There's no doubt about it - having an arsenal of simple hairstyles that you can pick and choose from is extremely helpful. Whether you are someone who rarely does much with her hair and now you need a style for a special event, or if you're running late and just don't have time to fuss with it, understanding how to quickly and easily style your hair really comes in handy.
As such, the purpose of this article is to share with you 3 of my all-time favorite easy-to-do hairstyles. These super simple hairstyles will allow you to achieve an elegant look for any occasion with minimal effort. And let's face it, what could possibly be better than that?
The Sassy Bun
Many simple hairstyles often begin with a bun. However, this doesn't mean that your bun has to be boring! The sassy bun updo is easy to create yet it will look like you spent hours at the salon.
All you are going to do is pull your hair up into a ponytail at the crown of your head and secure it in place with an elastic hair band. Now, take two-inch pieces and crisscross them, anchoring them in place with bobby pins. If you want to add more volume, gently tease each section of hair at the base of the ponytail. You can leave a few strands hanging around your face and at the nape of your neck, or you can wear it all up for a very clean look; the choice is yours.
The Classic Hair Bun
Classic buns are always included in the category of "simple" hairstyles because they are easy to do and perfect for any occasion. This is a look that can take you from your morning walk, through work and to an opening at an art gallery later that evening. The classic bun is a simple updo that is considered timeless.
There are tons of different ways you can create a bun, but if you are in a hurry, simply brush your hair smooth with a boar bristle brush. Then gather it at the desired location, twist the hair while also twisting it around its center, and pin it all into place. Add some hair jewelry, sticks or other accessories if desired.
The Barrel Curl
If you are looking for a simple style that can offer a dramatic effect, look no further than the barrel curl. It's clean, chic and you can create the look in five minutes or less if your hair is already straight. If it's not straight, you will need to take a few minutes and smooth it out.
To create this style, secure your hair in a ponytail either at the crown of your head or at the nape of your neck. It is recommended to use a hair scrunchie to add volume. Alternatively, if you have dark hair, you can cut the toes off a black sock, roll it into a thick band, and wrap it around your ponytail. This will help to achieve an extra-full curl. Finish off the look by folding the ponytail in half to create a fan, and then tucking the ends underneath and securing with bobby pins. Add a little shine spray to really turn up the charm and help control the fly-away pieces.
Conclusion
If you're anything like me, you absolutely NEED a few quick and easy hairstyles you can turn to whenever necessary. And now you have a few fabulous options.
