3 Minute Hairstyles For Every Length

February 14, 2024 (updated April 9, 2024) — Written by

What do claw clips, headbands and bows all have in common? Besides the fact that they are having a mo-MENT, they are all catalysts for easy, cute, chic and quick hairstyles. It’s no wonder they’ve recently blown up—because what a girl wants, what a girl needs, is cute hair 25-8. So in that vein, we’ve rounded up some of the easiest hairstyles (A.K.A. hairstyles you can do in 3 minutes or less) for short, medium and long hair.

We’ve all been there. Whether it’s to extend hair by one more day before washing or just to do something different—we want quick, easy hairstyles that are actually doable (and cute). Is that too much to ask? I say NO! 

But let’s hone in on that request with “doable” being the operative word. I’ve tried to follow some online “easy” hairstyles and I’m lost after the second move like, “Can y’all slow down?!”

So in the name of all things easy, we’ve compiled some of the chicest hairstyles (for all hair lengths) that anyone can do in less than three minutes. All these options have been vetted by yours truly (👋Hey! It’s me, Lisa. Gray hair blogger and clean beauty aficionado). Enjoy!
