Effortless, Not Sloppy: 3 Easy Hairstyles for Busy Mornings

1. The Modern Low Ponytail

Forget the tight, high ponytail of your school days. The modern low pony is sleek, sophisticated, and takes 60 seconds.

How to: Run a brush through your hair to detangle. Lightly mist Beaver Flexible Hold Hairspray throughout your roots and lengths—this gives fine hair a bit of grip and tames flyaways without stiffness. Gather your hair at the nape of your neck, but leave a few face-framing pieces loose. Secure with a hair tie. For the final touch, take a small section of hair from underneath the ponytail and wrap it around the elastic to conceal it, securing it with a bobby pin.

Pro Tip: Gently pull on a few sections of the ponytail to add a little volume and make it look effortlessly full.

2. The Half-Up, Half-Down Twist

This style is perfect for adding a touch of romance and keeping hair out of your face while still showing off your length.

How to: Take two small sections of hair from your crown, one from each side. Twist them loosely backwards and secure them together at the back of your head with a bobby pin or a small clip. Gently pull on the twists to loosen them and create a softer, more voluminous look.

Pro Tip: Before twisting, rub a small amount of Beaver Shine & Define Serum on your fingertips. This will smooth down any baby hairs and add a gorgeous, healthy shine to the twisted sections, making the style look intentional and polished.

3. The Messy (But Chic) Bun

The key to this style is making it look artfully messy, not like you just rolled out of bed.

How to: Flip your head over and gather your hair into a high ponytail. Twist the ponytail and wrap it around the base to form a bun, securing it with another elastic or bobby pins. Don’t worry about making it perfect! The goal is looseness. Gently pull out a few face-framing pieces and some shorter layers around your neck.

Pro Tip: For texture and hold that doesn't feel crispy, spritz the Beaver Flexible Hold Hairspray onto your bun from a distance. This will lock in the style while maintaining a soft, touchable finish.
