Quick and easy hairstyles to try for events

These simple and quick hairstyles will make sure you look sleek even when you’re in a rush.

When preparing for important events, there are three things to consider—the outfit, the makeup and the hair. While outfits are often pre-planned and you’ll likely have at least have a basic idea of your everyday makeup, hairstyles are always the last to come to mind. However, just like accessories, your hairstyle can really help to elevate your outfit, helping the look achieve its full potential.

That said, not everyone’s great at doing hair—or has the time for it. If you have always had a hard time figuring out the perfect hairstyle to match different outfits, you’ve come to the right place. We have compiled a list of foolproof, easy hairdos for every length of hair, from edgy short cuts to luscious long hair to make sure that you’ll never have to crack your head thinking of hair inspo for your looks.

Partial ties

Shoulder-length hair can be awkward. It’s always too short to tie up into a bun, but too plain to be leftdown. These chic half-up styles are easy to recreate and make you look put together, even when you’re in a rush.
