Are most of your mornings always hectic? If your answer is yes, welcome to the club. Now, whether it is because you overslept or you simply have tons of things to tick off from the to-do list, a busy morning can leave you frazzled without any time to dedicate to your skin or hair care routine. So, what sorcery must a busy girl do to groom her hair well and look like she just stepped out of a hair salon? Let us tell you.
Here are a few quick and easy everyday hair grooming tips that make a busy girl’s life easy and her hair look stunning!
- Add volume with dry shampoo
- Beach curl hack
- Calm frizz with argan oil
- Make your thin ponytail look fuller
- Scarf to jazz up your hairdo
Add volume with dry shampoo
Instead of falling into the conundrum of ‘to wash or not to wash (hair)’ on busy days, just grab your dry shampoo and spritz on your hair roots and massage it in well. Remember to do this while massaging your fingers through your hair in an upwards and outwards motion. The dry shampoo will absorb the grease and add texture to your limp hair.
Beach curl hack
Don’t have time for a proper hairstyle? Then try the dreamy beach curl hack. We’re obsessed with this quick hairstyle trick that can elevate straight hair into a wavy, textured look. You just need to quickly braid your hair in two sections and press on it with a pre-heated straightener for 8-10 seconds each. Next, unbraid, and you have your beach curls all set. Easy-peasy, isn’t it?
Calm frizz with argan oil
Argan oil is like magic packed in a bottle. Why? It is an excellent ingredient to tame baby hair, flyaways, frizz and unmanageable curls. Plus, it detangles like a dream and adds an instant gloss to hair. So, when elaborate steps of hair masks, hair conditioners and other heat styling ideas look too far-fetched, you know argan oil will groom your hair in a jiffy.
Make your thin ponytail look fuller
When one ponytail doesn’t give you that *amazing* hair satisfaction, then you need to make two ponytails to create an illusion of a fuller-looking mane. Here’s what to do. Divide your hair into two sections, top and bottom. Then, tie the bottom section into a high ponytail and make a second ponytail right on top of it. Ensure that both ponytails are tied close to each other for a seamless illusion. Finally, tease the bottom side of the top ponytail to make it look fluffier, bigger and lifted up.
Scarf to jazz up your hairdo
Having a bad hair day, or don’t have time for complicated hairstyles and accessorising? Fret not. Pull out a satin scarf from your wardrobe and tie it up around your ponytail or hair bun. And if you’re feeling a tad bit chic, wear it as a bandana cap over your head. All your hair woes will disappear, and you’ll look super chic instantly.
