In a hurry: easy hairstyles worth trying

It can be difficult to put together a great-looking, quick hairstyle when you’re pressed for time. A few simple and quick hairstyles up your sleeve can make all the difference, whether you’re running errands, meeting friends, or heading to work.

Fortunately, there are lots of low-effort, stylish, yet basic options available. These hairstyles, which range from sleek ponytails to messy buns, can instantly make you feel put together and confident.

We’ll look at some of the simplest and most adaptable hairstyles in this post so you can look your best even on a busy schedule.

Easy hairstyles for short hair

Very easy hairstyles for every day can be done for short hair: from 5 cm you can already play up the braiding, and shorter options – with different styling methods.

Buffing and back styling

A perfect choice for a night out as well as for daily use. Put mousse, gel, or foam (like Tecni mousse) on damp, clean hair. L’Oréal Professionnel’s Art Full Volume Extra was developed for strands that rapidly lose thickness and volume after styling. After using a hair dryer to blow dry your hair, brush it back and secure it with bobby pins or Redken’s Rewind 06 product.

Using the thin end of a comb, you can lift the hair on the crown. Try using powder Tecni and backcombing the roots for extra volume before styling. Both L’Oréal Professionnel’s Art Super Dust and Matrix’s Height Riser will boldly highlight the texture of a short haircut. I’d like to encourage you to consider these lovely examples of regular hairstyles for short haircuts that feature facial styling.

Remove the bangs

Additionally, only the hair close to the face—not just the bangs. Starting with the texture, curl your hair with a curling iron away from your face and apply a heat protectant (I like to use Kérastase’s serum Cicaplasme, which gives simply cosmic shine). Leave the edge straight rather than attempting to make the strands perfectly straight or curling to the ends.

Once the curls are formed, use an invisible pin to secure the tourniquet around the bangs or the front parietal strand. Wax Blast 10 by Redken spray wax can be used for fixation at the end.

Observe how the gathered bangs accentuate the facial lines’ elegance. Furthermore, this picture element lets you style your short hair in any way you want, from ultra-modern to vintage.

Braiding on the head

Easy hairstyles in the French style often include braiding, so you can do them quickly only if you already know the theory of creating braids. Sounds scarier than it exists in practice. Simply separate the part of the hair with which you will start moving during the styling process (elongated bangs pixie haircuts as an option), and weave one strand at a time into the braid, applying it to the rest. Move towards the back of the head and secure the braiding with an elastic band or invisible hairpin where you want to stop. Hide the fixation point under the main mass of hair. This version of an easy hairstyle for every day will allow, for example, to effectively open the ear and remove hair from the face. A thin French braid looks especially nice paired with a twin or two or three similar short braids.

It wouldn’t hurt to discipline the hair with a drop of Biolage’s Exquisite oil before braiding. It has an antistatic effect and doesn’t weigh down, which is a big plus for thin hair.

Why not add fake braids to compliment the braiding? Or how about creating a substantial inverted braid? Short hair is an opportunity rather than a barrier.

Simple hairstyles for medium hair

Gorgeous medium-length daily hairstyles: there are lots of options here that entail experimenting with texture. It’s simple to switch up your look; take a look at these beginner-friendly hairstyles for minimal effort and maximum impact!

Malvinka

You can do a malvina on your hair at home in under five minutes. Try experimenting with different looks each day. For example, gather hair on the sides and tie it up in the back, or create a braid, ponytail, or bun on the crown.

How about assembling a malvinka with bundles? The side strands of hair are twisted into bundles and separated from the main mass of hair. L’Oréal Professionnel’s Beach Waves texturizing spray is used to style them. In order to give the hairstyle more volume and texture, you must next gently pull the hair out of the bundles. Use a hair clip or a thin elastic band to fasten the bundles together beneath the crown.

Greek hairstyle with a bun or tail

An elastic band makes it simple and quick to create a low bun. After brushing your hair, pull it back into a ponytail. Using your hands, divide the hair into two sections above the elastic. Turn the ponytail inside out and thread the end inside.

You can either wear the ponytail this way or style it into a bun by re-wrapping the end inside the structure and creating a "passage" with your finger. Then, arrange the loose ends in that spot and fasten them with an invisible hairpin. Use Redken’s Quick Dry 18 spray to complete the style.

Heavy waves are the hallmark of Greek styling, as you have undoubtedly noticed. Curling the curls prior to creating the hairstyle is advised by stylists. Naturally, remember to use thermal protection as well, as no style is worth broken hair or split ends.

