The last thing I want to spend a lot of time on in the early hours of the morning is my hair. However, I still want to look put together at work. So, here are a few quick and easy styles that look chic.. even if you haven't washed your hair in a day or two!
The side braid is a great way to get your hair out of your face without putting it in a boring ponytail. Pull all of your hair to one side and braid away! Once your hair is braided, gently tug at the sides to loosen the braid give off the illusion that you have a lot more hair. Pull out some shorter layers of hair that frame your face and tussle to add a little edge. Add some volumizing spray and tease around the crown before braiding to make your hair look even more fabulous.
Another one of my go-to hair styles is a bun! Here are two variations that I use on a regular basis. First, the ever popular top knot bun! I have really fine hair and for the longest time I thought I would never be able to achieve this look. Thanks to Luxy Hair clip-in extensions, I can now rock a big top knot bun! If you are using extensions for this look make sure to clip them in upside down so when you pull your hair up the clips will lay flat. I clip in a weft near the base of my neck, in line with my ears, and near the top of my head. Pull all your hair up on the top of your head and secure with a hair tie. Then loosely wrap hair around the hair tie and go bobby pin crazy! I use so many to make sure my bun isn't budging throughout the day. Second is a seashell bun. This bun will make you look like you have a ton of hair without any extensions needed! Flip your hair over, pull up to the top of your head and begin twisting the hair tie around. On the last twist, pull your hair halfway through to create a loop facing upwards. At this point it should look like a small fan. Gently pull at the side until your bun is as big as you want it and secure with bobby pins.
Top off any of these styles with my favorite hairspray, L'Oreal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray! It has a strong hold without making your hair crunchy.
