There are days when you want to look put-together but have no patience for elaborate styling. Which is exactly why easy hairstyles have gained in popularity.
They make you look neat and confident and pulled together — not like you spent a zillion hours getting ready, or in front of the mirror with hair grease (or trying to clean hairspray residue off your mirror).
If you’ve ever darted out in a huff, thinking your hair ruined everything else, this guide is for you. And all of these easy hairstyles are practical and beginner-friendly, so they’re great for noobs!
I already depend on a lot of these styles in my everyday life when I’m rushing out the door, at work, or have made last-minute plans, and they really do cut down getting-ready time without compromising on style.
Why Easy Hairstyles Are a Game Changer
Modern routines are hectic. Most of us do not have 30 minutes every morning to dedicate to our hair. That’s when easy hairstyles come into play.
They help you:
- Save time during busy mornings
- Reduce heat and styling damage
- Keep hair healthier long term
- Feel confident with minimal effort
And when I started doing simpler hairstyles, it was just not as much breakage and not as much stress about getting ready. Sometimes, less really is more.
1. The Low Sleek Ponytail
A low, sleek ponytail is one of the trusty, easy hairstyles. This style is appropriate for casual or professional use and requires minimal effort.
Why it works:
- Looks clean and polished
- Cleanses less oily hair or second-day hair
- Requires no heat or tools
- Suitable for all hair lengths
This is a particular winner if you favor an effortless yet stylish approach.
2. The Messy Bun on Purpose
The messy bun is popular because it’s forgiving and fast. It’s one of those easy hairstyles that actually look better when it’s not perfect.
What makes it effective:
- Takes under 5 minutes
- Hides frizz and uneven texture
- Looks relaxed and natural
- Works well for daily routines
The trick is not to tighten it too much. A little looser bun always reads as easier.
3. Half-Up, Half-Down Twist
Here’s one of the super flattering, easy hairstyles, especially if you need the hair off your face but still want it down.
Why people love it:
- Adds detail without effort

4. Classic Side Braid
The old-favourite side braid is always a sure bet for quick and easy hairstyles. It maintains hair in place, but it gives a soft and natural look. This look is perfect for a full day when you can’t be bothered to touch your hair.
Why this hairstyle works well:
- Keeps hair neat for hours
- Works on slightly frizzy hair
- Looks good, loose or tidy
- Heat and styling tool friendly
5. The Claw Clip Twist
The claw clip twist is one of the speediest easy hairstyles to do. It instantly makes your hair appear neat without snagging or breaking.
Best things about this style:
- Takes under 2 minutes
- Gentle on the scalp
- No heat required
- Suitable for Casual and Daily Wear
This allows us to support healthier hair that has become damaged with regular use. Combine it with rituals from 5 Smart Hair Care Routine Changes for Better Hair Health and you get something pretty noticeable.
6. The Straight-Down Natural Look
Sometimes, just going all au natural can be the ultimate in easy hairstyles. It’s simple, but confident — with a clean part and light product.
To keep this look polished:
- Use a light leave-in conditioner
- Smooth the ends gently
- Keep the part clean
- Avoid heavy products
This method also aids in hair growth and damage control. For growth-oriented tips, read 6 Hair Growth Tips: How to Grow Hair Faster & Healthier.
7. The Quick Top Knot
The easy top knot is a functional, fashionable, on-the-go look. For easy hairstyles, it’s one of the best for getting hair completely out of your face.

- Works on second-day hair
- Easy to adjust for comfort
- Looks casual but neat
Leaving it a little loose ensures you’re not putting any unnecessary strain on yourself.
How To Get Vintage Loose Waves – Without Heat!
Loose waves and a side part add texture to your hair that is natural. This is one of those no-brainer hairstyles that appear styled without you having to do much work.
How to make it work:
- Apply a light styling cream
- Scrunch gently
- Let hair air-dry
- Avoid heat tools
This approach allows hair to be healthier while looking groomed.
Best easy hairstyles for hair health
Why not try easy hairstyles on the other days of the week, saving your more complex styles for special occasion hair? With time, that does result in better texture and less breakage – aka better growth.
Benefits include:
- Less heat damage
- Reduced tension on roots
- Easier maintenance
- Healthier appearance