Braided ponytail

A convenient hairstyle option for every day or for sports. You will need about five elastic bands or more, depending on the length of your hair. Comb your hair, separate the upper part along with the bangs and fix the strands as in a malvinka. Then take two strands above the ears on both sides and combine them with the tail, securing them with an elastic band. Add a couple more strands. At the final stage, just make an indent from the last elastic band and secure the styling with another one. If you want to add volume, you can gently pull the elastic bands and loosen the strands in the styling with the tip of a comb. For more reliable fixation, you can spray each elastic band with hairspray before use, and then the place of fixation. Even more examples are in the photo selection and in the article dedicated to braids based on elastic bands.

All of this seems to be intricate weaving, don’t you think? For those who would rather not spend more than ten minutes in front of the mirror, it is actually a very clever styling.

Bun or bun for every day

Choose whether to place the bun high or low. Pull your hair back into a ponytail without using an elastic band. Twist the hair into a tourniquet and wrap it around the base while holding it in your hands. Secure the ponytail with invisible hairpins after putting it inside. The second possible hairstyle is to divide the top section of hair and tie it up in a ponytail. With an elastic band, gather the remaining strands into a bun, add the top strand to the bun, and cover the elastic band with a ponytail.

Kérastase Thickening Mousse, Densimorphose Additional information

If you want to create a messy, voluminous bun, you can use Densimorphose mousse on damp hair or lightly comb the crown and add powder to the roots. It gives the strands a noticeable lift and thickening.

Is it any wonder that these buns all have an appearance similar to that of models getting ready for a commercial? The styling holds the key. Styling products can give any texture, from flawless smoothness to the appearance of wet hair, and help create volume and correct unusual styling lines. Remember, our professionals: don’t undervalue styling.

Lace bun

DIY easy hairstyles for medium hair don’t always have to be uncomplicated and carefree. They might be peculiar. One excellent example is openwork weaving. Starting from the forehead and working your way back, create two braids on your head. Bring the strands together, adding fresh curls, and fasten the braids at the back into a full bun, held in place with an invisible hairpin. Try not to overdo things; a little carelessness is fashionable.

Simple hairstyles for long hair

Easy daily hairstyles for long hair that are diverse and unique will astonish you, as they go beyond simple buns and braids. View a list of the most straightforward choices.

Hidden ponytail

For both special occasions and everyday wear, an easy-to-style ponytail that has been cleverly hidden is a sweet and sophisticated choice. Use a semicircular horizontal parting to divide the top portion of your hair, then use an elastic band to pull the remaining hair back into a ponytail. To make the strands lie diagonally, spread half of the strands from the upper, free layer over the tail and toss them to the left or right. Toss the remaining tier’s hair over the resultant structure; it will lie in the other direction. Tuck the ends under the tail to conceal the styling attachment point.

On curls, such lovely hairstyles appear striking and unique. When using a curling iron, remember to wear heat protection (Redken’s Iron Shape 11).

Long hair looks great in ponytails when accessorized with hidden fixation or accent hairpins or elastic bands.

Knot

Cool hairstyles for long hair can be made using voluminous knots. How to beautifully collect hair? Comb them from the face to the back of the head. Separate two small strands (2-3 cm thick) from the top and tie them in a knot (without strong tension), take strands from the sides below and repeat the action. Depending on the length of the hair, there can be many knots. Secure the structure of knots with a thin elastic band, like a regular tail, you can wrap the tip inward and fix it with a thin elastic band. And if desired, all the ends can be styled in a figured manner and fixed with invisible hairpins, but then it will take more time.

If required, use hairspray to secure the knots after straightening them with your hands; this is crucial for thin, straight hair in particular. Try the spray Tecni for dependable styling. Art 6-Fix Pure is a professional product of L’Oréal. When it comes to long hair, volume in daily styling may be the most crucial factor. Examine its potential.

Even when you’re just washing your hair, stylists are already creating a wide range of voluminous hairstyles. Swap out your regular shampoo for a volumizing one and use Matrix’s lamellar water High Amplify as your conditioner.

The perfect high ponytail

Owners of long and heavy hair know that the ponytail always quickly slides down, but there is a good life hack against this problem. Easy styling with ponytail will turn out with the following technique: separate the strand from the top into a tail and secure it with an elastic band, on the crown of the head near the elastic band, divide it into two parts with your hands and thread the tail through the resulting hole with a movement from the back of the head to the face (in fact, you turn the tail inward). Comb the rest of your hair and gather it into a ponytail as close to the small ponytail as possible, then thread the resulting shock through it. Straighten the visible strands, and wrap the small ponytail around the large ponytail, securing it with invisible pins. To make your hair shine beautifully and be easy to comb, apply a multifunctional spray to your curls before styling One United Elixir by Redken.

For an opulent oriental ponytail, you can curl the ends of your hair or make big curls all the way around. Being a long-haired princess is very easy.

