Sometimes, as much as we’d like to be up and ready to take on the day ahead, we aren’t always. Whether you snoozed your alarm too many times to count, or you had a late night, you can find yourself with less time than you’d like to get ready in the morning. And when you’re running late, you need a go-to ‘do that will transform your look in five minutes or less!

So, if you find yourself running late a lot, hate to spend hours getting ready in the morning, or you’d rather have them tucked away in your mind just in case, these go-to hair styles can give you the locks you love in no time at all.

Bedhead Hair

You’ve woke with a bad case of bedhead – so why not go with it? Bedhead has been on the catwalks for the past few years, but it does take a little bit of time to perfect. If you wake with strands all over the place and a bit of frizz here and there, try to tame it as best as you can.

The Paul Mitchell Super Sculpt Styling Glaze adds volume and body, so you can add a level of control to your undone ‘do, and head right out the door.

Messy Bun

Could we be any more grateful for the creation of the messy bun? Not only is it a perfect style for for the gym, it’s also an ultra sleek choice for work and play.

Simply scrape up those unruly strands, fix and spray in place, and you’re good to go.

Beach Waves

If your hair is naturally a little wild, beach waves should always be your go-to.

When you wake with waves, curls, or something in between, simply spray in a little Redken Beach Envy Volume Wave Aid and tease the hair until it holds in place.

Braids

Braids are not only super cute and cool to wear, but they’re even quicker to style. You might want to work on a bit of prep in your own time, just to get the style down, but when you’ve got the hang of it, braids can be a life saver when you’re running late.

Whether you opt for a funky french braid, or an elegant fishtail, your hair will hide any sign that you rushed to get ready.

High Pony

And then there’s always the failsafe go-to that we all know and love – the high pony. You might choose to go casual and leave a little mess, or sleek back your hair for something a little more Madonna.

If your hair is not quite long enough, you can even fake it with a Pony Maker and be good to go in minutes.
