Have you ever known someone whose hair was always perfect? Coming up with a cute hairstyle on the fly takes more than just skill. You need to have a few go-to options that you can rely on, especially when those autumn winds blow in.
These easy styles will keep your tresses tamed even when you don't have a lot of time to get ready. To be sure you've got everything you need, pick up a few bobby pins, hair elastics, and headbands on your next shopping trip. All of these styles come together quickly, so get ready to change up your look this season.
Flower braid
When you're feeling that bohemian vibe, you need a hairstyle to match. This flower braid comes together in a flash. Create a single skinny braid on each side of your head. Secure them in the back with bobby pins. Next, twist both braids into a coil to form the flower. You'll look playful and relaxed instantly.
20-second updo
Updos don't have to be complicated to be chic. A low bun can look boring and dated, but this style has classic appeal. Secure your hair at the nape of your neck with an elastic. Braid the ponytail, and then twist it into a low bun. Hold the bun in place with a few hidden bobby pins, and you'll be out the door in no time.
Easy curls
Curling your hair can be a chore, especially if it's really long, but you can hack the process by tackling it differently. Instead of curling all your hair while it's down, pull it back into a soft ponytail before curling it. By having all the hair pulled together, you'll be able to see when you've curled everything. Once you're done, remove the elastic, and let those gorgeous curls fall freely over your shoulders.
Twist and pin
If braiding isn't your strong suit, grab a few bobby pins and try this twisted double bun style. Divide your hair into two sections, and then twist the upper portion into a coil. Pin it in place and then repeat the process with the lower section. Don't worry about stray hairs or making the coils perfectly. Sometimes messy is sexy.
Headband tuck
Need to get your hair off your face in a hurry? Grab a pretty headband and wrap sections of hair over it to create a quick updo. The front part of the headband remains exposed, so choose something that complements your outfit. Weave large sections over the headband, and then secure the loose ends inside the lower coil with bobby pins.
Triple inverted ponytail
The 1990s may be history, but the Topsy Tail ponytail tool continues to inspire new styles. If you don't have the plastic gadget with the loop on top, your fingers will work just fine. Pull the top portion of your hair back and secure it with an elastic band. Use your fingers to divide the hair in half above the elastic, and then lift the ponytail up and over it to create an inverted twist. Repeat the process two or more times to achieve this impressive chevron design.
Stay pretty!
