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.

How to make your hair grow faster

Everyone knows at least someone (if not themselves) who wants to grow their hair faster and stronger. Long hair is one of the oldest symbols of femininity and a beautiful, long and well treated hair caught the attention of both men and women. It's a sign of health and youth.
There are tricks to make the hair grow faster and healthier, a treatment that comes from within. Of course there are good hair products, and tools but if you don't eat well and drink plenty of water, I'm sure all the chemical treatments won't do miracles.
Drink water: drink plenty of water, not only it does wonders for your hair, but to your whole body as well, flush those toxins out! Your skin will look cleaner and fresher and your make up will last longer in a clean and healthy canvas.
Eat well: foods that are rich in Omega-3, proteins and vitamin D promote hair growth and a healthy scalp, like salmon and eggs.
Get your antioxidants right in as well, like oranges, yellow peppers and berries: vitamin C will prevent hair breakage and will give strength to your hair.
Add sunflower seeds and almonds to your salad: not only they will provide an extra flavor to it, but the sunflower seeds are abundant with Vitamin E, which promotes the blood flow to the scalp and a faster hair growth, and the almonds are very high in biotin, which will help your hair grow faster and thicker.

Essential Combs and Brushes for Beautiful Hair

Wide-tooth Comb

Wide-tooth comb:

Ideal for every hair type, this medicine cabinet essential works quickly to detangle and smooth freshly-washed hair. It’s perfect to keep in the shower to evenly distribute conditioner or use right after you get out before styling. Run the comb all the way from roots to ends for knot-free strands.

Paddle brush:

Paddle Brush

Another versatile tool, this multipurpose brush can be used to smooth, straighten, and increase shine for long hair. I like to use it before a round brush to help dry hair first. Spritz some shine spray over the brush after styling and run through hair for subtle glossiness that won’t weigh down over the course of the day.

Boar Round Brush

Boar round brush:

If your strands are tightly curled, this must-have will help gently grab them at the roots to make them smooth and frizz-free. The larger the brush, the more loose your curls will end up.

Ceramic round brush:

Designed to work with heat styling tools, this brush helps hair dry quickly and smoothly with lots of volume. Wrap sections of hair around the brush, hold it vertically, and blast it with heat from your blow dryer. When you release, you’ll have soft, bendy waves and tons of body.
