Every morning I wake up, drink my coffee, put on a full face of make up, and…barely touch my hair. Because no matter how much time I have to get ready in the morning, I somehow manage to avoid spending more than 5 minutes on my hair.
There’s just something so draining about doing your hair. I don’t find it nearly as fun as doing my makeup so if I can take a short cut, I will! This has made me an expert in quick and easy hairstyles for the lazy girl.
Here are my 5 favourite lazy girl hairstyles that you can do in under 5 minutes and that suit all occaisons!

Casual top knot
You’ve probably (unknowingly) been doing it for years, in the bathroom while you take your make-up off or when you apply a face mask, but never beyond the confines of your home. Scrap that thought, right now, because it’s time to turn the top knot into your go-to lazy girl style that suits all occaisons. Keep it messy and deshevelled for a more casual look, or dress it up with clips or a scarf, like Chloe Morello, for a chicer look.

The half-up half-down bun
Nothing says, “I’m effortlessly chic” quite like the laidback half-up half-down bun. Simply pull half your hair back into a casual bun and you’re good to go. Similar to the top knot, you can wear this style for a casual afternoon brunching with friends and running errands, or you can give it more structure with a little heat styling and holding spray to dress it up.

Natural waves
Naturally curly or wavy hair should be embraced, not shunned. If you got it, rock it! Run some smoothing serum and curl holder through your hair after the shower and let your hair air dry. Take a wand to any pieces that aren’t sitting exactly how you’d like, but don’t go overboard! The look is appealing because it’s natural and dishevelled.

Sleek and simple pony
A slicked back ponytail is one of the quickest and easiest hairstyles for all hair types. Just brush it back, tie it up, and add some holding spray! If your natural tresses aren’t tame enough to rock this style, try heat styling just the ponytail part once it’s pulled back to keep this look super quick and low maintenance.

Low ponytail
The low ponytail (with middle part) is another alternative to the sleek and simple pony. Achieve this look by running a straightener over your hair, parting it down the middle, and slick it back into a low pony. This hairstyle works especially well if you have medium to long hair!

It is always the way! I also find my skin has good days when I have no plans lol.
Bahaha, all my hair styles are lazy styles. More than 5 minutes on my hair—unheard of. Tying it up on way to work—yep, that’s my modus operandi.
This article came right on time because I've been having a lot of bad hair days recently
A good top knot is honestly the greatest when you're having a really bad hair day. Just slick away the little fuzzy hairs with hairspray try and make it look neat, it's allll good.
My kind of thing 😉
I personally think that this isn't just for lazy individuals. It is also perfect for those who are into productivity. The less time you spend on your hair, the more work you could get out of it. We would love to make our hair more presentable, be it for work or even a casual outing with friends. That takes a lot of time and preparation. This article is perfect for me. I even invested in a hairdryer mix into a brush to save more time.
A ponytail is always my fall back style.
You forgot to mention the laziest/best style yet: throwing it all under a big slouch beanie! I'm known as beanie girl for this reason lol
That is definitely a good point as well!
My go to has to be a bun or a high pony
My hair is short and therefore a bit difficult to put it up in a ponytail or such.
