Styles To Slay After Doing A Big Chop

So you’ve just taken the first major step in your natural hair journey and big chopped.

The unhealthy state of your hair just became too much to handle. From the mass amount of breakage in your hair brush, to the burnt ends as a result of over processing and heat damage, it was time for a fresh start. Unfortunately, this new Teenie Weenie Afro—or TWA—is not slaying your life like you expected. Well, don’t worry natural sisters, we got you. Here are some trendy styles that you can try on your short locks to achieve that newly natural glow you had originally hoped for.

MTV FORA x got2b: 4 Seasons Of Festival Hair

At FORA, we have a saying. It’s simple, it’s sweet, and it motivates us when we’re feeling lackluster: LONG LIVE FESTIVAL HAIR.

Just because leaves are turning, snow is falling, or rain is pouring, doesn’t mean we have to pack away our fun & creative hairstyles. We teamed up with göt2b and MUCH creator Tasha Leelyn to recreate some of our favourite festival hair, and to prove that these styles really can work all year long!

The Best Dry Shampoos On A Budget

We don’t think we’re being dramatic at all in saying that dry shampoo saves lives. Between the stresses of school, getting ahead in your career and trying to remain a ~social butterfly~, the last thing any girl wants to do is carve out time to wash her hair—or even worse, cut into valuable sleeping/reading/TV-watching time.

Dry shampoo gives the people what they want—the glorious opportunity to go just one more day (or maybe a few more days) without washing their hair. But you don’t have to break the bank to maintain your greasy roots. Here are our picks for the best dry shampoos for babes on a budget.

Five Student Proof Hairstyles In Under Five Minutes

It’s 8:30 a.m. and you have lecture in half an hour, but you’ve been consistently hitting snooze since your first alarm went off an hour ago. Luckily there’s a Starbucks on the way to class and the pajama look is in, but what are you going to do about your I-Fell-Asleep-On-My-Textbook hair? All you need is 5-minutes and some hair product to show the world that you pretty much, basically ~almost~ woke up like this.

Technique Of The Week: Shay Mitchell Inspired Hair And Makeup

One look at Shay Mitchell’s Instagram feed has us picking our jaws off the floor. Our best guess for how she manages to have simultaneously flawless hair, skin and makeup is that she’s a goddess sent from the heavens to enlighten us all with her smokey eyes and beachy waves (either that or she has a killer hair/makeup team on her side- but we’ll go with a real-life goddess)
