Time-Saving Styling Techniques
Now that we’ve gotten a quick routine down, it’s time to get your hair ready for the next step – styling. Styling that takes little to no time. Here are a few tips:
1. Air Drying Tips
Most people would prefer blow-drying their hair when it’s wet. But let’s face it – we’d much rather get two tasks done at once instead of just focusing on drying your hair. Reach for a microfiber towel and gently pat to remove excess water. If your hair tends to crave some moisture after it’s dry, it’s a good idea to use a leave-in conditioner now. While you wait, it’s best to avoid touching until it’s dry. Leave your hair to dry while you work on something else.
2. Heat-free Styling Options
If you don’t have much time, it’s obvious that you want hair styling to be as short and quick as possible. That’s why heat styling isn’t the best (and quickest) option. But don’t worry – you can still wake up to gorgeous curls without frying your hair with a wand. You can braid damp hair before bed for natural waves in the morning. You can also use foam rollers or flexi-rods for curls without heat.
3. Simple Hairdos
Go for something that’s quick and easy, like ponytails, braids, or buns. If you want to look great without spending hours on your hair, use accessories like hair bands, clips and decorative clutches to instantly amplify your hairdo. They make your hair look more put together, even when it took just a couple of minutes.
Minimizing Hair Damage
To ensure your hair remains strong and damage-free, your lifestyle must also be kept in check. Products can only do so much if your habits aren’t the best. Protect your hair from damage with these tips:
- Limit the use of hot tools to 1-2 times a week.
- Always use a heat protectant when styling.
- Detangle hair gently with a wide-tooth comb, starting from the ends.
- Avoid tight hairstyles that tug on your scalp.
Overnight Hair Care
If you’re big on overnight routines, you can consider having a few rituals to wake up to picture perfect hair with little time and effort.
- Apply a nourishing serum or hair oil to seal moisture
- Use a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and frizz
- Tie your hair into loose braids or buns to avoid waking up with a tangled mess
Quick Fixes & Emergency Hacks
Here are a few tips when you’re rushing and need some last-minute help:
- Got no time to wash your greasy hair? Get your hands on a dry shampoo. Spritz a bit, work it into your scalp and you’re all set to face the day.
- Flyaways stealing your confidence? Keep a hair oil or serum handy. A few drops can instantly smooth these down.
- Twist and pin flyaways when you’re short on time but still need to do something to your hair.
Conclusion
The tips and practices outlined in this blog should help you look and feel your best, even when time doesn’t seem to be on your side. Take a few moments out to look after your hair, and more importantly, yourself. Care and nurture yourself even amidst the chaos. Even on, especially on days it’s hard to do so. With just a few habits and a routine in place, these can be your quiet moments of peace in your busy life.
