Nothing beats a ponytail on a hot summer day. It is a super quick hairstyle that can be done at any place and anytime. However, to give your hairstyle a touch of glam, you can opt for a volumized hairstyle. The best way to get this look is to divide your hair into two sections. Once this is done, tease the top section of your hair and tie it into a high ponytail. Then gather the lower section of your hair along with a high ponytail and tie it together.

Quick hairstyles like this one give your hair the illusion of looking longer and more volumized.

A knotted style is a perfect look on days when you just need a quick style to get your hair together before heading out the door.

Secure both the knots with a barrette.

These quick hairstyles are a fresh take on the classic simple hair twist.

To get this look, take the top portion of your hair and tie it into a loose top knot using a hair-tie while the rest of your hair hangs loose.

The great thing about this hairstyle is that it can be styled up or down to suit your attire.

For girls with long hair, a high ponytail is a go-to hairstyle. It’s simple, quick and easy to do. This classic hairdo can be done in seconds on days when you’re rushing out the door or even en route to work. To give your look a new angle, pull your hair into a ponytail and tie it using your own locks of hair. When tying your hair, let a few strands of hair hang loose. Then twist this remaining hair around the ponytail with your hair. Make sure to secure your look with bobby pins when rocking quick hairstyles like this one.

On days when you just want to let your hair down, you can style your hair into some soft beach waves. This versatile hair is perfect for both the summer and winter time and can be styled up or down depending on your attire. For a more casual look, you can opt for loose waves and add some hairspray to keep the curls tight.

However, if you are looking for something a little dressier, you can take a few locks of hair from either side and twist them at the crown of your head. Secure your hair with a pretty barrette to add some glam to quick hairstyles like this one!

When you are short on time, it can be tempting to throw your hair in a bun and run out the door. This is fine if your headed to the gym or to run some errands but if you are going to work, you need to put a little more effort in your hair. These quick hairstyles are perfect for the busy girl on the go. These hairdos only take a few minutes out of your busy morning and can make you look totally effortless and chic.
