I absolutely hate doing my hair before work. Hate it. Why waste those precious minutes of beauty rest to get up early and work at the beauty? I embrace my tangled mane! (Ok, not all the time, but about 4 out of 5 days I’m not touching it). I mean, to me, going to work looking all prettied up is nice, but at the same time…why? What’s the point. You know what I mean? Maybe you don’t. But that’s okay. Because you all know how lazy I am when it comes to life, so I’m always looking for socially acceptable short cuts!
So I’ve got a few ‘do’s in my book to whip out in the morning as I’m rushing around like a crazy person. Oh, and disclaimer here: This is a selfie post. Sorry! Love me or hate me 😉
1. The Messy Bun – my absolute go-to style
2. Messy Bun with Braid
4. Tamed Au Natural
5. French Braid
6. High Pony
7. Headband
And there you have it ladies and gentlemen…the many hairs of Allison! What’s your go to look?!
Happy styling 🙂

I see all those looks on the train when I go to work. I like the au natural best. But, they all work. I just put a hat on ( :

Lol I do some of these too: messy bun, hair down, and pony tail. I SO wish I could braid my hair, but my hair is still in layers…it doesn’t work. Not yet. 😔

Oh yeah, that’s the worst after I get a haircut. I have to wait a few months to braid it again.

Haha same…i’m usually sporting the top knot bun/messy bun or a high pony. I did find a lazy girl way to curl your hair though!! If you yank your hair in a high pony and curl the hair in the pony then viola when you take it out! But if you have as thick of hair as me, there will still be hair underneath that needs to be touched up and curled but it saves me a solid chunk of time 🙂

Great styles! I have short hair, mainly the back I shave it..less to deal with & saves some time but still has the potential to be a pain!! 🙃

They all look like you’ve ‘done’ your hair! I generally straighten my fringe and layers, and leave it there. I hate having my hair up, but want to keep the heat used on my hair to a minimum!

Haha that’s the illusion I’m going for!! Yeah I’m weird and sometimes having my hair down gives me headaches lol. So it starts the day down and then goes up.

Definitely going with lovin’ ya! We are kindred spirits in this department, although I think I’m even lazier! I could never do a French braid…I’ve tried multiple times. I can do it on my sisters’ hair, but for the life of me I can’t do it on my own. I want to come over to your house for a lazy girl’s hair tutorials, lol! Even my “messy buns” (if you can call them that) are usually a flop. Your messy bun looks so cute!

My hair was just a mess, it was very curly and really thick, and I had made the mistake of trying to get it myself. So I shaved it all off for charity and have been growing it back ever since
