We are sure you binge-watch hair tutorials at least once a week in the hope of changing up your look. We are also sure you’ve never really tried them and landed up sticking to your usual hairstyle. Girl, you’re not alone! Be it a ponytail, bun or hair let loose, there’s one hairdo you can’t get enough of--maybe because it suits your pretty face or maybe because it’s in your comfort zone.
But if wearing your hair the same old way has gotten a tad dull and monotonous, here’s an idea! Why not tweak the same hairstyle and sport a chicer and cooler version of it? Take a look at five everyday hairstyles and their cool cousins that you can trade them for.
- Swap your basic bun for a knotted one
- Swap your regular three-strand weave for a rope braid
- Swap your plain ponytail for a fun bubble tail
- Swap your soft waves for wild beach waves
- Swap your sleek hair for a wet hair look
Swap your basic bun for a knotted one

Turn your low messy bun into a chic knotted chignon and look all fancied up every day. Instead of wrapping your hair, knot it a couple of times and secure at the nape of your neck like you usually do.
Swap your regular three-strand weave for a rope braid

A three-strand braid is a classic--no argument there! But with so many versions of the weave in the world, it would be insane not to give them a try, especially if you love braids. Try this two-strand rope braid by dividing your hair into two sections, twisting them and intertwining them, and of course securing it at the end.
Swap your plain ponytail for a fun bubble tail

The 90s bubble ponytails made a whopping comeback and we couldn’t be happier. Switch your boring ponytail with a fun and fluffy bubble tail by adding a hair tie every three to four inches down the ponytail.
Swap your soft waves for wild beach waves

When in doubt, curl ‘em up, right? Curls are the easiest way to glam up’, but we’d like to tell you that unkempt, messy waves look way more gorgeous. Spritz some texturizing hairspray to fake the texture or braid your damp hair into four or five braids and open in an hour to get the perfect beachy curls.
Swap your sleek hair for a wet hair look

If you have naturally sleek and straight hair, chances are you create a centre parting and let it be. Give your poker straight hair a glamourous upgrade by wearing the wet hair look. Apply hair gel and brush your hair for the I-just-came-out-of-the-shower look.
