Mastering difficult hairstyles is one of life’s great pleasures. But there are times we just want to hit the snooze button one last time before we go out, put in minimum effort but still look fabulous. Well, it turns out, celebrities do this too. Here we’ve rounded up 6 of the best styles that’ll pass your Easy Hairstyle Test that are cute AND efficient.
The Top Knot
Effortlessly chic and only takes around 3 minutes, ideal when you’re really pushed for time. All you have to do is whack your hair into a ponytail at whatever your desired height, twist the hair around and secure with bobby pins. Use matt pins for more grip and be sure to choose the colour that’s closest to your hair so they blend in. For curly-haired girls, pull two strands down at the front to frame your face and voila! Beautiful easy hair.
Natural Beach Waves
Okay, you’re not going to see ‘natural beach waves’ and correlate that with ‘fast’ but this hairstyle is so much easier than it sounds. Dig out your hair straighteners; grab a small section of hair and glide down the strand gently flipping it away from your face. You’ll have a bouncy curl! Maximum 20 minutes for your whole head.
The Easy Blowout
Prep with a heat protector, section roughly and use a round brush to blow the hair out. Keep the hair tight on the brush and make sure your whole head is dry (easy to miss at the nape) and you’ll have top-notch shine. Finish the look with a good hairspray and you’ll be ready to carpe diem.
The Twisted Bun
For this one, you need a strong gel to hand. Comb through hair with a stiff Denman brush, warm up the gel in your hands, sleek your strands back and secure with an elastic. Use a toothbrush to really sleek down those edges. Then twist and pin the bun.
The Cute Ribbon Hairstyle
We don’t think there is a less time-consuming way to take your hairstyle from 0-100 in around two minutes, all with the purchase of a good ribbon or bow. Just twist, tie, go.
