Lauren Conrad Always Did These Five Things To Her Hair

1. The Bump

Even before we followed Conrad to the Hollywood Hills, we were watching her high school life unfold in Laguna Beach – you know, the real O.C. Being an upperclassmen making her way through TV-produced love triangles, Conrad often chose to keep her hair out of her face to look out for drama.
Conrad rocked the bump any time she could in the early 2000s. But didn't we all?
If you binge the entire The Hills series, you'll notice Conrad reaching for this black, plastic option a lot. In fact, you barely see her without it in the early seasons. We get the obsession: There was something so attractive about the trendy hair accessory because it made you feel instantly put together, no matter what your hair was doing.
Conrad ditched the accessory eventually, but the memory of the aching pain behind our ears lives on.
The real beauty of the side-swept bang was that it could be paired with any length haircut or updo, like this half-up look.
But even more often, Conrad was a fan of pairing her side-swept bangs with a low, loose updo.
Eventually, it grew out (as hair normally does). However, we'll always remember the original trendy lob that had us wondering if we should go for the chop, too.
5. The Single Braid

Necessity is the mother of invention, right? Back in 2008, Conrad called upon a small, delicate side braid to keep her fringe out of the way as it grew out. And, you know, so did we.
If you weren’t braiding your bangs then you probably weren’t watching The Hills. And if you weren’t watching The Hills, how were you spending your Monday nights? The key part of this hairstyle: It was always non-symmetrical.
Here's the thing: This look was versatile AF. Not only could Conrad use this look to complement her barrel curls, but she could also turn any lazy updo into a black-tie style with one quick plait.
