11 Work From Home Hairstyles You Never Had The Guts To Try
By Jelani Addams Rosa & Powered By L’Oreal Professional Products Division
Of all of the hair trends we predicted to take off this year, Permission To Play is by far the one I was looking forward to embracing the most. Given my job title as senior editor of Hair.com, I’m not proud to admit this, but the truth is I don’t do much to my hair. I love to test and try new products but when it comes time to style my hair, I typically resort to a messy top knot or a wash-and-go style. But I decided that this year would be different! This year would be the year I mastered new hairstyles and truly embraced all that my hair can do.

Stacked Barrettes
Why settle for one barrette when you can slay two—or three, or four! Stacked barrettes are one of the hottest hair trends of the season, and they’re a great way to keep your day two (or day five, who’s counting?) hair in check.
