3. High Bun
Pull hair high on the head. Twist and wrap into a bun. Secure well. A sleek, polished look. Use strong hair ties and pins.
2. Twisted Ponytail
Put hair in a ponytail. Split the ponytail in two. Twist the two sections together. Secure the end. It adds texture easily. Keep the twists tight as you go.
1. The Ultimate Quick Style: The Slicked-Back Pony
Okay, if I have literally 60 seconds, this is what I do. Brush hair back super smooth. Use a tiny bit of gel or pomade if needed. Gather it into a low, tight ponytail right at the nape. Secure it firmly. It looks instantly polished and like you tried way harder than you did. I did this just yesterday when I overslept and still made my coffee!
Frequently Asked Questions
I get a lot of questions about making these quick styles work. Here are some common ones I hear from busy parents and students alike.
What are the quickest hairstyles for school mornings?
Hands down, the fastest are the simple low ponytail, the messy bun, or just adding a headband. The half-up top knot is also super speedy. Anything that involves minimal sectioning or complex braiding saves tons of time.
How can I make these styles last all day?
Using good quality hair ties that don’t slip helps a lot. For buns and twists, strategic bobby pins are key. A light mist of hairspray can tame flyaways and add hold without making hair stiff. Don’t overdo products though!
Are these styles suitable for all hair types?
Most of these styles work on a variety of hair types and lengths, from wavy to straight. Some styles, like braids or bubbles, might look different on very curly or short hair, but you can always adapt them. Experiment to see what works best for you!
