I’m not going to lie; I am the queen of last minute hairstyles. Even when I’m not in a hurry, I don’t love to devote a lot of time to my hair. Because of that, I’m always on the hunt for hair hacks that make my hair look as if I spent hours working on it, when in fact; I only spent 5 minutes on it. I’ve come up with a few favorites that I always stand by, so if you’re looking for the best hair hacks on the Internet, this list has definitely got you covered!
1 2-Minute Curls
This hack completely changed the way I curled my hair forever. Throw your hair into a ponytail on the top of your head and separate the hair into four sections (or more or less depending on how much hair you have) and then curl each section of your hair with your curling iron. When you take your hair out of the ponytail, your whole head will be curled with voluminous curls.
Frequently asked questions
2 Add a Rubber Band
A ponytail can be a great hairstyle, but it can just as easily fall flat. If you think your ponytail needs a little bit of something else added to it, add another rubber band behind the first one. It will make your ponytail look like it was done professionally, which may seem insane, but believe me, you will see the difference!
3 Apply Dry Shampoo at Night
Dry shampoo has saved zillions of lives of people who are running late in the morning. However, if you’re like me, sometimes dry shampoo just doesn’t work in the morning. If you’ve noticed that as well, try dry shampoo at night. It combats the grease before it happens and then if you need touch-ups in the morning, you can easily spray a little extra in the morning!
4 Braid Bun
Buns are a fun hairstyle but they can easily get a little boring. If you’re bored with your bun, add a braid to it. Keep a section of your hair out of the bun, braid it, and then wrap it around the base of the bun. It will look like you’ve just spent a lot of time on a style that took two seconds!
5 Simple up-do
If you love up-dos but find it hard to do your hair, I can make it so much easier for you. Simply take both sides of your hair and twist them back. Then, keep twisting your hair until both sections are almost in a french braid style. Take those sections and wrap them into a twisted bun. Pin it to your head and you’ll have a gorgeous up-do that will turn heads!
6 Sleep in a Bun
If you have a little bit of extra time, sleep with a bun in your hair. When you wake up, you’ll take it out and be left with the most gorgeous, relaxed waves. It’ll look like you just got a fresh blowout!
7 Use a Spin Pin
Spin pins have saved my life more times than I can count. It takes the place of a ton of bobby pins, and makes styling your hair a breeze. You can throw your hair up into any style and then secure it with just one spin pin! It will fix every hair issue that you may have!
