bardot bangs ( the ones I am wearing in this photo) are ideal if you want to both frame your face and at the same time keep control over your hairstyle because they are easy to put on the side or curl and blend with the rest of your hair. try layering your hair in the front with this particular bangs style. for best reference check Brigitte Bardot's hairstyles and show them to your hairstylist for best results.
- Brigitte Bardot's iconic bangs,
- thick front bangs are ideal for round faces or wide foreheads. pair them with a timeless cat-eye eyeliner look.
- if you choose to wear your bangs to the side, try layering your hair also loose beach waves look modern and cool with this look.
- bangs highlight your eyes, but also they put emphasis on your lips. Try to go soft with your eye makeup and wear a red lips, or do the opposite; highlight your eyes with a bold smokey look and go nude on the lips. balancing your makeup look is key to wearing bangs beautifully.
The Dark Smokes
- I am personally so happy that the smokey look is back! for a mysterious and attractive persona go smokey with your makeup from time to time in 2023. This makeup look I find this to be specifically flattering in the winter.

Tips for a perfect smokey look:
- I'm sure you all know about the makeup golden rule: heavy on the eyes, light on the lips. if you go with a smokey look keep your lips nude or glossy.
- a wet hair look is perfect for smokey eyes. you can wear it to the back or to the side or even middle-parted with cool earrings to make your eyes pop.
-f or brown eyes, try a smokey look with metallic shades of purples and blues to make your eye colour pop. golds are also amazing for both brown and green eyes
- The Icon JLO purples and blues inspired smokey eye looks.
