The half bun is definitely the trend hairstyle of the year - and not just among hipsters. It's also super easy and can be done in no time.

Simply separate the top section of hair and tie it into a small bun. This can look messy and, depending on what you like better, can be tied at the top of the head or very low. You can now fix the mini bun with a few hairpins so that it stays in place.

2. We've got the hang of it: The spiral

The spiral is the perfect hairstyle for those for whom things can't go fast enough in the morning. And in combination with cool statement earrings, the spiral looks incredibly chic. Simply comb your hair back and tie a low ponytail at the back of your head. Then twist the braid in, fold it in the middle and let it twist. You can pin the ends with hairpins. Complete!

3. Absolute eye-catcher: The Loop

This hairstyle definitely makes an impression – but it can be done in just a few minutes. Tie your guard hair into two pigtails at the back of your head. Then use a hair loop or your fingers to pull through each braid, always pulling the top one through with the bottom one.

The whole thing can also be done with just one braid or even with three braids. If you like, you can also tie the entire hair into a braid. The loop looks particularly cool when you pull out individual strands to create the typical messy look.

4. Quick and easy: The messy bun

Your hair is all over the place in the morning and no time for elaborate styling? Then simply tie your hair into a loose messy bun. The tousled bun is back in style, just pull out a few individual strands for the perfect sofa look. Style factor = 10, effort = 0!

5. Let it hang: The loose braid

6. Bring on the hair ties: the bubble braid

The classic among late riser hairstyles is definitely the ponytail. For all those who find the braid too boring, now comes the bubble braid! Very easy to style and the perfect hairstyle for staying in bed for a few minutes longer in the morning.

Simply tie your hair into a braid and “interrupt” it with hair ties. You can tie a high or low braid, a side look also looks great. The arrangement and number of hair ties is also completely up to you.
