Most of the time, if my thick, (sort of) healthy, brunette hair won’t oblige, it’s scraped back to its rightful pineapple position. But, on those days where a messy bun won’t cut it – squishing it under a graduation hat, for example – a catalogue of minimal-effort hairstyles is sure to come in handy. Here it is – three event-ready looks, made for the laid-back amongst us.

1 Ask for: A sleek plait
The sleek plait is number one for keeping long hair at bay – the classic aesthetic of primary school days for a reason. We’ve reinvented it since the playground, adding accessories and smoothing spray for a sleek finish.

2 Ask for: Half up, half down
The lazy answer to an up-do, the half-up-half-down looks polished but requires little effort. The best bit? Length is irrelevant. Give it a try if your hair is too short for a ponytail or pushing waist-length.
-
3 Ask for: A top knot
When your hair is properly short, a top knot can be a straight-up hassle. Luckily, 2019 brought hair accessories back, so up-dos are no longer a pipe dream. Grab a few clips (the more the better) and lock your strays in place.
