We recommend teenagers to try out these popular hairstyles for girls that go well with their facial features and their personal style.

Hairstyles for teenagers

• Long hair:

During the teen age, most of the girls love to keep their hair short as they are easily manageable. However, short hair limits the hair styling options. Long hair gives you the freedom to try out different hairstyles and change your look any time.

You can simply curl them with a curling iron or straighten them using a hair straightener whenever you want in just a matter of few minutes. These days, braiding has become very popular among teens and with braids, there are multiple options to be considered. All you need to know are the basics here; later on you can practice and learn the complicated braiding techniques as well.

• French braids:

A regular French braid can look classy and sophisticated. Start with the central part of the head and divide the hair into three equal sections. Keep adding small sections of hair from the sides of your braid till the end of the head. You can try various variations in French braid as well.

• Long Curls:

This is a perfect hairstyle for teenagers – long and soft waves!!! It gives a perfect innocent look to them, especially when accessorized properly. Girls with long hair must go for blunt bangs as they are a perfect combination for teens. As a matter of fact, bangs make you look younger. Even short, asymmetrical bangs work great on teen girls.

• Ballerina Buns:

These are the most elegant looking hairstyles that look great on both teens and older women. Ballerina buns are quite easy to style. You just have to make a ponytail wherever you want the bun to be. Comb the pony thoroughly and twist and wrap the hair around the base of the pony tails and secure it with bobby pins or an elastic band. You can also create a messy look by simply twisting the hair into a top knot at the crown part. Both the types of buns can be easily made with curly hair too.

• Layers and Highlights:

Long hair with layers and highlights look very modern and cool on teen girls. This one of the most ‘IN’ haircuts for teenagers this season! Classic long layers starting from the chin, continuing all the way down look good anytime. If you wish, you could highlight them as well!

• Short Hairstyles:

Short hairstyles are easy to maintain and style, especially for teenagers.

• Pixie Cut:

Simple short hairstyles look refreshing. If you want to try something new, then go for the pixie cut, as it is very popular amongst teenagers. If you are looking for a unique haircut, then try a bowl haircut.

• Punk Hairstyles:

If you are a non-conformist teen, then punk hairstyles would work great on you. Punk cuts, generally, are wilder and flatter on any kind of face. Nevertheless, you need to be sure whether this hairstyle blends with your personality and lifestyle. It is always important to feel good in your own skin, right. You need to use the right products that add volume and hold your punk style perfectly.

Whatever your hair length or type is, accessorizing your hair is real fun.  Teens can try their hands on a variety of colored hair accessories matching their outfits.

• Decorate your bun or braids with hairpins or beads.
• Headbands never go out of style, hence invest in headbands available in different colors and shapes. Short haired girls must opt for thinner headbands, whereas the ones with long hair can go with wider ones. For soft girly touch, try bands with bows and flowers too!
