It’s 7:45 am and you have an important choice to make. Style your hair or have time to stop for an iced latte. Here is to hoping that with a few quick tips you never have to skimp on gorgeous hair or caffeine.
You Fell Asleep On Freshly Washed Hair
Take a spray bottle and mist your hair (especially your scalp or areas with interesting creases). Be careful not to soak it. Take your favorite sea spray and mist a fine layer all over your hair and lastly on your hands. Flip your head upside down and lightly massage your scalp, then scrunch your ends. Twist back one side of your hair and pin with a fun hair clip or two bobby pins in an ‘X’ shape. Toss your sea spray in your bag and spray as needed throughout the day to enhance texture.

You Can’t Remember The Last Time You Washed Your Hair
This sounds like the perfect opportunity for a sleek high-fashion look.
For Long Hair - Use a boar bristle brush to pull hair into a high pony, for your best angle look in the mirror, and use your chin as a reference picturing a diagonal line going across your cheekbones up to the top back of your head. Don't worry about tangled ends- they’ll come in handy. Secure hair with a hair elastic and divide the ponytail into two even pieces. Twist and wrap one around the hair elastic and pin, repeat with the other section. Use gel or pomade to smooth the scalp area and create a high shine, as for your ends? Either enhance texture with a texture spray or shine mist for a perfect finish.

For Shorter Hair - Mist hair with a spray bottle and use a fine-tooth comb to create your part. Then, apply a small amount of gel or pomade as needed. If hair is above the shoulders, secure strands behind each ear with a few bobby pins in a contrasting color for a fun detail. If the hair is below the shoulders secure in a low pony, twist hair and bobby pin as flat as possible.

You HAD To Wash Your Hair But You Don’t Have Time to Style
Take a towel and wring out your hair as much as possible, while upside down, apply your favorite frizz-taming product and anything that speeds up dry time. Whether you have bangs or not, clip away the rest of your hair and focus on your front pieces, blow dry them, and then clip (or pop in a velcro roller) to save their shape. Flip your hair over and diffuse/dry your roots for five minutes. Part the hair down the middle from your bangs to the nape and create two loose braids, pulling out a few front pieces for a soft ethereal finish. Throw your favorite anti-frizz serum and a wide-tooth comb in your bag and once you get where you’re going quickly comb out your braids and add a touch of anti-frizz serum to complete the look and add shine.
