We all have those days when we roll out of bed dreading the state of our hair, and wondering how we’re going to pull together an office-worthy hairstyle that won’t make us late (or maybe that’s just me…).
But thankfully TikTok has saved the day with plenty of lazy girl hairstyles that will give you that Princess Diaries transformation feeling in less than 5 minutes. From claw clips to “the perfect bun”, these quick and easy hairstyles will take the stress out of your morning and are perfect for second (and third) day hair — just add dry shampoo.
Ultimate low bun
Blessed by Kim Kardashian’s favourite hairstylist, this chic low bun look is perfect for everyday wear. All you need is an elastic and some pins!
Claw clip hack
Claw clips are without a doubt one of our favourite comeback trends and can help you create a hairstyle in literally seconds. Whether you’re French-twisting, going for a bun or trying this half-up claw clip style, you can’t go wrong.
Try: Lady Jayne Claw Grip ($4.99 at Chemist Warehouse)
Twisted pony
This style is perfect for adding volume to your ponytail and will work on any hair length. Opt for small polybands over clear elastics for the side twists to help reduce any breakage.
Hair scarf pony
A hair scarf is the ultimate way to add a pop of colour or pattern to your outfit, and this dreamy look will without a doubt become a go-to for us this winter.
Braided pony
Perfect for thick hair, this low-fuss braided ponytail will elevate both workday and weekend looks. Take it to the next level with some statement hair pins or braid in a hair scarf for a pop of colour.

Ooooh so good! I think the last one is my favourite just because I think I can manage it after watching it only once.
I love them all, especially the braided pony.
Low pony for me.
I like the pony with a scarf.
That’s pretty much how I put my long hair up in a claw clip!
The braided pony & hair scarf pony are cute!
I get so inspired seeing different hairstyles on tik tok, usually fairly easy to recreate
Ultimate low bun looks so easy to achieve.
That low bun looks so easy!
The ultimate low bun closely followed by the twisted pony.
Definitely the ultimate low bun, I do a daggy mum one on the daily.
Braided poni! Will do it!
Nice ideas but my hair is so soft nothing will stay the way I want it to. That said, I’m not very creative with hairstyles and have given up. Not even bobby pins stay in unless they are a meter long 🙂
The claw clip was ALL I wore every day back in primary school haha. I’m glad it’s back but would probably prefer a smaller, black one
I need to try these!
I have short hair so I can’t manage to do any of those styles.
They all look Fabulous, unfortunately my hair isn’t long enough to be able to do any Pony Tails or Buns.
They always look so easy
Love some of these ideas. Can’t wait to try them out!
Not relevant for my short hair these days
The braided pony looks nice.
I want to try hair scarf pony!
Such great ideas, I always just go with the messy bun look
Like the braided pony, and actually looks like something I could be bothered doing for a nice hairstyle.
These are all good for people with normal hair! Wish they’d show some hacks for us poor fine haired gals.
Theres a few favorites in there .. they look super easy but not many would work for curly hair
Need more articles like this. Love quick hairstyle ideas!
Just tried claw one. My hair got so tangled haha
These styles look great, but I’m still not sure I can manage them.
All styles look good. Me I’m into wash and go
Tik Tok has so much good hair inspo.
Hair scarf pony look nice.
These all look so great, sadly I am seriously uncoordinated and can really only manage a pony tail or a bun.
I love how easy a claw clip is to creating a style
I love these quick videos.
Hair scarf pony looks easy to me but haven’t tried as yet.
These 5 minute hairstyles look good. Knowing me, it will take longer to do.
Must try all these! They look AMAZING ✨!!! X
They look easy to do too which is great.
I wish my hair was long enough for these 🙁
I love these but my hair needs to be just a little longer to achieve.
