Cut Monday morning

Monday morning guarantees stress After a weekend of lounging around, it's always a bit of a switch. Stress is haste. And haste means little time for the mirror. Doesn't mean you have to show up at the office with a desperate hairstyle. So here are five fun looks you can put together in just a few minutes. You really don't need to set your alarm any earlier.

 Top knot

A no-brainer of course, but a top knot is really the easiest. It can be nice and messy, and feel free to pull out a few strands. You can also give it a little backcombing, which makes your bun even messier and looks fuller.

Half braid

If you're not such a good braider this hairstyle is a prime way to throw in the towel. Make a few braids, stop, and tie them together with a clear elastic. It doesn't take as much time as a full braid.

Creative with hairpins

Throw your hair back and create a nice shape with bobby pins. People will think you've spent hours on it, but it really only took you a minute and your hair is neatly pinned back.

Braided together

Braids always look very ingenious, but you can also just make two loose braids and tie them together at the back. Easy to do yourself and just as pretty.

Low ponytail

Sounds simple, but you need to make sure your hair is anti-frizz. So first, brush and style your hair neatly (this only takes a few minutes) and then do a low ponytail. Wrap a strand around it to hide your elastic. For an extra voluminous effect, gently pull the ponytail just above your elastic. That gives it lift.

Messy low bun

If you want a cool look, then dirty hair is allowed. Just like unbrushed hair. Make it even messier and then tie it into a low bun. Mess solved.

Braids

Braids always do well. So a loose little thing here and there suggests that you've taken the time for a good look.
