Feeling uninspired by your hair? We all have that easy go-to hairstyle we’re used to. But once in a while, a fresh hairstyle can give us the confidence boost we need! No big chop or salon visit required.
These 7 simple, stylish hairstyles can be worn in your day-to-day life, or your next special occasion. Whether it’s finding a new favorite accessory to play with or trying a timeless look, these ‘dos are sure to make you feel confident and beautiful wherever you go.
Classic Claw Clip Updo
This easy trick from @goodhaircarrie just requires 1 large claw clip and a ponytail. Try our favorite clips from Supercrush, and find what size will work best for your hair type. @goodhaircarrie calls this a ‘summer hairstyle hack’ but you can wear it all year round.

Headband Scarf
Scarves are a versatile and expressive accessory, allowing you to add a touch of personal flair and style to any outfit. @confessionsofasuperager is wearing a scarf from Gucci, but you can find a favorite non-designer fabric or go vintage. Wrap the scarf from behind your neck, loop the ends around each other at the front of your forehead, then tie or secure with an elastic at the nape of your neck. It’s as easy as that!

Braided Top Knot
This classic bun can be elevated with a braided knot and slicked hair. Try a pomade like this Ouai product to get a matte, smooth look with no flyaways, or Tracee Ellis Ross’ Pattern gel for curly hair!

Classic Barrette Clip
Barrettes can be a fun and elegant accessory to add to your look. Proving that a good hairstyle doesn’t have to be complicated––just try two matching clips to bring your hair back for a simple half-up, half-down look. Check out Target or a local boutique for modern, fun options to get you started!

Handkerchief Headscarf
Add a handkerchief to the mix for a fun and timeless look. This is a great accessory to have on hand when you are in between hair washes, just need to pull your hair back, or add a little color to your outfit.

Bonus (For When You’re Short on Time)
We all have days when we’re unmotivated or don’t have the time for a full hairstyle. We recommend accessorizing with a hat! Try a baseball hat, beanie, or a bucket hat like fashion influencer @greceghanem.
