Simple Hairstyles in 10 Minutes or Less for Middle School Girls
Middle school is an exciting and challenging time of life for many boys and girls. Girls in particular want to look cute and stylish but many may not want to spend an hour or more in the bathroom in the morning before school primping themselves. There are a few simple hairstyles that look cute and show you care about your appearance without taking more than 10 minutes of your time in the morning. Does this Spark an idea?

Baby Powder Puff
-
If you have greasy or oily hair and don't wash it every day for one reason or another, you can hide the grease with a simple trick, according to the College Fashion website. On the day after you wash your hair, brush your hair, then apply a little baby powder or matte bronzer to a large makeup brush. Use baby powder if you have light-colored hair and matte bronzer if your hair is darker. Lightly dab the makeup brush onto your roots. The powder will absorb the grease and make your hair look fresh and clean. Use a flat iron, if needed. Gently run your hands through your hair, shake your head a few times and leave for school.
Stylish Headband
-
A quick and easy hairstyle is possible with a headband. Select a few that you like in different colors that will complement a variety of outfits. Look for patent leather headbands or styles with fabric patterns or beads or bows added to them. Brush your hair until it's smooth and free of tangles. Pull the headband over your head so that it sits about 3 to 4 inches back off your forehead and head to class.

Easy Braids
-
If you have long, straight hair and don't have time to curl it every day before school, apply a leave-in conditioner to your hair to keep it flat, straight and frizz-free. Use a comb to separate your hair in front of your ears on either side of your head. Clip the hair behind your ears back and out of the way with hair clips. Separate the top of one section of hair near the right side of your forehead and grasp it between your fingers. Separate that section into three parts and braid it together into a French braid. Clip the braid to the base of your head, beneath the unbraided hair on the back of your head. Do a quick French braid on the left side of your head and pin that back as well. If a French braid takes you too long, brush your hair back from your face, separate your hair into three sections and do a quick normal braid.
Casual but Styled
-
Style up dry, slept-on hair with a little hairspray and a curling iron in less than 10 minutes for a cute, stylish look from the Total Beauty website. Bend over so that your medium or long-length hair hangs down. Spray the underside of your hair with light-hold hair spray. Clip off your bangs with a hair clip. Grab 1-inch sections of your hair around your face and curl them with a curling iron. Unclip your bangs and continue curling 1-inch sections of hair near the back of your head. Shake your hair and gently fluff it with your fingers to make the curls look messy. Pin back a section of hair on either side of your part and spray your whole head with shine spray.
