It’s cold, it’s dark, and the festivities are officially over – which means any hairstyle that buys us extra time in bed and looks polished enough for work is a definite yes. Quick to do, easy to wear, and flexible enough to last all day, these are the back-to-work hair looks we’re relying on right now.

A simple French twist

Chignons and twists are having a moment – and for good reason. They instantly lift the face, work across most lengths and hair types, and look intentional even when slightly undone. For inspiration, look to Hailey Bieber’s recent take on the style. To recreate it, gather hair low at the nape, twist upwards, and secure with a claw clip or barrette. Finish by smoothing flyaways with a small amount of Almost Everything Cream.

 

 

The sleek low bun

Minimal, clean and endlessly reliable, the low bun is a timeless workwear classic. It keeps hair off your face while looking sharp with tailoring and everyday outfits. Smooth hair back into a low ponytail, twist into a bun and secure. Finish with a pea-sized amount of Almost Everything Cream for a sleek, polished result.

 

 

A half-up, half-down ponytail

The perfect middle-ground hairstyle, the half-up, half-down ponytail keeps hair off your face while still allowing for an effortless down style. Softly framing and easy to wear, simply take sections from the temples, pull them back, and secure with an elastic, small clip or pin. Keep it relaxed rather than tight, and mist Air Dry Spray through the ends to enhance natural curls or tousled waves.
