When you’re running short on time or don’t feel like putting a lot of effort into your hairstyle, we’ve got your back. All of these hairstyles are easy to achieve and add a little something extra to your look!

Half Up Half Down Top Knot

This effortless hairstyle is perfect for those 8:00 A.M. classes when you just barely have enough time to get ready.  All you have to do is brush your hair into the part of your choice.  Once your hair is knot free, take your fingers and pull back half of your hair.  Next, take the hair you pulled back and wrap it into a bun on the top of your head.  Pull the bun apart until you have the perfect amount of messiness.

Twisted Ponytail

If you’re a ponytail girl, you’ll love this look. Put your hair in a low ponytail and tie it off about an inch from the back of your head. Split the inch of hair between the hair tie and the back of your head in half. Take your hair and pull it through the hole. Then, adjust the ponytail until the hole is covered and you’ll have a cute twisted ponytail. This look is a great way to shake up an everyday hairstyle in less than a minute!

Twist Half Up Half Down

If you’re running short on time but still want to look put together, this hairstyle is perfect for you.  Start out by brushing out your hair into the part of your choice.  Take a small section of hair from the front of your part and twist that back. Then, repeat that step on the other side and use a bobby pin or hair tie to secure the two twists in the back of your head.

The Messy Bun

Messy buns are the perfect hairstyle for those lazy days. Start by brushing your hair up into a ponytail, but don’t tie it off just yet.  Take your hair and start tying it off, but instead of making a ponytail pull your hair halfway through the hair tie and then stop. Take the leftover hair and wrap it around the base of the bun. Use bobby pins to hold the bun in place. You can adjust the messiness of the bun by bobby pinning certain pieces of hair in place.
