20 Cute Preppy Hairstyles for Girls

With the winter season fast approaching, women need to appear chic. Experimenting with new hairstyles is a favorite amongst women of all ages. However, often, it can get confusing or difficult to come up with new preppy hairstyles.

 

Do’s and Don’t’s

Here are a few tips to keep in mind if you are all up for preppy hairstyles.

• Always make sure your hair is neat! They should be fuzz-free. To do so, apply hair serum after a shower and use hair-setting sprays.
• Avoid using sprays and ingredients that can dry out your hair.
• Use silk hair accessories like scrunchies and headbands with any hairstyle to look more preppy.
• Do not hesitate to add ribbon to your hair. Whether you are styling your hair in a half ponytail, sleek ponytail, or braid- ribbons will always add the extra girly and preppy look to your hair.
• Make sure your hair looks fresh, trim the split ends often, and oil your hair regularly.
• Even if you plan to go with messy hairstyles, make sure they are neat and presentable. There should be no frizziness, and neither should the hair strands be coming out of everywhere.
• Use dainty pearl hair clips to finish off your looks.
