Everyone likes to look great, and your choice of hairstyle not only reflects your personality, but can help make a good impression with the people you meet. But with today’s busy lifestyle, do you have time to do something elaborate with your hair every day? Probably not. Most of us don’t, so here are a few simple ideas to get a great look without a lot of extra work.
The real trick to a no-hassle style is finding an overall look that suits you, then determining how to get it without having to spend an hour in front of a mirror.
Layering – With some short to medium length styles, layering can add volume and give a specific look with little to no fuss. The layers make your hair look fuller and add a texture that can be accentuated with just a little spray and tease. Some leave in conditioner can give you some shine as well.
Highlights – Streaks of color have become very popular, and they can also give the illusion of texture and volume. Leave in conditioner, straight from the shower, will add some sheen, then a simple, 5-minute style with some gel or hairspray should get you through the biggest part of your day.
Spray or gel – Setting a style can be the most important part. If you apply gel to wet hair, you get a smooth finish when dry. Gelling dry hair will give you a shiny, wet look that dries firm, with a lot of texture. A tease and spray can be a bit more involved but can give you a ton of all-day volume.
Many other factors can step up your hair style without much work, so consult your favorite hair stylist the next time you’re at the salon.
