#11: Crown Braid with Half Bun Style

For a simple graduation style, you can do it at home or show it to your stylist. This style works best for curling some gold and texture throughout. Starts by putting your bun in through the crown. Then directly under that, do two braids on each side, leaving out face-framing pieces. After each side is braided, you can fasten it to a bun or wrap it around for more texture. Finish off with a hairspray like O&M Original Queenie Firm Hold Hair Spray.

#12: Layered Waves with Middle Part

Consider a blowout with layered waves and a middle part for your graduation. A blowout with waves will help to create a lot of volume and body to the hair, which gives you a fuller look. Ask your stylist for waves that curl away from the face. This helps keep your hair out of your face while opening up your whole look. Wearing your hair down will make you more susceptible to humidity and frizz. Try using Amika The Shield Anti-Humidity Spray, to keep your hair protected and frizz free all day.

#13: Romantic Half-Up Bubble Ponytail

Creating a bubble braid is a simple way to make your hair look more gorgeous. First, you will want to prep the hair with all-over curls. This creates some extra texture and hold to the hair. Then section the top portion of hair through the crown, creating a half-up pony. Use clear elastics every inch and a half down the braid. Pull apart in between as you go to make the pony fluffy and bubbly. Finish off with some baby’s breath to create a romantic style.

#14: Wavy Low Pony with Side Braid

A simple ponytail can be made fancy with side braids. Prep your hair with a texture spray so the ponytail and braid will have grit. Section out the piece you want to braid and secure your ponytail with elastic. Do a braid on the front section you left out and secure it with another elastic. Pull pieces of the braid out to fluff up, then add to the ponytail. Curl the rest of your ponytail with a one-inch iron. Finish with a strong hairspray for an all-day hold like Loreal Tecni.Art Infinium 4.
