1. Take the arm workout out of styling your hair with a Kiss Instawave automatic curling iron that rotates to create curls or waves in seconds. All you need to do is press the button and watch the magic happen.
2. Create a gorge updo in two simple motions: twist + pin. Hello hair that's the perfect combo of old-timey elegance and modern effortlessness.
And pro tip: You may have been putting your bobby pins in wrong your whole life. The wavy side is supposed to go *down*!.
3. Add some polished flair to your standard pony, braid, or bun with a set of hair elastics complete with bows already tied on.
4. Fight frizz on the go with specialized Ouai hair sheets. Each one is individually wrapped for portabolity, and the coconut and shea oil–infused formula helps fight dryness, static, and flyaways, while imparting major shine.
5. Twist your braids into a pretty crown ponytail that looks impressive but is actually easy! Just roll or twist for a lovely and face-framing 'do in just two quick steps.
6. For the look above or any style with heavy or thick hair, tie it all together with Burlybands, the ultimate hair tie specially designed for lots of hair — it won't stretch out or tug uncomfortably on your scalp. 🙌
7. Learn the easiest way to tease your hair to amp up your strands in no time ~flat~. Just section out small sections, backcomb with a teasing brush (check out our recommended pick below), and then smooth out for big-but-polished hair.
8. And use a top-rated teasing comb with a mix of boar and nylon multi-level bristles to create mega height with only a few brushstrokes.
9. Blow your hair out without having to hold a dryer AND a round brush by opting for the John Frieda hot air brush instead.
10. Look like you actually tried this morning by using a sleek metallic leather hair tie on your boring old pony.
11. Try a half-up hairstyle with a twist that's *knot* difficult at all.
12. Skip the heat styling and create beachy waves with a simple sleep-on-it hairdo. Let your hair air dry partially so it's damp, twist into two pigtails and pin on top of your head so you can sleep comfortably. You're gonna wake up to a very good hair day.
13. Pop on a twisted headband that *looks* like a scarf — perfect for anyone who is not exactly great at tying — or is tired of silky scarves slipping out contstantly.
14. Add texture and body to your air drying routine with Bumble & Bumble's Don't Blow It styling cream that boosts texture and volume for a perfectly undone look.
15. Bump up the volume and make it last all day with Living Proof's Dry Volume Blast, which is tbh the best volumizing product on the market. It smells great, lasts and lasts, and leaves hair feeling touchably soft, NOT stiff or crunchy.
16. Dry your gorgeous hair in a uniquely-shaped diffuser attachment which scoops your curls into their natural pattern and dries them in place, reducing frizz and increasing definition AND shine.
17. Add major body and reduce frizz with an Elizavecca collagen-infused ~protein treatment~ for an intense at-home mask that'll help your strands look and feel less damaged in just five minutes. It's basically a time machine for your hair is what I'm saying.
18. Keep your hair out of your face without creating dents or bumps with a set of cute crease-free clips. We're all about maintaining that hairstyle for days!
19. Make your braids thiccccer by spritzing hair with a highly-rated texturizing powder — and use a Dutch braiding technique (literally a regular braid but upside down).
See what a difference pulling out the sides of your braid makes? Hair for days!
20. Turn your tapered cut into this deceptively easy updo with just six bobby pins (six!!).
21. Twist your locks around flexible foam rods for overnight curls with zero heat damage. Use the largest size for loose, blowout-worthy waves and the smallest size for the tightest curls.
22. Accept help in the form of a borderline miraculous bun-maker so you can shape an effortless bun — and keep it locked down all day.
23. Or add a little polish to your (extremely) messy bun by just popping on a quartz-embellished ~bun cuff~.
24. Take a hairstyling beach vacation with Captain Blankenship's sea salt spray that'll give you effortless mermaid waves.
Pro tip: Spritz the sea salt spray and immediately blow dry — it'll melt the product into your strands without leaving it crunchy.
25. Rock a fauxhawk in just a few quick and easy steps — and with jut a few hair ties.
26. Rest your eyes (and your hair) on a pretty silk pillowcase to wake up with less damaged, frizzy locks...making that second day look so much easier.
27. Bump up your regular hairdo (or hide dirty hair or grown-in roots) with a glitzy headband to make you feel fancy without having to actually do anything else.
28. Get that on-trend slicked-back look you've all seen over Instagram and on your fave celebs in no time flat. Because you deserve red carpet–ready hair on a random Tuesday.
29. Use bobby pins as hair art — put your hair in a normal bun or pinned back, and then place the pins in your hair to form chevrons (like pictured on the left), triangles, or whatever shape your heart desires.
Those jumbo bobby pins I keep shouting out? The blonde/gold ones are a great option for styles like these. Check out how one Amazon reviewer is rocking them:
30. Or load up on jumbo-size pearl clips to jazz up even the most boring hair day — or, you know, distract from how dirty your hair is. Statement-making hair accessories are a super big trend rn!
31. Convince people you shelled out big buck$ for pastel hair at the salon, but without the expense or commitment; all you need is L'Oréal Colorista semi-permanent hair color.
32. Try a five-in-one curling iron so you can create infinite looks without hogging up all your drawer space. Just pop on the different sized barrels and you can use it to create a vintagey '50s updo, a tousled just-woke-up lob, or mermaid-inspired waves. The limit (to your style choices) does not exist!
33. Opt for a gym hairstyle that'll stay in place and still look amazing long after — without having to immediately wash it.
34. And smooth flyaways when you've finally perfected the perfect braided look or updo (or after you're all done hustling at the gym) by smoothing on Kristen Ess's recovery balm stick.
35. Using hot rollers to create a mega voluminous look is easier than it sounds. The trick is to place the rollers in your hair in the right order — in a straight line down the middle of your head (like a mohawk), and then finish up the sides.
36. Look like you grew mermaid-worthy hair overnight by simply clipping in a set of synthetic extensions with over 2,000 five-star reviews.
37. Trick everyone at your Game of Thrones viewing party into thinking you're the Mother of Hairstyles with this deceptively easy Daenerys-inspired 'do.
38. Add a head wrap as a finishing touch to your outfit or chic recovery hairstyle — with these easy cheat sheets you can TOTALLY do it.
