We all know that when you are vacation, the last thing you want to do is take the time to go through your normal hair regime. You want to focus on the people that you’re with and definitely on the memories that you are making! But you still want to look good!

Washing, blow drying, curling. Oh my!!

I’d like to share with you a couple tips and tricks to keep your hair looking fantastic! What’s great is you can use them any day you might not have time to focus on your hair.

#1 Time Saving Curls

It always takes me such a long time to curl my hair and get a great voluminous look. I often times don’t have enough time or am just down right too lazy to stand with my hot curling iron - sweating over getting the perfect curl. If any of you relate, this style trick is for you!

Step 1: Pull all of your hair up into a high pony tail

Step 2: Curl the ends of your pony tail

Step 3: Carefully take the pony tail holder out of your hair. Fix any curls that need some more curling.

#2 Braids Galore!

Depending on how greasy my hair is, and how much time I want to spend on my hair, I will put braids in it! This is a fun simple way to enhance any look and make you look stylish and trendy.

#3 Dry Shampoo is Your Friend

Dry shampoo isn’t just for soaking up any unwanted grease, but it can also be used as a texturizer, volumizer and thickener! Dry shampoo can be any girls best friend!

Any style that you have can be fixed up with dry shampoo. I have a few favorite brands.

There is no shame in putting your hair up in a messy bun! There are a bunch of very sophisticated looks that can be incorporated into a messy bun kinda look.

#5 The Bandanna Cover-Up
