Polished Hairstyles For Work And Every Day

Gone are the years of low-maintenance hairstyles. It is time to get back to the more glamorous and polished styles that require a bit more work. They are more business, less casual, yet will be so worth it. The looks we are going to share with you today are guaranteed to help you maintain a chic aura while looking tidy and pulled together to give you that professional edge at the office while still having a little fun. If you’re looking for a hairstyle for daily wear or something a little more attention-grabbing for an important meeting or business dinner we’re sure you’ll find something here that you’ll be excited to wear to work.

 Chestnut Bun- This one is fairly quick and easy, yet sleek and polished for medium-length hair. It starts with a mid to high ponytail that’s inverted upwards. The tail is then backcombed to create volume and then smoothed back over the hair tie. The ends are secured with another hair tie and tucked under and pinned into place. 

Gibson Tuck- Hair is secured in a tight low ponytail. Slide the hair tie down slightly to allow a little space between the hair tie and your scalp. This is where you will tuck the rest of your hair. Twist the ponytail as if you were making a bun and then tuck and roll the entire ponytail into the space you created. When the ponytail is all neatly tucked away, pin everything into place and spray to set the style.

 Upside-Down Braided And Bun- For this style, you will flip your head over and start a French braid at the nape of the neck and braid upwards towards your crown. At the crown secure the braid and twist the tail into a neat bun. Pin it into place and you’re ready to go. 

Short Hairstyles- Short strands are easy to transform into a formal look. All you need to do with a pixie cut or bob to take it from tousled and casual to polished and formal is to push it back with a bit of mousse or hairspray and smooth everything out. You’ll look sleek and professional in minutes. 

Middle Part With Wrapped Low Pony- When you need a simple style to contain your strands adding a middle part to a low ponytail will give it a bolder look. Wrap a few strands around the hair tie to hide it and pin it underneath for a professional finishing touch. 

Half-Up Twisted Crown Braid- Half-up styles are always great for the office. You can take it to the next level with a beautiful half-twisted crown braid and ponytail. This is a great way to dress up and add interest to medium to long straight hair, allowing you to wear it partially down while keeping it out of the way.

Deep Side Part With Side Braid- This look is sleek and simple. Start by creating a deep side part. Gather your hair on the opposite side. Start braiding at the nape and continue to the ends. It doesn’t have to be hard to look neat and tidy. 

French Twist- This classic is always an excellent choice. It starts by gathering all of your hair at the nape of your neck. You’ll then start twisting upwards and when you reach your crown twist any remaining ends and bend them back down tucking them under the twist you created up the back of your head. Pin everything in place and finish with hairspray. Don’t be stingy with the pins if you want it to last all day. Just make sure all of the ends and pins are hidden neatly underneath the twist.

Professional Blowout- If you’re pressed for time and need something that lasts or your styling skills are limited the easiest thing would be to come into the salon and allow our stylists to shampoo and style your hair each week for you. Then you can just touch it up in between. So why not treat yourself to in-salon shampoo and blowout services? You can make your style last by keeping it dry. If you need a refreshing midweek use Pureology Style + Protect Refresh & Go Dry Shampoo. Gently tie your hair up in a silk scarf at night to protect your style while you sleep and you’ll look great until your next appointment. 

When it comes to creating sleek and professional styles, good haircare and regular deep conditioning treatments are a must. Whether you choose a salon treatment or to use a product at home such as Kerastase Masque Reconstituant Hair Mask or Redken All Soft Heavy Cream Mask every week, keeping your hair healthy is important. If your hair is not in good condition it will look frizzy and frazzled no matter how you style it.
