Listen, we’ve all been there. No matter how hard you tried, you’re running late and your hair is still a mess. Sometimes, time just doesn’t seem to make sense.
That’s why we all need some hair tricks in our back pocket for when we just have to get out of the house, but still look presentable. In fact, I would argue that many of these hairstyles will leave you looking like you spent a lot more time doing them than you actually did.
Most of these styles work best if you don’t wash your hair. Just add a few sprits of dry shampoo first to dry out any oil and give your hair some volume and then go for it.
Sure, they might take a little bit of practice, so you may not want to wait until the morning you sleep through your alarm to try them out, but if you’ve been looking for quick and easy hairstyles that still look super chic – we’ve got you covered.
Easy Hairstyles for When You’re Short on Time:
1. 3 1-Minute Hairstyle – By MakeupWearables Hairstyles
We may not all have the thick, shiny hair of this vlogger, but I think these three styles will translate to many different types of hair lengths and types.
Plus, if you did style your hair a day or two before, you could easily revive some of that body and style quickly before putting together one of these looks.
