Hair trends, just like fashion, have cycles. What was hip and stylish in the '60s and '70s has come back around, and this time it's all about the hair. Boho, which is short for bohemian, draws its influence from a time when being less structured and relaxed included flowing locks, loose braids, and messy but sexy updos.
Since busy days call for quick hairstyles, these seven boho styles are just the thing to get you looking great in no time. Most of them require just a few hair elastics and decorative flair. They're ideal for beginners, too, because perfection is never the goal. Think messy, loose, and relaxed. That's boho style.
