Quick fix but salon-perfect hair

Perfect ponytail

Whether it’s a day in the office or a last minute lunch, this low maintenance, fuss free style is perfect to gain control of your loose locks. A firm favourite of the likes of Selena Gomez and Beyoncé, this simple style will compliment whichever look you go for. It’s great for the office, a day of shopping or hitting the dance floor! 

For a casual day look, tease slightly after tying to give more volume and use a curling iron to create beachy waves. To keep it sleek, run straighteners through your hair to give a smooth, salon-perfect finish. Quick tip: knot your ponytail when tying to create a cool and quirky alternative.

Smooth over with a scarf

If you hair needs some serious taming, adding a scarf accessory not only keeps your hair in place, it adds a little character to give you a classic 60s vibe, as seen on some of the world’s biggest style icons including Kim Kardashian-West and Jennifer Lopez. Simply tie around your head and tuck in any loose ends – you can style this more as a headband or can cover the whole head to treat a case of severe fizziness! 

Go for a bright colour to stand out from the crowd. This look is perfect when time isn’t in your favour; no need to wash your hair beforehand as that extra wear will help to keep it all in place. Secure it with a few Kirby grips to make sure you stay salon-perfect all day long.

Carefree braid

No need to battle with the straighteners to tame your mane. For curly or straight hair, this style can control any do and take seconds to finish. Braid along your hairline to keep stray hairs in their place or braid your hair then wrap into a bun to add more detail and manage the mess. Follow A-list celeb Blake Lively by adding a loose braid to your hair whether up or down.

Half up half down

This cute little trick adds a little something to your hairstyle besides keeping those loose locks out of your face. Simply twist back and secure with bobby pins. If you have a few extra minutes then use a curling tong to add some soft waves. Perfect to match your little festive dress or dress up your workday wear it is simple, subtle yet perfectly doable.

Messy bun

This is great for when you don’t have time to wash your hair and want to look effortless but chic. The more volume you have for this hairstyle the better it will look, but you can purchase a synthetic hair ‘doughnut’ at the drugstore for added volume. Flip your hair upside down, gather all of it and tie it up at the top of your head. If you have any flyaway hair or loose strands, it’ll add to the look so there’s no need to smooth these over. Since this style is so versatile it can work for a night out or a casual day shopping, but I do feel that this looks absolutely stunning when paired with some statement earrings as many actresses do.
