We will be the most chic and admired in a few steps!

LATERAL SEMI COLLECTED COMB

Feminine, romantic and very simple to make, the side semi-gathered hairstyles are perfect to accompany sophisticated evening outfits but also particularly chic looks for the day. Do we have straight hair ? We divide the hair into two portions with a central or side line, fix one on the nape and bring the other to the side of the neck. In the pulled back section we can also make braids, as the actress Amy Adams suggests , and with a jeweled hair clip behind the head we can only be the most admired on every occasion!
