Some girls love styling their hair but for the rest of us, we're always on the lookout for cute, easy hairstyles we can do in less than ten minutes, and still look great. That's where these styles come in: whether you're doing your hair for a special occasion, or just need a quick hairstyle for busy mornings, they've got you covered. And they aren't just for long haircuts, either.
1.Pin Curl Twist:-
Time it took us:
5 minutes
Works on:
· Medium or long hair
· Sorta dirty hair
Stuff to have handy:
· Bobby pins
· Hairspray
How to:
Step 1
Brush out a 2-inch-wide bang section and secure back with two bobby pins. Loosen a bit with your fingers by tugging at the hairline.
Step 2
Now you're left with a section of hair over each ear. Run your index finger from behind your left ear up to the crown of your head. Smooth this section of hair into a low ponytail behind your left ear then twist the pony twice toward the back of your head. Secure the remaining tail with bobby pins, then repeat on the right side. Connect the two twists with a bobby pin.
Step 3
And that leaves the always fashionable "mullet" at the nape of your neck. You can leave it like that. We're all done.
Step 4
Just kidding. Back to the mullet. Hold your left index and middle finger under the bobby pins in Step 2, and roll a messy 1-inch section of hair up around your fingers to create a coil. Pinch it, slip it off your fingers and secure with a bobby pin. Don't attach it to the twists in Step 2 or you'll pull them out. Repeat with remaining hair until it's all pinned up.
Step 5
2.Hello, Sailor:-
Time it took us:
10 minutes
Works on:
· Medium or long hair a day after shampooing
Stuff to have handy:
· 1-inch curling iron
· Bobby pins
· Hairspray
How To:
Step 1
Make a side part. Starting with the bigger side, gather front section from the ear to your part and smooth it so the hairline is bump-free. Then twist several times upward toward your part.
Step 2
Secure the hair along the line of the twist with several bobby pins. At the end of the twist, criss-cross bobby pins to anchor the twist in place. Repeat on the smaller side.
Step 3
Divide the hanging hair in back into 1-inch sections and wrap around a curling iron. Hold the barrel vertically to create a spiral.
Step 4
Once all sections are curled, mist with hairspray and shake your hair gently to loosen the curls.
3.Braidy Lady:-
Time it took us:
5 minutes
Works on:
· Medium to long hair
· Wavy, curly or straight
· Freshly blow-dried or unwashed hair
Stuff to have handy:
· 1 small clear hair elastic
· 4 small bobby pins
· Texturizing cream
· Light hold hairspray
How to:
Step 1
Part hair where you usually do. Side or middle will work.
Step 2
Grab a section on each side of the part. (Section should be about as wide as two fingers.)
Step 3
Loosely braid both sections toward the back of your head where they will meet. Apply a dab of texturizing cream or pomade to the bottom of each braid so it doesn't unravel easily.
Step 4
Use a clear elastic to secure both braids together in back.
Step 5
Carefully slide the bobby pins in under the braid, along your scalp. This will keep the loose braids from falling out.
4.Knotty and Nice:-
Time it took us:
5 minutes
Works on:
· Medium to long hair
· Straight or blown-straight hair
· Smooth hair that's been thoroughly brushed out
Stuff to have on hand
· 2 tiny clear hair elastics
· Hairspray
· Shine-enhancing gloss (spray or serum)
How to:
Step 1
Part hair in the middle or slightly off center, but it's important to have a pretty balanced left and right side.
Step 2
Part hair all the way down to the nape of your neck as if you're making pigtails.
Step 3
Spritz shine spray or run shine serum over the left side of your hair, then secure one elastic about 1-2 inches from the bottom of that section. Repeat on the right side.
Step 4
Take both sections and twist them inward (toward each other) and back.
Step 5
Wrap them around each other until the ponies look like rope. Then tuck the bottom under and secure with several large bobby pins.
Step 6
Spray on a bit of hairspray to smooth down any flyaways.
5.Swept Away:-
Time it took us:
10 minutes
Works on:
· Any hair length
· Wavy or straight hair that is loosely curled
· Unwashed hair
Stuff to have handy:
· Hairspray
· Bobby pins
· Shine spray
How to:
Step 1
Flip hair upside down. Mist hairspray all over the bottom while scrunching strands, and flip head back up. Spray the top while scrunching.
Step 2
Tease the under layer of hair where the up 'do will be secured (middle, back area of your scalp). This will help build volume to which you can secure the 'do.
Step 3
Start slightly twisting and pulling 3-inch sections of hair toward the area you teased. Save your bang section for last, so start just behind that area and work your way down. Balance is important when doing this; whenever you pull a section from one side, take a similar section from the other side. This will prevent your look from being lopsided.
Step 4
Bobby-pin each section to the teased area (see inset photo) criss-cross the pins to really anchor hair in place. After each section is placed and pinned, lightly mist hairspray on that section and smooth it out with your fingers.
Step 5
Complete this romantic up 'do by pinning back your bang hair. This way, you can control how much volume, if any, you want in front.
Step 6
Spritz shine spray all over and do one final mist of hairspray.
6.Vintage Vamp:-
Time it took us:
10 minutes
Works on:
· Medium to long hair
· Unwashed hair
Stuff to have handy:
· Bobby pins (large and small)
· Hair elastic
· Hairspray
· Shine spray
· Large-barrel curling iron
· Fine-tooth comb
How to:
Step 1
Using a large-barrel iron, curl the bang section of your hair forward.
Step 2
Clip the section into place. We'll revisit it later.
Step 3
Pull the rest of the hair into a tight, low, side ponytail. Make sure that it's bump-free.
Step 4
Using the curling iron, curl the whole side ponytail in an upward angle.
Step 5
Once the ponytail is curled up, spray it well with hairspray, then roll it up toward your scalp and secure it with bobby pins. You'll need lots of bobby pins, large and small, to be sure that the roll stays in place.
Step 6
Once the roll is secured, take the clip out of the front bang area, allowing the big curl to fall.
Step 7
Using a fine-tooth comb, smooth the front section over to the side the roll is on. After combing it a couple of times, it will turn into a nice retro wave. Once that happens, spray with hairspray, then bobby-pin the ends to the roll.
Step 8
Finally, spray all over with hairspray and give it a minute to dry.
