Time Saving Hairstyles for College Going Women

Learning how to make some really great time saving hairstyles should be a top priority for any working woman or college going student. There are just so many days you end up waking late for school and so, you need a ‘do that can be made within minutes and looks ultra-chic at the same time.  


The Messy Hair Bun
To achieve this look, you just need some bobby pins, a scrunch or an elastic band to hold your hair. There are many variations of this hairstyle. For example, you can have your hair piled up at the top of your head to show off your long slender neck, or you can choose to make a bun at the nape of your neck.
All you have to do now is to tie your hair in a ponytail, and then twist it around in a circular motion and secure with bobby pins. One of the tricks that should be incorporated over here is to let some stray locks loose out of the bun. This tactic gives your hairstyle a sexy carefree look, and does away with any severe appearance.

Wild Waves
Do you have long hair that takes ages to curl using a hot iron rod? Is the hour long early morning routine involving lots of heat damage starting to get to you? Sometimes, we just don’t have that much time – or hair product - to make those perfect ringlets or smooth waves. Well, why not try a sexier alternative?

You can achieve this look with a simple time saving technique. You need to start off with towel dried hair divided into sections. The hair should be just slightly damp – NOT wet. Apply a bit of face primer to the ends to prevent split ends and moisturize the locks. Yes, it really works! Then, just braid each section of your hair and tie the ends with elastic bands. Preferably, you should just sleep with the hair still braided and open the braids in the morning. However, if you’re in a rush, use a blow-dryer till you can feel the hair has become absolutely dry.

If you want tighter waves, then just divide your hair into a larger number of sections and braid your hair more finely. The result: Wavy tresses that are high on volume.

Love is in the Hair!!!

Getting your hair Valentine’s Day ready is simple! I am all about soft romantic hairstyles and what day could be better than Valentine’s Day to put those hairstyles to good use. Whether you are having a romantic night out on the town or a sweet night at home, these looks are perfect and sure to get some attention!

Soft Sexy Waves – This Look is flattering on everyone and is so easy to achieve. Start by taking your first section around the nape of the neck. Spritz each section with hair spray before you curl. Use a wand or wrap hair around the barrel of a curling iron without opening the clip. Work up the back of the head and once you get to the top of the ear, begin to incorporate the sides of the hair. The best part about this look is that it is a little undone and doesn't need to be perfect. Be sure to have the curl going away from the face to keep this look modern and to create that soft wave. Once you have curled throughout, spritz on Rose Water (keeps my hair touchable and smelling great too!). Run your fingers through to soften up the curl and tah-dah! You are Gorg!!


Sexy Up-Do – Another twist on Valentine’s Day is a pretty up-do. Begin by curling your hair with a wand or curling iron. Once you have curled the entire head run your fingers throughout to soften up the look. Next, gather your hair into a low ponytail and break into 3 or 4 sections. Loosely pin sections around the nape of the neck. Let a few pieces fall out around your face to make you look extra sweet! For a little extra flair add a cute broach! Finish off with some hair spray and you are ready!!
