Who loves back-to-school hair tutorials? Well, sometimes, even adults…including us! Check out our favorite picks for YouTube hairdos here.
Being 23 and out of college, the end of summer signifies little to me besides the imminent need for a space heater and fluffier sweaters. But for tons of teens and people in their early twenties, the fall represents returning to their respective learning establishments, whether that be high school, college, or anywhere else that kids are learning to do stuff these days (it’s been around 14 months since I left school so, obviously, everything has totally changed).
Something that always drove me crazy when I was getting ready to return: how difficult it is to figure out new styles. The pressure to “reinvent” yourself like an aging pop star making a comeback is bizarrely pervasive (at least, it was for me, as I transferred in high school and felt obligated to be…I don’t know, “a new Sam,” or something). Obviously, this is not some requisite for growing up, but change is almost always a fun thing when it comes to style, so why not run with it and try out one of these fantastic tutorials for your first day of, well, anything?
