Have You Forgotten About This Cute, Easy Hairstyle Idea? Petra Nemcova Is Here to Remind You

I bet this hairstyle on Petra Nemcova is one you've worn before (minus that slicked-back side; most of us would just leave that part loose). This is an easy hairstyle idea every girl should keep in her repertoire, I think, but personally I've forgotten to do it lately. It's more fun than a ponytail but is similarly great on those days when your roots are flat and/or the top of your hair's just not cooperating. You could use a pretty little barrette or hairpin to dress up this look, but I love Petra's ultra-simple and easy take: She used just three basic bobby pins. (I love how bobbies have evolved from styling necessities you try to hide to accessories you show off!) Of course, it's NOT so easy to get our hair looking so perfectly wavy—but this hairstyle still looks cute even without the bombshell texture. Do you ever do a half-back hairstyle that's off to one side like this? What's your go-to easy hairstyle these days? Photo: Getty Images
