Quick hairstyles for on the go – how to put yourself in the spotlight despite time pressure

Think a stylish hairstyle and a busy schedule don't go together? Far from it! Even in stressful situations, you shouldn't leave the house without a fashionable look. Most hairstyle trends aren't as difficult to implement as you might think at first glance. After all, even the classic ponytail, bun, or braid can become a real eye-catcher with a few simple tricks. Below, we'll give you 10 tips for creating impressive, quick hairstyles for on the go.

Half Bun – quick, practical, fashionable

The "half bun" is a true trendsetter, already rocked by stars like Margot Robbie and supermodel Heidi Klum. The half bun has real qualities that make it suitable for a hectic everyday life while also ensuring it's effortless to style. It's relatively simple to create and maintains its usual uncoordinated shape even under stress.

Here's how:

• First, part your top hair with a comb at the back of your head
• Now twist your hair at the back of your head like a normal bun
• Now fix the knot with a hair tie or hair clips
• Leave the rest of your hair open

Tip: If you have fine hair, consider pulling out a few strands from the bun to create more volume. A half bun is suitable for all hair lengths from shoulder length onward.

Messy Bun – for the fashion-forward

If you're one of those style icons who no longer wants to shine with meticulously styled looks, the messy bun is your ideal alternative. Significantly bolder than its original model, the chignon, this style is a real eye-catcher for any occasion. Superstars like Rihanna are no strangers to this.

And here's how it works:

• First tie your heart into a regular ponytail
• Twist the ponytail like a snail and secure it with hair clips

This hairstyle is suitable for anyone with medium or long hair.

Braided knot – how to impress with style

If a traditional bun is too boring for you, but you still need a quick, stylish hairstyle, then choose a braided bun. This twist on the classic style has charm and offers plenty of flexibility for a variety of events.

And here's how it works:

• First, tie your hair into a ponytail at the nape of your neck
• Braid the ponytail into a braid
• Now wrap the braided braid around the hair tie as often as possible
• Fix the hairstyle with hairpins

Of course, such a style is only suitable for medium to long hair.

Hair wreath – old-fashioned was yesterday

The hair wreath is the perfect example of how glamorous looks don't require a lot of time. After all, you can use this hairstyle to create a dazzling appearance both at work and at evening events or festivals.

And here's how it works:

• Choose a hairband and put it around your head
• Now wrap each strand individually around the hairband
• At the end, fix the strands with hair clips

Tip: Choose a headband that suits your look and the occasion! This hairstyle is suitable for medium, medium, or long hair.

Twisted braid – classic and original

Do you love braided hairstyles but still want to express your individuality? Then choose the twisted braid. It's perfect not only for business attire, but also for events. And the best part? It's quick and easy to style.

And here's how it works:

• Tie your hair into a regular braid at the back of your head
• Loosen your hair a little
• Now part the hair above the hair tie to form a gap and put the lower, long braid section through the gap
• Now fix the braid by tightening the hair tie again

Note: If you want to change your look again during the day, you can simply tuck the ends of the braids into the gap and secure them with bobby pins, so you can have a simple updo in no time.

The twisted braid is suitable for all long hair.

Spiral – traditional look with charm

You're probably already familiar with the classic twisted hair style, which is ideal for summer. No matter which version you choose, the spiral can be created in a flash and still promises a charismatic look.

And here's how it works:

• First, comb your hair tightly back
• Now tie it into a braid at the back of your head
• Twist the braid and fold it towards the middle so that it can twist further
• Finally, secure the braid with clips

Tip: If you need more hold, add a little styling mousse to your hair before styling! This hairstyle is best for those with medium-length or even long hair.

Ponytail with XXL volume – this is how style is shown

The ponytail is a true all-rounder! This hairstyle instantly creates an everyday look that can be enhanced with various accessories for any occasion. At the same time, you can add more volume to the look with a clever trick.

And here's how it works:

• First separate your top hair and the undercoat
• Now tie both halves independently into a braid
• Make sure that the braid with the undercoat starts directly under the braid of the top coat
• Let the ends fall slightly over each other, then you will create a real illusion as if you had extensions in your hair

A trendy style with minimal effort and a big impact! This hairstyle is suitable for medium, medium, and long hair.

Ponytail with a twist – a sophisticated variation of the classic

If you love the ponytail look for on-the-go, but want to add a little more character to your look, we have a simple trick for you.

And here's how it works:

• Tie your hair into a ponytail as usual
• Now pull out a thicker strand from the braid and wrap it around the hairband
• Fix them under the top hair with hairpins

Tip: You could also add a few small hair clips for more individuality!

Side braided hairstyle – feminine and quick to do

This hairstyle is quick to achieve, but definitely not boring. Whether you're looking for a feminine, playful look for that boho summer charm or a style for a business meeting, side braids are feminine, charming, and yet stylish. It's no coincidence that Hollywood stars like Salma Hayek wear this hairstyle.

And here's how it works:

• First, massage some mousse into your hair
• Now braid a side braid and secure it with a hair tie
• If you like, pull out a few strands to take the strain off the braid
• Choose additional hair clips to give the braid more hold

This hairstyle is suitable for medium and long hair.

Braids half up – fashionable meets uncomplicated

The modern version of braids is also an easy look for on the go. Whether with light summery casual outfits or a casual evening event, half-up braids represent girlish sophistication.

And here's how it works:

• Separate a larger strand of hair on one side of the head and braid it
• Now place the strand around the back of the head to the other half of the head
• Fix the braided braid with hair clips

Note: For even more flamboyance, you can briefly style your loose hair with a curling iron to create soft waves or rebellious curls. This hairstyle works well for long hair.

Quick styling for loose hair

If you prefer to wear your hair down, you can simply add volume powder.

And here's how it works:

• Take a suitable portion of the powder and distribute it in the hairline and lengths
• Now glide your fingers through your hair or shake it once in the fresh air, and you'll have the look
• Pull out individual strands of hair and secure them with a clip

Hairstyles for on the go: How to shorten styling time

To quickly achieve the ultimate look, you can make up for some time with the right preparation. This way, you can get ready quickly, even on the go, without much effort!

Please note the following tips:

• It is best to wash your hair the evening before to save time
• Think carefully about the look you want to wear and get the right accessories and clips ready
• Be prepared: Always keep a hairband, clips or decorative accessories like a headband in your bag so you are prepared for a quick makeover in an emergency
• Use high-quality styling products so that your hair texture is well prepared for any changes in look throughout the day and guarantees better hold
• A hairband, a small brush and a comb should also never be missing in your bag

And what if there is no time at all?

If you don't have time for styling in exceptional circumstances, there's always a Plan B! After all, you don't want everyone to know that you were pressed for time and skipped your hair routine.

And here's how it works:

Variant 1:

• Tie your hair tightly in a ponytail or braid or twist it into a bun
• Conceal stray strands with hair clips
• Use dry shampoo to conceal greasy roots

Variant 2:

• Take a bandana or a thin scarf
• Either tie it as a headscarf or braid it into your hair to cover as much of your unstyled hair as possible and draw attention to the headpiece
• Wear a cap or hat where appropriate; a casual look for a stroll through town is also possible with headgear

As you can see, great styling doesn't take much time to help you feel more individual! What's more important is that you pay attention to the right care products and are prepared for different situations. This way, you can achieve a dazzling appearance even in hectic moments.
