Gorgeous 5 Minute Hair-Dos for Girls Who Use Dry Shampoo ...

Dry shampoo is an absolute lifesaver in our fast-paced world, isn't it? You might find it hard to believe, but I think it's safe to say that in 2024, we’re all secretly members of the “I Sometimes Forget to Wash My Hair” club. Let’s be real, who hasn’t hit that snooze button one too many times and then desperately reached for the magical bottle of dry shampoo, hoping it’ll save the day one more time? Trust me, I’ve been in that messy bun, unwashed hair situation more times than I care to admit.

Speaking of which, that brings us to the beautiful art of creating gorgeous hair-dos in just five minutes. You see, busy mornings don’t always allow for a luxurious hair routine, especially when you're racing against the clock. In my university days, I was the queen of quick, stylish looks that needed little more than a bit of dry shampoo and a hair tie. So, I've gathered a few pro tips—I’ve had practice, trust me.

First off, the trusty dry shampoo not only saves time but also adds volume and texture to the hair. No oil? No problem! Sprinkle, shake, and poof, you’re halfway to a fabulous hairstyle. A good headstart is the half-up, half-down look, which you can master in no time. Just spray some dry shampoo for extra volume, section off the top part of your hair, and secure it with a cute clip. Need more inspiration? How about trying the elegant low bun? Check out how to make that one look chic in a jiffy here.

Moving on, another ally in the war against bad (or lazy) hair days is the good old ponytail. Trust me when I say, a high or low ponytail doesn’t just scream simplicity—it practically sings it! Add a bit of a twist, literally, by wrapping a section of hair around the base of the ponytail to hide the hair tie. Want to get a bit fancier?

On a side note, don’t get me started on how life-changing it is to know a couple of quick bobby pin tricks. Whether it’s for securing a loose strand or adding a decorative touch, these little guys are hairdo heroes. Remember, the focus is looking effortlessly put together, even if you rolled out of bed 10 minutes ago.

Finally, do keep in mind another essential: accessorize. Toss in a headband or a scarf, and voila, you’ve got a look that says you’ve got it all together—even if you haven’t had your morning coffee yet. Discover other chic accessories to amp up your hair game here.

So, fellow dry shampoo enthusiast, 2024 is your year to rock that last-minute hairdo like a pro. Be prepared, be stylish, and most importantly, make it look like you spent way more than—oh, let’s say—5 minutes on it!

What about short haired styles for these days ?

I have so much trouble doing my own French braids

I love number 5!

I have long hair-short haired girls-you hav the benefit of ease-spray dry shampoo-tousle for body (if u want) finger to ur best look-spray. Gel if needed in hairline to keep pesky stray hairs controlled.

Number 5 is probably the easiest. Just brush twist pin& go! She has pretty hair too, that makes a big difference too!

These are wonderful!
