Classes are well under way, but some of us are still getting used to the early mornings. And some mornings, a girl’s tresses just do not want to behave. When these days happen, and they will, try these stylish methods to make primping in the morning a breeze.

1. Classic “Sock” Bun: This look literally takes about 60 seconds! It styles for both casual and professional occasions too. Pair it with dazzling earrings to frame your face and complete a girly girl look! This hairstyle works with all types of personal styles.

2. 20’s headband: If you are looking to stand out in a crowd, try this headband on for size. And the decorations on the bands are not limited to bows. I have seen flowers, buttons, ribbons, and beads all fastened onto headbands. Find one that works for you!

3. The Hunger Games “Katniss” Braid: Ideal for an active individual, this hairstyle, if done correctly, stays put, and is much more flattering than a ponytail. Simply separate hair in three sections on either the left or right side, and begin braiding diagonally downward. After you learn it once, it’s a piece of cake. If Katniss approves, what more do you need to know?

4. Multiple headbands at onceYes, this style is very cute when executed properly. The trick to this look is making sure the headbands stay on. If you run into any problems, secure the bands with a couple of bobby pins. Don’t be afraid to mix and match! The bands themselves can be thin or thick, homemade or store-bought, depending on what look you are going for. What you do with the rest of your hair is up to you! It can be worn loose, in an updo, a low bun, or a ponytail. 

5. Bow it up, just like Rihanna: To achieve this look, Rihanna pinned up her locks into a loose updo, and used a polka dot scarf as a headband with a bow for the final touch. Feel free to use any scarf you want, and tie whichever way you like! This hairstyle has a lot of freedom, so it is perfect for everyone seeking to spruce up their hairstyle!
