If you’re anything like me, Monday morning starts off right, with a perfect hairstyle. But by the time Wednesday rolls around, I’ve already lost motivation and inspiration. For the rest of the week, my hair is down and loose or, if it’s a “bad hair day,” in a bun on the top of my head.
Everyone has days whenever they just cannot be bothered to spend time on their hair. Here are a few options for your lazy hair days.
Easy Mid-Week Hairstyles
Accessorized Updo
If you find yourself constantly tossing your curls into an updo, invest in a few accessories. Bejeweled bobby pins, colorful headbands and chic bows are all great options for dressing up your ‘do.
Combed-Through Curls
Want to change up your texture? If you’re a type 3 curly girl, try combing (no brushes allowed”> through your curls for big, loose waves. Here’s how to get the look:
- Deep condition your curls in the shower. When you get out, finger-comb a generous amount of your favorite styling solution through your damp hair, then part it.
- Let your hair air dry. Then comb (DO NOT BRUSH”> through your curls with a wide-tooth comb until they fall in loose waves.
- Finally, use an anti-frizz spray or a VERY small amount of oil to tame flyaways.
Try a Side Part
Changing up your part is one of the easiest ways to achieve a new look. Side parts are especially great for post-big chop curly girls and their TWAs. Solange rocked a side part in her TWA days and, as always, she looked amazing. You’ll need a comb, gel and clips or bobby pins to achieve the look:
-
Use your comb to divide your hair below the forehead.
-
Add gel and secure each side of your part with bobby pins.
- Once your hair has dried, remove your bobby pins and you’re ready to go!
Topsy Ponytail
For this hairstyle, which is a grown-up version of one that I used to wear in lower school, I will redirect you to Camille Styles. The key to making it so chic? Keep it loose.