Donuts

Donuts are proof that casual hairstyles can be both fashionable and whimsical. It’s really easy; just follow the detailed directions. How to create a stunning hairdo: Split the hair in half, then gather two ponytails at the top or nape of the head. Using your hands, fluff the ponytails for a texturizing effect, wrap them to resemble a bun (you can get creative and take inspiration from Cinnabons if you like), and fasten them with invisible hairpins. Pulling the strands out of the styling a little will help you loosen it. Secure with hairpins.

A symmetrical bun can have a warm, inviting appearance. Or bold and colorful, which goes well with celebrations and festivals; for these occasions, glitter is required.

Quick and simple hairstyles come in handy when you’re pressed for time but still want to look put together. There are many styles that look put together with little effort, like easy braids, sleek ponytails, and messy buns. These looks are ideal for hectic mornings, last-minute plans, or any other time you’re in a hurry and need a quick hair fix.

Photo ideas of beautiful hairstyles with braids

Braids are so unique and beautiful that they can be used to create easy hairstyles for any occasion. Wear them with buns, ponytails, and loosely curled hair. View some inspiration for braided hairstyles in the gallery.

Twisted bun

Two or three ponytails can be braided and combined into a lovely "bun". An excellent choice for long hair!

Braid from bangs

Bangs can be woven into the main mass of hair to create a unique and stylish look. Asymmetrical braiding and basic hairstyles with partially loose hair are appropriate for daily wear and an active lifestyle.

Malvina with braids

Malvina is the quickest hairstyle to style long hair in a comfortable way. There are various braiding options available, such as a fishtail on the head or just two braids made from side strands that are joined at the back with a hairpin or elastic band.

Fishtail and a bun based on it

A fishtail braided hairstyle can be wrapped either way to create a voluminous bun. Various hairstyles are possible, such as a partial fishtail that can be finished into a ponytail or bun.

Nest or crown

You can create visually appealing hairstyles by arranging two braids at the back or above the forehead, one after the other. You will receive either a fashionable crown or a neat "nest" styling, depending on which option you select.

Interesting ideas for everyday hairstyles with ponytails and buns

Ordinary hairstyles can appear sophisticated and captivating based on the overall integrity of the image, which is greatly influenced by clothing and makeup. Try these commonplace styling options!

High sleek bun

A timeless classic that is cherished by people other than flight attendants is the minimalist sleek bun. The key to keeping your hair from looking dirty is to use styling products sparingly.

Low voluminous bun

A chic hairstyle with a back bun is appropriate for daily activities, business meetings, and the workplace. You can feel free to wear this look on a date as well as at work.

Ponytail with braiding

Any ponytail, whether worn high or low, can look unique and stylish with partial head braiding. This option is appropriate for employees in creative professions and for jobs with a lax dress code.

Low voluminous ponytail

Which team will you play for today, a casual low ponytail with bundles on the side or a sophisticated and romantic low ponytail based on curls? In the first option, a strand must be used to mask the elastic; in the second, three bundles of strands at varying heights are formed and gathered on the side in any way that is practical. In my opinion, it’s best to choose "your own tail" based on the situation rather than restricting yourself to just one!

Fashionable options for everyday hairstyles with curls

Everyone can have stylish, simple hairstyles, even those with curls. Have a look at these stylish options for curly hair. And in just a few minutes, you can complete them all by yourself!

Gather on the sides

Twist the front hair in bundles close to the face, then fasten with hairpins. And voilà! The hairdo is prepared! especially important in the morning when you’re pressed for time and can’t think of anything.

A careless bun or bun

The beauty of curly hair is that you don’t even need to exert yourself to cover up the elastic. Put your hair up in a bun, and the curls will take care of themselves! This hairdo appears incredibly imaginative and unique. Another variation of a careless bun is when hair is gathered in a bun based on a braid.

Greek goddess

Part the hair vertically in half, twist the hair into bundles, and secure them at the back to form a ponytail. After fastening, flip the strands and insert them into the tail, covering the elastic band. Fix invisible, then move on to control the elements!

Spit and tail

Beginning at the forehead and working your way up to the crown, braid the strands on one side only. Reach the preferred location in the middle of the back of the head (where the tail will be), blend in with the other hair, and secure with an elastic band.

The effect of wet hair

This style works well on hair of all lengths, but it’s particularly simple to achieve on short haircuts. Curls make styling much easier, and they’ll work well with gel-elastic and salt sprays.

How to make a light beautiful hairstyle at home: in 5 minutes

• Apply a little powder to the hair roots, for example Height Riser from Matrix. Comb the strands and slightly comb the crown at the roots.

• Form the tail with your hands, pull the hair to the left and fix it with invisibles in the middle.

• Raising the shock up, tighten the strands into the tourniquet and stick under the hair inside.

• Fasten the ends and falling strands with invisible.

• Fix the hairstyle with hairspray. I liked it Elnett from L’Oréal Professionnel – it is simply ideal for natural, "non-glossy" styling.
