Back to School Hairstyles at Aurelio Salon & Spa in Howell, NJ

Summer is winding down and fall is coming in fast — and with it, a fresh start and a reason to update your look. Whether you’re heading back to school or just embracing the new season, the right hairstyle can make a real difference in how put-together you feel every morning without spending a lot of time. Here are some of our favorite quick, stylish looks from the team at Aurelio Salon & Spa in Howell, NJ.

The Boho Braid: Effortless and On-Trend

Boho-inspired braided styles are one of the most versatile looks for fall. A chic crown twist that flows into a fishtail braid gives you a polished but relaxed result in just a few minutes. The key to nailing the boho braid is to not overthink it — the messier and more organic the braid looks, the better. Pull a few pieces out around the face, let the texture breathe, and you have a look that transitions effortlessly from a morning class to an afternoon out. Pair with a nude lip, mascara, and thin liner for a complete style.

The Effortless Fishtail Braid

A loose fishtail braid pulled to one side is one of the most useful styles for busy mornings — especially on days when your hair won’t fully cooperate. It takes about five minutes, works on second or third-day hair, and stays looking intentional all day. Apply a light texture spray before braiding to add grip and prevent the braid from slipping loose. A dab of smoothing crème on the hairline controls any flyaways without weighing the style down.

The High Ponytail

A sleek or textured high ponytail is a perennial go-to that always looks polished. Brush the hair up smooth for a clean, classic result, or add volume and texture for a more casual feel. Wrapping a small piece of hair around the elastic finishes the look. For extra staying power, a light-hold spray on the surface of the ponytail keeps it looking fresh all day.

Products That Make These Styles Work

The right products make every style easier and longer-lasting. A professional dry shampoo at the roots refreshes second-day hair and adds texture for braids and updos. A texture or messing crème adds grip for braids and gives them a naturally undone feel. And a light-hold finishing spray locks everything in without stiffness. Ask your stylist at your next appointment for specific product recommendations for your hair type.
