Whether you’re rushing out the door for work or just looking to switch up your everyday look, having a few quick and easy hairstyles in your repertoire is a game changer. From effortless waves to elegant updos, we’ve rounded up five simple styles that work for a variety of hair types and lengths. Plus, we’re answering your most-asked questions along the way!

1. Lived-In, Piecey Waves

Best for: Medium to long hair, straight or wavy textures
Perfect for: Easy long hairstyles for work, effortless everyday style

Want that “I woke up like this” texture? Try this lived-in, piecey style by Paige.

How to Achieve It:

1. On towel-dried hair, lift sections and spray Volumizing Tonic at the roots for lift.
2. Scrunch a clementine-sized amount of Invati Foam throughout for added texture.
3. Let your hair air-dry or use a diffuser, lifting at the roots for volume.
4. Once dry, work a small amount of Grooming Clay into the ends for extra piece-y definition.

Pro Tip: For bangs, comb down and swipe the ends for a curtain effect, or scrunch and clip for a more natural placement.

2. Chic Half-Up Wrap Ponytail

Best for: Thick or layered hair, medium to long lengths
Perfect for: Quick, cute work hairstyles, keeping hair up without a headache

Lucky’s half-up style is a polished yet effortless way to keep your hair out of your face while maintaining volume.

How to Achieve It:

1. Blow-dry bangs (if applicable) using a round brush.
2. Section off two small front pieces and leave them out.
3. Gather the remaining hair into a mid-height ponytail and secure with a small elastic.
4. Take one front section, comb back, spray with hairspray, and wrap around the ponytail, securing with bobby pins.
5. Repeat on the other side and smooth flyaways with the back of a comb.

Pro Tip: If you have thick hair, take more from the front to wrap around the ponytail. For fine hair, take less so the ponytail remains full.

3. Tousled Braid Updo

Best for: All hair types, especially medium to long lengths
Perfect for: Elegant yet messy bun styles, special occasions, quick & easy updos

If you love a braided bun look, Jallison’s tousled braid updo is for you. This style gives effortless volume and works for both casual and formal settings.

How to Achieve It:

1. Refresh your fringe with Heat Relief if needed.
2. Section off your bangs or face-framing pieces.
3. Secure the rest of your hair into a ponytail.
4. Divide the ponytail into three sections. Loop two sections together to create a knot, then secure with an elastic.
5. Gently pull apart the knot and pin it into place for a relaxed look.
6. Braid any remaining pieces and pin them for a soft, romantic finish.

Pro Tip: Don’t be afraid to embrace the messiness! A little texture makes this style even more effortless and chic.

Curly Half-Up Ponytail

Best for: Naturally curly or wavy hair
Perfect for: Easy work hairstyles for curly hair, quick everyday styles

Curly hair can sometimes be tricky to style, but this half-up look by Jallison is a quick and easy way to manage curls while maintaining volume.

How to Achieve It:

1. Start by defining curls with Be Curly Perfecting Primer, Be Curly Enhancer Cream, and Nutriplenish Styling Treatment Foam.
2. Diffuse your hair upside down for maximum volume.
3. Section the hair just above the ears and secure it into a ponytail, leaving out any fringe or face-framing pieces.
4. Lift the ponytail and pin it an inch above the elastic to create a “shelf,” giving it a fuller, lifted appearance.

Pro Tip: This is a great alternative to a ponytail for layered cuts, as it keeps volume at the crown without flattening curls.

5. Easy Voluminous Blowout

Best for: Medium to long hair, straight or wavy textures
Perfect for: Professional yet effortless work hairstyles, smooth and bouncy hair

Marcy’s at-home blowout technique brings salon-worthy volume without the need for professional tools.

How to Achieve It:

1. Apply Confixor and Smoothing Fluid to damp hair for a sleek finish.
2. Divide hair into three sections: top, middle, and nape. Clip away sections not in use.
3. Using a round brush, roll sections away from the face while drying with a hair dryer + nozzle attachment.
4. Once dry, roll the hair backward as if using a hair roller and pin it in place.
5. Work your way around the head, ensuring each section gets a smooth and voluminous finish.
6. Once all sections are dry, remove pins, shake out hair, and mist with Air Control Hairspray for hold.

Pro Tip: Want extra bounce? Use hair rollers for added volume that lasts all day.

These five easy hairstyles prove that a great look doesn’t have to take hours. Whether you’re looking for a simple messy bun, a chic French braid alternative, or a voluminous blowout, these looks are quick, effective, and perfect for work or play.
