Unless you sport a pixie or a bob cut you will have nothing to complain about the rainy season. But if you have anywhere from middle-length to long hair, you will dread monsoons. You can neither avoid humidity nor the frizz that tags along. Well, if your hair too are entangled in such woes, then it is time to give your strands a stylish yet practical twist this season. So, here is a do-it-yourself cheat sheet to get your hair monsoon ready!
#1. Side-braided ponytail

Styling tips:
- Make a side-part and take a small section of your hair from the front left side to your left temple and let it hang loose like a flick.
- Now split your hair (a section of it, again) into three and give it a simple weave to make a braid.
- To make your braid look thicker, stretch it a bit and secure the end of the braid with a rubber band.
- Now gather rest of your hair into a ponytail.
- After that, take the rubber band off the braid, so that you secure both the braid and the ponytail with one elastic/rubber band.
- In order to hide the band, you can very carefully with a small piece of your hair cover the band.

Styling tips:
- Dampen your hair (not scalp!) slightly with wet fingers, and then brush out any knots.
- Secure your hair in a high ponytail using an elastic band.
- Now brush your hair again, and twist it to give it a tight rope-like look.
- Very carefully, wrap your hair tightly around the base of your ponytail and pin your hair with bobby pins before finally securing the end of your ponytail hair into the ponytail base.
- Since a ballerina bun is supposed to be neat, make sure these is not a single strand of hair straying on your face or off the bun as well. If your hair is frizzy then use a hair spray to tame your hair around the forehead.
