These quick updos are not just speedy, they’re also elegant, cute, and practical for every hair type. From twist buns to messy knots, I’ve tried them all, and now I keep a cheat sheet of updos under 5 minutes right on my mirror.
What surprised me most was how many quick updos under 5 minutes you can actually do with just a hair tie and a couple bobby pins. My friends used to ask how I got out the door so fast with a ‘styled’ look—it’s all these easy 5-minute updos that give the illusion of effort.
If your mornings feel rushed but you still want to feel polished, these updos under 5 minutes are your go-to hair hacks. Every woman should know at least three quick updos that work in five minutes or less—your future self will thank you.
Simple Top Knot
The simple top knot is a quick and stylish choice for busy days. Just gather your hair into a high ponytail, twist it, and wrap it around to form a bun. Secure it with a hair tie or bobby pins, and you’re ready to go!
Braided Ponytail
The braided ponytail is a quick and stylish option for busy days. Just gather your hair into a ponytail, braid it, and secure the end with a hair tie. This look is not only easy to do but also keeps your hair neat and out of your face!
