4 Cute Hairstyles To Get You There On Time When You Wake Up Late

Have you ever woken up suddenly on a workday morning in a panic because as soon as you opened your eyes you realized that you had overslept? Most people have. It happens to the best of us from time to time. But waking up late doesn’t have to mean being late or showing up at the office looking like you just rolled out of bed. With a few cute and easy hairstyles in your arsenal, a coat of mascara, and a pretty lip gloss you can be ready to head out the door in a flash looking perfectly styled and professional. 

Messy Bun- This seems to be the classic hairstyle of every student and busy mom on the planet. It’s an easy way to get your hair up in a hurry, but is it appropriate for the office? Yes, it is, but only if it’s done right. The key to keeping this style looking professional is to not leave it too messy and then add a cute accessory to give it a finished and intentional look. A pretty ribbon wrapped around the base, a few dainty flowers tucked amongst the curls, or a lovely gold or pearl comb peaking from behind are what keep a messy bun from looking sloppy.

Pinned Back- This is one of the most simple hairstyles and yet still very polished and professional. All you need are a comb and a couple of pretty barrettes. Comb your hair and part in the middle or on the side. Use the barrettes to pin your hair back on each side to contain any bangs or long layers back away from your face. If you find you’re not running quite as late as you thought, take a moment to twist the section being pinned back for a slightly different look.

Easy Waves- If you frequently find yourself short on time in the mornings you can help ease the morning rush by preparing the night before. At bedtime spritz your dry strands with styling gel. Part your hair in the middle from front to back and secure into two low ponytails. Now twist each ponytail all the way to the tips and then wind them around the base and pin them into place. In the morning they will be dry, set, and ready to take down and fingerstyle into easy, elegant waves.

Need waves in a hurry without the prep work? Dampen your hair slightly, add a bit of mousse, and scrunch. Add a wide black headband and finish with a mist of hairspray to help set the style. Your scrunched waves will dry during your commute and be ready to give your strands beautiful texture all day.

Half Up, Half Down- If you need a quick and easy way to contain a bedhead disaster but don’t want to wear your hair up, a half-up, half-down style is the perfect solution. By securing only the top half of your hair you still get to enjoy having your hair down while containing any unruly strands that refuse to cooperate with you. This style gives you a few more options for versatility. You can secure the top half of your mane in the back or to one side, and you can pull it up into a half ponytail, braid the sections, or twist it into a mini bun. Easy doesn’t have to mean boring.
