hasty morning hairstyles

Wednesday, August 6, 2014
We've all done it. The alarm goes off on Monday (or Tuesday, or Wednesday...) morning and you press the snooze button one too many times. Next thing you know you've got about 20 minutes to put yourself together and run out the door if you want to get to work on time.

This is me probably once a week. I have mastered the 5-minute makeup routine but hair is one thing that is harder for me to do. On a normal day, it usually takes me a few minutes to decide up or down, curly or straight. But when I'm running late, ain't nobody got time for deliberating on how to fix their hair!

I figured I'm probably not the only one who likes the idea of an arsenal of go-to, I'm-running-super-late hair styles and thought I'd share a few I found on Pinterest that are sure to help you get ready for work in a snap:

one / two / three / four

one: The knotted ponytail via small things blog. She has an easy video tutorial to use as a guide! Check out all her other easy hair tutorials, too. love love love.

two: The two-minute low braided bun. I've done this style so many times. Always quick, always chic.

three: One of my favorite lazy-girl hair styles! Straighten only the bottom 2-3 inches of hair to add polish to your natural texture. Add a few waves with a curling wand on the top layer if needed.

four: Tease the roots around your crown for volume, set with a light mist of hair spray, and gather at the nape of your neck in a tight knot. Bring a few wisps of hair to the front (curl with a wand if desired) to soften the look.

the long bob

I've recently developed a borderline obsession with the long bob (aka "lob"). My Pinterest feed has been taken over by pictures of this adorable, modern cut, and I've finally decided to take the plunge and get one myself. Since this week is my birthday week and 4th of July weekend, I decided what better way to ring in a new year and holiday weekend than a fresh new 'do?

I made an appointment to get my hair cut with my favorite stylist at Zeeba Salon in Fort Worth and she did a phenomenal job as usual. I love how light and healthy my hair feels and am so happy with my decision. I went just a few inches below the collarbone and may see how I warm up to it before considering a shorter chop. For now, I'm in love with my new look and ready to see what 26 has in store! xo.
