Are you inspired by Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler or Miranda Lambert? Wondering what it feels like to be a real country girl? To be a country girl requires a combination of mindset and look, even if no two country girls are alike. Follow these simple steps to understand what it means to be a country girl!
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Part One: The Appearance
Step 1. Style your hair
Country girls love braids, voluminous and curly hair. Your hair should be long, wavy and natural. Curly or wavy hair is preferable, but if you have straight hair, it will be fine too. Country girls have brown, red or blonde hair. Leave pink, purple, metallic and silver hair to city girls!
Step 2. Get the boots
Every country girl needs her boots! Have your own custom boots made or purchase a pair from a local store. Every country girl has boots military to go hunting and has a pair to work, ride a horse or to show them off.
Step 3. Take care of your personal hygiene
When country girls aren't out there working and getting dirty, you can bet they are clean. Just because they work and sweat doesn't mean they can't smell like a tulip when the sun goes down. Shower often, brush your teeth twice a day, and don't forget to floss. Use a deodorant and a splash of a light, floral, summery perfume.
Step 4. Use natural and minimal makeup
Try not to look fake. If you need to correct blemishes, use a few drops of tinted moisturizer to even out your skin without looking too made up.
- Dark circles don't look fresh, so if you have them, apply a concealer that reflects light near the lash line. Sprinkle some powder on the concealer to get it set.
- Curl your lashes. If you've been blessed with naturally dark and long lashes, skip this step. Otherwise, apply 1-2 coats of brown mascara on the upper lash.
- Apply a neutral blush to your cheeks. Use what's left on the brush after swiping your cheeks to add color to your forehead, nose and chin.
- Finish off with a clear or neutral lip gloss on your lips (nothing sparkly).
Method 2 of 3: Part Two: Activities
Step 1. Spend a lot of time outdoors
Country girls don't waste their lives indoors watching TV or on the computer! They work hard and with motivation. When not working, hanging out with friends, feeling free, or just lying in the sun, absorbing vitamin D!
- Many country girls work on farms. This means moving hay, milking cows, building fences, looking after livestock. You don't have to live on a farm to be country, but it certainly would help.
- When not working, a country girl can simply go for a walk, rest near a watering hole, or be outside. Country girls are independent, and therefore they learn to do things without resorting to technology or the help of others.
- Many country girls go hunting, fishing, camping, horseback riding, and most of all they dance! These are all things that teens living in the South of the United States do most weekends.
Step 2. Get to know and participate in sports
Country girls often love to watch and play football, and they love horses. This does not mean that they are not feminine! Femininity will actually complement your country girl attitude. Country girls can be very feminine, and they can choose bright and pink accessories like all girls.
- Get involved in football. Country girls love the football, especially at the collegial level. Make sure you watch the games and get to know your favorite team well. If you don't have one, cheer on your home team.
- Learn to appreciate traditional country games. Cornhole, horseshoe throwing, and car racing are of great interest to country girls.
Step 3. Never give up an opportunity to get your hands dirty
Country girls work hard and aren't afraid to get dirty. Go outside and mow the garden or help your dad fix the car, etc.
Step 4. Learn to love animals
Take care of many pets. Dog breeds suitable for country style include hounds, coonhounds, retrievers, herding dogs and collies,
- Don't get an animal just to get one. If you decide to get an animal, you need to know that you will be responsible for its care and will have to grow it to adulthood, and not abandon it as soon as it is no longer cute and a wad of fur.
- Dogs make excellent hunting companions. If you go hunting turkeys, ducks or quail, try to convince your family to get you a hunting dog who can assist you. It will be rewarding for the dog and you will have gotten a hunting companion.
Step 5. Learn
Go to school and value your education. Get to know the animal world well. Don't neglect geography. If you want to pursue a career that fits your style, study biology, agriculture, zoology or marine biology.
- Country girls may not know lyric and not be sophisticated, but that doesn't mean they're stupid. On the contrary, they have a lot of practical knowledge and are in great harmony with nature. Don't be superficial or stupid because you think it's a country style requirement - it doesn't.
- Part of a country girl's education is knowing how things work. Whether it's how to fix a carburetor, or how to care for plants, you need to have a lot of folk wisdom to be a true country girl.
Method 3 of 3: Part Three: Attitude
Step 1. Take care of your manners
Address people older than you and your superiors with respect, as well as remember to say "thank you" and "please". Don't speak in dialect if you don't know it well - it will sound ridiculous and offensive to the ears of those who actually speak it. A city girl can be country like a country girl, even without knowing the dialect.
Step 2. Learn to love country music
Taylor Swift, Josh Turner, Tim McGraw, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Kellie Pickler, Toby Keith, Jason Aldean, Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, and Alan Jackson; get to know all these names well.
Concerts are great opportunities to listen to live music and hang out with friends. Try going to a few concerts to get an idea of what country music sounds like when you hear it for yourself
Step 3. Get respected
Country girls have good manners, are polite and simple, if you have to make a generalization; but they do not tolerate stupidity and are not afraid to say it as it is. Learn to trust your beliefs and respect them.
- Faith is a fundamental aspect of the life of many country girls, but it is not a fundamental prerequisite. Many country girls are devoted believers who go to church every Sunday and have a strong relationship with their community. If you live like this too, keep doing it. Otherwise don't try to force this aspect. Be yourself and everything will be fine.
- Country girls respect their guys, but don't let them take advantage of them. Country girls are sweet, sensitive, and selfless. But they also demand loyalty and respect from their men.
Step 4. Be proud of being a country girl
Be proud of who you are and where you come from. People will respect you for it. If people say, "I hate country style," don't get nervous, but behave in a friendly and kind way so that others can't blame you for your attitude. If you understand that someone is trying to offend you, always try to be kind and not rude.
- Country girls are bubbly, bright, strong-willed, fun, and down-to-earth. In addition, country girls love to laugh and joke a lot, especially by the sea on a beach.
- Be humble. Don't be arrogant. Country people are kind, kindhearted and generous. Practice giving without waiting for anything back. Practice giving people the benefit of the doubt.
- Be fun. Humor can make you happy again even when you are feeling sad. Make a funny joke when you can! And don't be afraid to be self-deprecating; you will show that you don't take yourself too seriously.
- Be adventurous.
