Are you short on time but don’t want to sacrifice style when it comes to your hair? With the right hair care products—from nourishing styling oil to a hairspray with just the right amount of hold—you can save time on styling and achieve an adorable hairstyle to boot. The good news is you don’t have to have professional hair-styling skills to pull off a fantastic look, either. Ready to learn more? We’ll walk you through five of our favorite cute and easy hairstyles for all hair types and what products we recommend, including:

• Beachy waves

• Air-dried texture

• Second-day style

• Stay-all-day braid

• Slick high ponytail

Cute, easy hairstyle #1: Beachy waves

We love Surface Swirl Sea Salt Spray for achieving that lived-in, beach babe look no matter how far away you are from the shore. This lightweight mist combines sea salt with babassu seed oil and coconut oil to moisturize strands and create a beachy, soft wave. Spritz throughout damp hair from roots to ends and let air dry or finish with a diffuser for more volume. You can also use this sea salt spray on dry hair—just mist generously to dampen hair and hand-scrunch to style.

Cute, easy hairstyle #2: Air-tried texture

Take a break from hot tools and let your hair air dry with Rene Furterer Style Air Dry Cream. “Reducing daily heat exposure is one of the most effective strategies to extend the life of your hair color and health of your hair,” says Sarah Alexander, who has worked as a professional hair stylist and makeup artist and is now business development manager for Olive & Delmar. “Many people are embracing their natural texture and a styling cream is the perfect product to enhance this.” This smoothing cream enhances your hair’s natural texture and moisturizes strands with vitamin B5, glycerin and sea rocket extract. Apply a small amount to towel-dried hair to bring out your hair’s natural wave or curl and also keep frizz in check. That’s all you have to do for this simple no-heat hairstyle!

Cute, easy hairstyle #3: Wake up and go with a second-day style

Hang onto yesterday’s style with Verb Dry Shampoo. This talc-free, color-safe formula absorbs oil near your roots so you can stretch your blowout a second day. “I love the fact that dry shampoo extends your style to reduce daily shampooing,” Alexander says. “It works great as a styler to add texture to second-day hair.” Choose from two colors: The Light option has a violet pigment for blonde hair, while the Dark color blends seamlessly into darker hair without any white cast. Both feature a pleasant grapefruit scent.

“Dry shampoo works best when applied to the scalp prior to styling,” Alexander says. Shake well before using and then spray eight to ten inches away from your roots. You can use your fingertips to massage the dry shampoo into your roots before giving your hair a quick brush to distribute any excess powder.

Pro tip: If you prefer a non-aerosol, Verb also makes a Dry Shampoo Powder that’s great for travel.

Cute, easy hairstyle #4: Stay-all-day braid

A classic braid is one of our favorite cute and easy hairstyles. Try weaving Ouidad Coil Infusion Good Shape Defining Gel into a braid for a secure and simple way to keep your hair off your face. The flexible, gel-like texture controls your hair without locking it down with a crunchy feel. It also guards against frizzy hair with sericin (a silk-derived protein that helps lock out humidity) and boosts your hair’s moisture retention with argan oil. To get started, work a small amount of gel into wet or dry hair. Then, twist hair into your favorite braid and secure it with an elastic band.

Pro tip: Pulling wet hair into a tight style can cause undue stress on your hair, leading to potential breakage. If you’re working with wet hair, do a quick once-over with your blow dryer or let your mane air-dry until hair is slightly damp before you braid.

Cute, easy hairstyle #5: Slick high ponytail

For a seriously sophisticated look, try a super-slick high ponytail. Start with OLAPLEX No. 7 Bonding Oil, a weightless styling oil that boosts shine and color vibrancy while repairing existing hair damage with OLAPLEX’s patented ingredient, bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate. Shake a drop or two of oil into your palm, rub your hands together and glide onto your hair from root to ends. Using a brush, gather your hair into a ponytail and secure it with an elastic band once you’ve reached your desired high-pony height. If desired, divide a small piece of hair near the band and wrap around the elastic. Secure beneath your ponytail with a hairpin.

For the finishing touch, give your slick style some lasting power with a spritz of Kenra Professional Anti-Humidity Spray 5. This light-hold, shine-enhancing hairspray guards against static and frizz for up to 72 hours.
