For many of us, summers and hair don’t go well together. And now that we are all confined to our homes, working from home in our PJs, a well-secured bun has become the ultimate comfort hair. Experimenting beyond the messy buns just seems a lot of work to me. But TBH, with the second wave hitting hard, we aren’t going back to work anytime soon. Naturally, video calls are going to increase tenfold. While you can get away with wearing your pajamas all day, that bun might not look impressive enough to convince your boss that you’re working hard. We can all use some TLC for our hair.
Now, we know you have been hustling hard and mornings are tough. That’s why we’ve got you the easiest hairstyles that can help you ace the summer-hairstyle game with minimal effort.
From super-sleek buns and ponytails to chic pigtails–we’ve rounded up some of the coolest hairstyles that are genuinely achievable when you’re short on time. With these hairstyles, you can look put together on your video calls.
Goodbye Messy Buns!

Teeny Braids
These charming micro braids are flooding our Instagram feed at the moment. We’ve noticed how fashion girls are embracing their natural texture with this one (yes, it even works on bed-head hair) and are braiding in several tiny strands. Spritz a salt spray into dry or damp hair to get those fresh-from-the-beach waves and create a tousled texture before adding in the braids. If you’re exacting, like us, you’ll want a fine-tooth comb. Separate one-inch sections of hair to set aside for the braids. Lastly, the almost invisible elastics will hold the style to perfection.
Slick & Shiny
The slicked-back bun is a timeless hairstyle that always looks polished but it secretly requires little skill. Create that smooth finish with this two-in-one finishing spray like this one. A little pomade like this one goes a long way to keep flyaways at bay and slick down those baby hair. Secure your pony with these comfortable yet cool hair ties.
All Tied Up
Looking for an easy way to style your long-AF hair? This proves that you don’t need more than a scarf or ribbon to make a basic ponytail look like a million bucks. This can be made simply by replacing one of the sections in your braid with a scarf. You’ll get a cool new look—plus, the scarf adds major volume. For scarf hair 2.0, turn that braid into a topknot.
’90s Inspired Hair
We all have celebs like Kendal Jenner to thank for bringing the ’90s hair claws back into our lives. This claw clip hairdo just requires your mom’s hair claws from the ‘90s. Perfect for when you’re having a bad hair day. Sweep your hair back into a twist and secure vertically with the clip. Really lean into the ’90s look by taking two front strands out to frame your face.
Double The Clips, Double The Fun
Another throwback trend? Oh yes! Just snap clips and pins, worn two at a time and secured symmetrically on either side of your part. Glide the hot brush onto dry hair to tame frizz and achieve a smooth overall finish. Keep your tresses smooth with this serum that protects from heat-styling damage. Mix and match with colorful clips for an elevated look.
The Easy Top Knot Hairstyle
Sure, we are all inclined towards a messy bun when in a time crunch, but this easy topknot hairstyle is so much cooler (and just as easy). All you’ll need is a brush, bobby pins, and a lightweight wax or gel to keep your flyaways nice and smooth. Trust us when we say you’ll only need two to three minutes to perfect this look. Yes, it is that simple!
Trust us, if we can do in no time, you can sure rock all of these. We are inspired to re-create each look, what about you?
