Work: hair
What makes Monday-to-Friday work days way better? Good hair, of course! 👩 We know there’s a lack of time in the mornings but that doesn’t mean your beauty routine needs to be lacking or dreary. Your hair is one of the most important parts of your look so that’s why we’ve compiled the best work hairstyle ideas for you to easily reference. We know you’re hustling but you can still be stylish and polished! Just pull up this list in morning — whether you’re at home, the gym, in the car, or on the train, in no time you can have a chic hairstyle. These are the best looks for every hair length and texture. Just learn a little braiding, pinning, twisting, and flipping to perfect your own favorite work hairstyles!
Braids
French braid:
A French braid feels neat for the office, yet has a bit of a Grecian-goddess vibe! Especially great for longer locks, get to practicing braiding and you’ll get it is a little time. Create a go-to French braid style that works best for you that you can fall back on any morning.
Side braid:
A side braid is even easier to do than a French braid! You can throw your mane in a side braid in two seconds. Part your hair on the opposite side of the braid — it tends to look best that way!
Boxer braids:
You can wear boxer braids in most work environments! Definitely the trickiest to execute of the braids for work, with a little practice you’ll get how to do it. Such a fashion-forward, beautiful hairstyle for work! Leave the braid ends down, or twist them up for an updo version.
Halo braid:
A halo braid is a neat and polished hairstyle for the office! This gorgeous updo feels so cute and will last all day.
Buns
Low bun:
A great low bun is a classic, chic hairstyle that may end up being your top go-to hairdo for work. You can throw up your hair in this quick but professional hairstyle so quickly. A low bun tends to look best with a side parting. Experiment with some different versions of this — different ways of wrapping and twisting the bun. Adding a scarf around the bun or a headband is a fashionable option too!
High bun:
High buns are one of our favorite hairstyles for work! It’s one of the fastest — yet highest visual impact — looks. Figure out what placement on the head you love the most on you. Whether you like to use a hair donut or not, this is a great hairstyle!
Ponys
Low pony:
A low pony is super cute for work. It’s easy and simple. Try a middle or side parting, or brush your hair straight back — see what you feel best in.
Midi pony:
A midi pony is so quick and easy (and works well even if your hair is not that clean)! Try a side parting or brush straight back and loosen the top to make a voluminous pouf.
High pony:
A high pony is chic and beautiful! Tease the hair length for more pony volume. Try wrapping a piece of hair around your hair elastic to elevate it from a basic gym pony.
Half-up
Half-up:
There’s a variety of great half-up hairstyles to play with for work hair. Try different ways of twisting and pinning! Or, take your hair back into a half-up bun or braid.
Half-up bun:
A neatly done half-up bun hairstyle looks great for work! It gets the hair out of your face so you’re ready to take on the day. Plus, it’s super cute!
Blowouts
Loose waves:
A wavy blowout hairstyle shows off your beautiful mane in all its glory. Do voluminous waves with a middle part. Or sweep your locks to one side with a bobby pin behind the opposite ear to help keep your look in place.
Straight:
Simple, straight locks are clean for work — whether you do a basic blowout with a round brush or go even straighter with a flat iron! Try a middle or side parting, and you can twist and pin the side if you like.
