4 Fast Hairstyles for When You Are Running Late
Oops! That unfortunate moment when you find out that the alarm clock went off about an hour ago and you have no longer than 10 minutes to get ready. Let’s face it, most women know the meaning of the phrase “to run against the clock.” The modern world is so fast, and sometimes we live in a hurry while the to-do list grows.
It shouldn’t ever affect your style, though. Even with ten minutes to spare and a couple of hairpins, a real woman is able to create an incredible hairstyle for any occasion that will meet the office dress code, satisfy your athletic needs, and emphasize your natural beauty and charm in case of a romantic date.
Here are a few up-dos that anyone can do on the move.
1. Half-Up Half-Down
This hairstyle is a lifeline for bad hair days. It will keep your femininity afloat thanks to loose free strands flowing down the shoulders. On the other hand, half-up allows for great range of EASY and FAST styling variants so that you can effortlessly hide all hair issues, beginning with thin hair and lack of volume and ending in growing roots and dirty hair.
