Top 10 quick and easy hairstyles

When you’re strapped for time, nothing seems more tedious than making your hair look presentable. Sometimes, you don’t even have time to give it a wash, which means you need a hairstyle that will deflect from that fact with tons of style, all on-the-quick! Here are a few hairstyles that will make your morning routine a bit easier, and they all look like you put in the effort.

The braided crown

The braided crown

Start by forming a braid on the left side of your head, then get to work braiding, slowly working in new hair as you move to the other side of your head. Secure the braid with a clear elastic and use a bobby pin to keep it in place. To give it a fuller look, simply use the edge of a comb and gently pull at each section of the braid.

Possibly the easiest look to create, the low ponytail is sophisticated and classic, and takes about 10 seconds to create. Gather your hair toward the center of your neck and simply secure with an elastic. Keep it classy by twisting a piece of your hair around the base, hiding the elastic.
