5-Minute Hairstyles You Can Do On Busy Mornings

Mornings can be chaotic. Whether you’re racing to work, juggling errands, scrambling to take the dog for their morning walk, or just trying to squeeze in a little extra sleep, it always feels like there's not enough time. Not enough minutes to eat your breakfast, much less do your hair. But, just because you’re short on time doesn’t mean your hair has to suffer. With the right hairstyle (and a little help from The Halo), you can have polished hair in just 5 minutes or under.

Below, quick and cute hairstyles that will have you looking put together in no time, no matter how packed your morning is!

How The Halo Can Help Speed Up Your Routine

If you want to cut your styling routine in half without compromising on volume and length, The Halo is your secret weapon. Unlike clip-ins or traditional extensions, The Halo doesn’t require hours of styling or professional help. Once it's been cut to your desired length, you can easily pop it on, style and blend it with your natural hair, and instantly achieve that full, luscious look. Whether you’re going for waves, a ponytail, or an effortless updo, The Halo makes every hairstyle look more gorgeous with minimal effort.

5-Minute Hairstyles With The Halo

1. Face-framing Blowout

Nothing says chic like a sleek, face-framing blowout. This style adds movement and volume without needing a full salon session. With The Halo, you get that extra bounce and body, making your hair look fresh with minimal effort. It’s the perfect everyday look—polished enough for the office yet relaxed enough for casual outings.

2. Voluminous Waves

For those who love a little texture, voluminous waves offer a gorgeous yet undone look that works for any occasion. With The Halo, your waves instantly appear fuller and more defined, cutting down the need for excessive curling or teasing. Whether you prefer tousled beach waves or a more defined curl, this style gives your hair that glam factor without the time commitment.

3. Mid-Rise Ponytail

A mid-rise ponytail strikes the perfect balance between casual and glamorous. It’s professional enough for a meeting but relaxed enough for a brunch date. Whatever occasion you need to get to, The Halo adds extra volume at the crown, making your pony appear thicker and more elevated. With a simple wrap-around detail and a few face-framing strands left loose, this ponytail feels intentionally styled yet only takes minutes to achieve.

4. Scarfed Bun

If you’re in the mood for something that keeps your hair up but isn't a ponytail, a scarfed bun is a game-changer. The Halo helps create a fuller bun, and adding a silk scarf not only secures the style but also adds a pop of personality—you can go for bold prints when you're feeling fun or classic neutrals for something more formal.

5. Twisted Half-Pony

This half-pony gives a twist to the regular look and is so easy to do. It combines the best of both worlds—hair out of your face but still flowing freely at the back! The Halo enhances it by making your mane appear thicker and healthier. Secure it with a ribbon, a scrunchie, or even pins, and this style will look gorgeous from the moment you step out the door to the minute you come back at night.

6. Barrette It Up

When in doubt, accessories are your best friend. A simple barrette can instantly transform your hair, making it look styled without the hassle. Whether you clip it in the middle or go for a symmetrical clip-on-both-sides moment, The Halo ensures your hair has the body and movement to make even the simplest styles look elevated. Play around with pearl designs, colourful metals, or statement barrettes for an extra dose of personality.

7. Blown Out Bob

If you’re rocking a shorter length, a blown-out bob is the quickest way to achieve body with your hair. The Halo adds just the right amount of volume and movement, without making you look like a schoolgirl. Whether you keep it straight with a slight bend at the ends or add subtle waves, this style is fun, fresh, and, most importantly, quick to achieve on busy mornings. All you'd need is a hot brush or a flat iron to do it, and you're done!
