We show you here the most beautiful informal hairstyles of this season that you can do at home in record time.

The joker braid

"We start by parting down the middle. You can do it to the side, depending on how you want to style it. There's a bit of volume in the back, so you don't have to adjust the braid too much. Separate into three sections hair and start to cross on the left side. You can also choose to make the braid a little looser, what we call an open braid. This will give a bohemian touch to the hairstyle. The hair is usually worked with a little serum or with styling wax", explains the international stylist Damien Ducorney from the L'Adresse hairdressing salon in Barcelona (C/ de Còrsega, 204 principal, 3ª).

High semi-updo

"We take a brush and stretch the hair towards the front of the face. It is held with a rubber band (it cannot be too tight so as not to break the hair). If you have short hair in front, you can apply a little gel to make a ponytail more polished and flatten the hair in a more consistent way. You can add a bobby pin or take a strand of hair to cover the rubber with the hair and make it more beautiful and refined, "explains the expert.

Low casual ponytail

"We gather the hair on the side that best suits us and make a low ponytail. We also choose a hair tie or simple ponytail holder so that it is not too tight. For the ends, we use an iron to give a little wave. This will give it style and movement to the hairstyle. Before passing the flat iron, we use a thermal protection serum to take care of the hair. With a dryer and a round brush, we stretch the hair a little so that the bangs are combed and with a little volume. We straighten towards tuck in the side strands to highlight the face. The result will be natural but very stylish," explains Damien Ducorney.

Ponytail with baby braids

"With a flat brush we make the parting in the middle. We gather the hair back and slightly down to the level of the neck, leaving two strands of hair on each side of the face. We make the ponytail with a dark elastic, the same color as the hair to hide it. Two small frontal braids are made, and finally, to give it shine as it appears in the photograph, we use a very subtle pearlescent spray. The effect is that of a carefree but very careful style, "says the expert.

Herringbone Braid Ponytail

"This hairstyle is done on dry hair (always well hydrated). We brush it to make, with an elastic, a very high semi-updo. With the hair that is left loose, we make a herringbone braid. We separate the hair into two equal parts. We take a small strand from the front part of the parting on the right and we go over it to join it to the left part, then we follow the same technique, but in reverse, on the left part and we take it to the right. steps to finish the herringbone braid. Finally, you can add some pretty hairpins or small clips to give it a modern and elegant style, "concludes the expert.
