Top 7 Hairstyles You Can Do in Under 10 Minutes ⏰💁♀️
Hey there, TrendyGlow family! 👋 We all have those mornings, don’t we? The alarm goes off, you hit snooze one (or five!) too many times, and suddenly you’re in a mad dash to get ready. Your outfit is sorted, your makeup is on point, but your hair? It’s a whole other story. 🤯 But being short on time doesn’t mean you have to settle for a messy bun (unless that’s the look you’re going for! 😉). There are a ton of chic, polished, and surprisingly easy hairstyles you can master in under 10 minutes. The key is to have a few go-to styles in your arsenal. Ready to conquer your busy mornings and look fabulous while doing it? Let’s dive into these seven time-saving hairstyles that are perfect for any hair length or type! ✨ 1. The Low Twisted Bun 🥨 This hairstyle looks complicated, but it’s deceivingly simple and perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your everyday look. It’s a sleek alternative to the classic messy bun and works great for both second-day hair and clean hair. How to do it: Pull your hair into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck and secure it with an elastic. Create a gap above the elastic and flip your ponytail up and through the hole. Repeat the flip-through step one more time. Gently roll the twisted ponytail upwards into a bun and secure it with bobby pins. Pull out a few face-framing pieces to soften the look. 2. The Sleek High Ponytail 🐴 A high ponytail is a timeless classic that instantly lifts your face and gives you a polished, powerful look. It’s perfect for a day at the office, a workout, or a night out. How to do it: Flip your head upside down and gather all your hair at the crown. Use a brush to smooth out any bumps, then secure with a strong hair tie. Take a small section of hair from the underside of the ponytail and wrap it around the elastic to conceal it. Secure with a bobby pin. For extra shine, apply a small amount of hair serum to the ponytail. 3. The Half-Up Top Knot 🍡 Can’t decide between an updo and letting your hair down? This style gives you the best of both worlds! It’s effortlessly cool and perfect for a casual day or to show off your length while keeping hair out of your face. How to do it: Section off the top half of your hair (from your temples up). Secure this section into a high ponytail. Twist the ponytail into a small bun and secure with an elastic or a few bobby pins. Gently tug on the bun to loosen it slightly for a messier, more “undone” look. 4. The Bubble Ponytail 🎈 This playful and trendy style is so much easier than it looks! It adds a fun, whimsical flair to a simple ponytail and works on almost any hair length. How to do it: Create a regular high, mid, or low ponytail and secure it with an elastic. Add another elastic a few inches down the ponytail, creating a “bubble.” Gently tug on the sides of the bubble to puff it out and add volume. Continue adding elastics and creating bubbles every few inches down the length of your hair. If you want to hide the elastics, you can wrap a small strand of hair around each one and secure it with a bobby pin. 5. The Messy Bun with a Twist 🌀 The messy bun is a lifesaver, but this variation adds a chic twist that elevates it from “just rolled out of bed” to “effortlessly stylish.” How to do it: Pull your hair into a high ponytail but don’t secure it all the way on the last loop, creating a small knot. Take the loose end of the ponytail and twist it around the base of the bun. Tuck the ends into the elastic or secure with a bobby pin. Gently pull on different sections of the bun to create a fuller, messier shape. Pull out a few strands around your face. 6. The Side Braid with a Twist 🎀 A simple side braid can look a bit flat, but adding a twist at the base makes it look intentional and polished. How to do it: Part your hair on the side and gather all your hair on the opposite side, over your shoulder. Take a small section of hair from your hairline on the side with less hair and twist it back, adding in small pieces as you go. Once the twist reaches the back of your head, secure it with a bobby pin. Now, braid the rest of your hair into a classic three-strand braid. Secure the end with a clear elastic and gently pull on the sides of the braid to loosen it and make it look thicker. 7. The Claw Clip Updo 🌸 Claw clips are back in a big way, and for good reason—they make a chic updo incredibly easy and fast! How to do it: Gather all your hair as if you’re making a ponytail. Twist the hair upwards, coiling it tightly against your head. Once twisted, fold the coiled hair back down on itself, creating a small bun-like shape. Secure the style with a large claw clip at the base of your neck. Let the ends of your hair spill out of the top of the clip for a relaxed, chic vibe. There you have it, gorgeous! Seven amazing hairstyles that will save you time and make you look put-together, even on the most chaotic of mornings. Remember to keep a few key tools on hand—hair ties, bobby pins, and a good brush—and you’ll be a pro in no time. 💖 Which of these hairstyles is your new go-to for a quick fix?
