OK my sweet 16 is coming up in 8 weeks and idk how i should do my hair!!! My mom says keep it natural but idk wat to do with it if i keep it natural! HELP!!!
well its sorta hard to see your hair in your photo but what i would do is straiten your whole head and then take a med/small hair curler and twist the ends with it. Its your sweet 16, you can go natural any other day!
i agree with a half up/half down. you cant go wrong with that. of course curly. add in something unique like jewels that match your dress or a tiara. and let a few small baby curls loose at your ears and forehead. i did a half up/half down for my sweet 16 and added a tiara. i'll attach a picture (:
For mine, I did a loose, messy side bun with a french braid across the front. Something carefree, not too serious or sleek would be great. Remember, it's a sweet 16!! Have FUN!!
I'm kind of in love with your hair so I really wouldn't straighten it or curl it. It has such beautiful texture and volume as is! Maybe just add a bit of shine serum for a bit of sleekness and do it half up.
Half up is really great because it'll keep your hair off your face so you won't have to worry about that when you're dancing and having fun. Just keep it simple and maybe add some braids for a little bit of texture.
Okay, not to sound totally creepy but I was just on your profile and I noticed you liked this Everyday Boho Braid video. How about doing that but adding a sparkly accessory for some flair? Maybe a sparkly headband or mini tiara? I think it'd look great for your sweet 16!

Depends on your dress and facial features however keep in mind it's in 8 weeks and braids that are so in right now would be perfect!
