Okay, so today I’m gonna spill the tea on some super quick and easy hairstyles I’ve been rockin’ with my curly hair. Seriously, sometimes I just wanna roll outta bed and not look like a total mess, ya know?
First up, the High Puff. This one’s my go-to when I’m REALLY short on time. Alright, so I literally just flip my head over, gather all my hair up like I’m making a super high ponytail (almost on top of my head), and secure it with a scrunchie. Not a regular hair tie, a SCRUNCHIE! They’re way more gentle on curls. Then, I kinda fluff it out a bit to give it some volume. Boom! Done. Took like, what, 30 seconds?
Next, we got the Half-Up, Half-Down bun. This is for when I wanna look a little more put-together but still lazy af. I section off the top half of my hair, like from my temples up. Then I twist it into a messy bun right on top of my head and secure it with another scrunchie (told ya they’re essential!). I let the rest of my curls hang loose. It’s cute, it’s easy, and it keeps the hair out of my face. I usually wet my hair a tiny bit before, just to redefine my curls.
Then there’s the Side Braid. Don’t need to be fancy! I part my hair to the side, take a section from the front, and do a simple three-strand braid, nothing crazy. I braid it down to my ear and secure it with a small elastic band. The key is to keep it loose and messy. I even pull out a few strands around my face to make it look more effortless. This one’s great for adding a little something without spending ages on it.
Okay, and finally, the Pineapple for sleeping (but also works as a daytime style!). Before bed, I flip my head over and gather all my hair on top of my head like a fountain, securing it with a loose scrunchie. In the morning, I just shake it out and fluff it up. It helps preserve my curls overnight and gives me instant volume. Sometimes I’ll even spritz it with a little water to refresh the curls. Seriously saves so much time in the morning!
- High Puff: Flip, gather, scrunchie, fluff.
- Half-Up Bun: Section, twist, scrunchie, let loose.
- Side Braid: Part, braid (easy!), elastic, pull strands.
- Pineapple: Flip, gather (high!), scrunchie, shake & fluff.
These are all super forgiving styles, so don’t worry about making them perfect. The messier, the better, in my opinion! Hope these help you lazy curly girls out there. Lemme know if you try ’em!
