It's not easy waking up early everyday to work a full shift at work or spend the whole day at school, but whats even worse is trying to find the time early in the morning to do your hair. Florida portrays and even harder obstacle, humidity. Frizzy hair is a battle that many of us just can't win. Sometimes putting your hair in an up-do can be the easiest solution. I know it may seem hard to construct a french twist or a clean bun, but I'm going to share a world full of hair secrets that you can easily accomplish quickly at home.

For a clean cut look...
The Honey Bun

1. Grab the hair in a low pony tail and twist the tail until it tightens all the way to the base of the pony tail.
2. In the same direction you were twisting, wrap the twisted tail around and around the pony base just as a honey bun twist around and around form the cent of the bun. Allow the hair to be a little loose, so you don't look too stiff.
   
3. Using a hair elastic, secure the twisted bun in place. Pull small pieces out of the bun to loosen it up and prevent you from looking like you belong at the ballet.
4. Add some hair accessories to spice up the look, like barrettes, flowers or clips. Forever 21 always has several options for hair accessories, you can visit one of their many location or order offline.
   
5. OPTIONAL: If you want to get really sassy, pull a few strands out of the bun, twist the small strands one by one and individually bobby pin them to the outer edge of the bun. This will give it a more intricate look.

Fun and modern look...
The Twister

1. Start out similar to the Honey Bun, by grasping a low pony tail and twisting the tail until it tightens toward the base of the pony.
2. In the same direction you twisted your hair, lift the pony up against the rest of your hair so the end of the tail is sticking straight toward the ceiling in a vertical line.
   
3. Tuck the about a third of the twisted tail into your body of hair and secure with either bobby pins or a clip. Clips tend to be easier. Allow the remaining hair to hang out of the clip up top the twist.
4. To give it an edgy look, squeeze a small about on hair gel onto the tips of your fingers and apply at the ends of the loose hair to give each strand a more defined and spiked look. You may also achieve the spiked ends with hair spray if more convenient.

The Old School Cool
When your really in a rush and hardly even have the time to spare for brushing your hair, there is still a solution.

1. If not with a brush at least brush your fingers through your hair.
2. Pull out a scarf with a cute print, bright color or a headband. Try to pick something that compliments what your wearing that day.
3. It's as simple as that! If you like you can even wear the scarf or band with your hair up in a pony tail. This trend used to be very fashionable in the 1950's and has now come back. All your co-workers and fellow students will be impressed with your fashion forward approach.

Lastly, if it's just one of those days where your hair really needs to be washed and blow dried, but you on a time crunch. Travel back to the 80's decade and sport your "do" to the side.

The Side Swipe

1. Pull your hair in a low pony tail position to one side of your head, just slightly below the bottom of your ear.

PONY OPTION

1. Before placing your side pony tail into a hair elastic, remove a small chunk of hair from the bottom end of the the pony. Secure the rest of your pony tail with the hair elastic, leaving the small chunk of hair out.
2. Take the small chunk and wrap it around the hair elastic, completely covering the elastic. Use a bobby pin to pin the wrapped piece of hair to your head .
   

BRAID OPTION:

1. If you know how to braid, then braid the pony and then place an elastic.
   
2. Pull out some strands of hair around your face to help frame your face and modernize this 80's do.

*For ALL of these clean and trendy hair styles, I highly recommend using a side part rather then a straight middle part, also referred to in the news industry as a "butt" part. I'm sure you can figure out how it got that name.
