How to Style Hair in Ten Minutes

Having stylish hair can tack on 30 minutes to an hour to your routine every morning, but it doesn't have to be that way. There are easy ways to style your hair in ten minutes or less and keep you looking fabulous.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Pull your hair back in a ponytail. This is an easy, timeless style that can look really great. Brush your hair, tease a small portion of hair at the crown of your head, cover it with sleek unteased hair and pull it back. Once you have mastered this style, you can accomplish it in less than ten minutes on your busiest mornings.

2. Use creative hair accessories to pull straight or curly hair back off of your face. Add style to an easy hairdo with rhinestone or jeweled barrettes or pins. Brush your hair, pull a one-inch chunk of hair off of one side of your face, pin it back with a cute barrette and go.

3. Create a simple up-do with medium to long hair. Brush dry hair, pull it together at the base of your neck, twist the hair and pull it up toward the crown of your head. Continue twisting the hair, and tuck it into a French twist on the opposite side of the original twist. Use plain or jeweled bobby pins to pin the tucked hair into place.

4. Sleep with curlers in your hair. This is especially helpful for those with naturally straight or wavy hair. Wash your hair, pin curlers into your hair and let it dry naturally. When you wake up, spray hairspray on the curled locks, undo the curls and spray the curls again. Don't brush the curls out, but you can run your fingers through them if they need to be loosed. In less than ten minutes, this style is ready to go.

5. Make a stylish looking bun. Take two even sections of hair and separate them as though you were going to make pig tails. Twist these two sections together until it looks like a rope of hair. Tuck the bottom section under, and secure with bobby pins. This style is easy, elegant and will take you less than ten minutes on a rushed day.

6. Straighten your hair in less than ten minutes. This should be done with dry hair, and you should always begin with hair products that will protect from heat damage. Quickly take sections of your hair and use a flat iron to straighten each section. Add some shine serum or a little hair spray to avoid static.
