Oh, we so get it—some mornings, you look at your hair and just go, Yeah… nope, not today. Whether you’ve hit snooze one too many times, have a million things on your to-do list, or just can’t be bothered, spending forever on your hair is not an option. But guess what? You don’t need a full-blown styling session to look effortlessly put together!

With the right five-minute hairstyles, you can go from ugh to ahh, much better in no time. Think sleek ponytails that give instant boss energy, messy buns that somehow make you look even cooler, or loose waves that scream effortlessly chic. And if you’re feeling just a tiny bit extra, a quick braid or half-up style can take your look from meh to wow with barely any effort.

So, if you’re always on the go (or just love a good lazy-girl hack), these styles are about to be your new best friend. Because, let’s be real—life is too busy for bad hair days!

1. Claw Clip Updo

A claw clip is a lifesaver on busy mornings. Gather all your hair to the back, twist it upward, and secure it with a claw clip.

Let some strands fall loosely for an effortless, chic look.

2. Bubble Ponytail

It is quite an easy, fun, and stylish look. Begin by styling your hair in either a high or low ponytail.

Secure additional hair ties at intervals of inches down the ponytail and pull down slightly to form a “bubble” effect.

3. Quick Fishtail Braid

Fishtail braids look extremely elaborate but are just that easy to do.

A simple trick is to take a couple of strands from a section and cross one strand over the next. Repeat this ad infinitum until the end. Gather everything into a ponytail and pull it loose for maximum fullness.

5. Low Ponytail with a Twist

Twirl a classic ponytail. For a more elaborate look, take your hair and pull it back into a low ponytail using a hair band.

Using a small portion of your ponytail, twist it around the band and tuck it under for an elegant detail.

6. Half-Up, Half-Down

It is a quick yet stylish fashion. Take your top half and clip it together with a hair tie or bobby pin.

Leave it silky, tease for volume, or add soft curls for a nice finish.

7. Braided Headband

When one loves braids but does not have the time to create an entire braided look, a braided headband can be useful.

Take a small section of hair next to the ear and braid it. It can then be pinned across the head as a headband.

8. Sleek high ponytail

A high ponytail is an instant lifter of the look and can be achieved easily.

Brush back your hair into a high ponytail, tie it tight, and use a small section of hair to wrap around the base for a polished finish.

9. Messy Bun

It is the easiest yet final option for a rush-bust morning. Style your hair in a high or low ponytail, twist it upwards to make it a bun, and end it by tying it at the base with a hair tie and some bobby pins.

Then pull out a few strands and frame your face for a softer, more casual look.

For an easy, voluminous look, twist sections of hair and run the flat iron over them.
