10 Hairstyles You Can Do In 5 Minutes (Or Less!)

Freida Pinto
We’ve all done it: You overslept and have no time to do your hair (or makeup, but that’s another story). Freida Pinto’s tousled braid is oh-so-trendy this fall and super easy to do. Simply sweep your hair back and create a loose braid–don’t worry if pieces fall out along the way. Dab on a colored lip gloss, and you’re good to go! Try on braids in the Makeover Studio!

Beyonce
Beyonce’s side-swept low ponytail takes mere minutes to perfect. You’ll even have time to curl the long bang around your finger and blast with a tiny bit of hairspray for an all-day flounce that holds. Try on Beyonce’s hairstyles in the Makeover Studio!

Brooklyn Decker
Brooklyn Decker’s choppy bob is adorably sexy to begin with. Add in a little half-up, half-down pouf and a side part, and you’ve got a hairstyle that transitions seamlessly from office to out (to morning after…). Try on Brooklyn Decker’s hairstyle in the Makeover Studio!

Maria Menounos
Not to repeat ourselves here, but braids are going to be everywhere this fall. If you’re not a fan of the full-on plait, try Maria Menounos’ hairline braid. Try on Maria Menounos’ hairstyle in the Makeover Studio!

Kat Graham
You can never go wrong with a top knot à la Kat Graham. If you’ve got a case of the second-day greasies, adding a cute headband will fix that in a second. Try on Kat Graham’s hairstyles in the Makeover Studio!

Rashida Jones
Easy and breezy is how we’d describe Rashida Jones’ chic, wavy bob with side-swept bangs. This ‘do is totally wind-proof (rather, it looks good with a little wind effect) and just requires a little pomade to keep your bangs in check. Try on Rashida Jones’ hairstyle in the Makeover Studio!

Doutzen Kroes
