There is no greater sense of dread and panic than waking up and realizing you overslept. It happens to the best of us. Despite this, you don’t want to look like you’ve thrown yourself together in less than ten minutes. Consider one of these quick hairstyles for busy mornings to save the day:
1. Simple Waves
Preparing ahead of time is key if you frequently find yourself oversleeping with little time to style your locks in the morning. Avoid the rush by prepping your hair before you go to bed. Start with dry hair and then spritz with a spray gel or mousse. From there, divide your hair straight down the middle and create two ponytails. Twist the length of each ponytail around the base of the hair tie and then secure it in place. When you take it down in the morning, you will have flawless waves in a matter of seconds.
If you didn’t prepare your hair the night before, you can still achieve waves in a matter of minutes. Start with damp hair and then add your favorite styling product. Scrunch your hair and then spritz with hairspray and allow it to air dry during your commute. By the time you arrive at your destination, your loose waves will be dry and set to last all day.
2. Accessorized Messy Bun
The messy bun is a staple look for those of us who find ourselves running late or lacking style inspiration in the morning. It only takes a few seconds to pull off, can disguise oil at the roots, and stays in place all day. If you like the simplicity of the hairstyle but want to dress it up a bit, consider adding an accessory. An adorable scrunchie, ribbon or a few flowers can make a world of difference and it only takes seconds to pull off as you run out the door.
3. Pinned Back
For those who have long bangs or layers towards the front of the face, it can be frustrating to have these pieces of hair falling forward all day long. If you’re in the middle of growing out your bangs or simply want a quick way to get the hair out of your face, try pinning these sections back. Pull a few strands backward and secure them together at the back of your head. This look is classic and looks like you put a lot of effort into it, but it only takes a minute to perfect.
4. Half-Up, Half-Down
The half-up, half-down hairstyle is a classic choice for those who love the convenience of an updo but the look of their hair down. There are a number of variations but all of them look fabulous and can be done in a matter of seconds. If you find that you experience a lot of flyaways when trying to perfect the updo portion, consider spritzing some hairspray on an old toothbrush and combing them down. This will allow the look to last for hours without needing a touchup.
