Simple Hairstyles for the Office

Prioritising whether to make the perfect cup of coffee before work or putting together a great hairstyle is a no-brainer. For the majority, coffee always wins. But after downing your fresh brew, you reverse from the driveway immediately regretting your choice. After catching yourself in the rear-view mirror, the horror sets in – your hair looks like Britney Spears post meltdown, and with an all-important client meeting only half an hour away all hope seems lost. Instead of getting your hair all-tied-up-in-a-knot, there are some life-saving quick fixes that can transform your hair from drab to fab in a matter of minutes. Below you’ll find some helpful tip to get your tresses office ready in a flash.

The Chignon

Suited for women with medium to long hair, this hairstyle is known for its timeless and professional appeal. The chignon is a dependable bun hairdo that’s easy to put together and can be worn in a variety of ways. To achieve this look, apply a small amount of gel through your hair to give that sleek, shiny effect. After this, part your hair and brush it away from your face. Using bobby pins, securely bind the ponytail into a bun behind your neck. It’s as easy as that. Your workmates will be surprised to learn that you pulled this off in a few minutes!

For Women with Short to Medium Hair

In some professional environments, it’s required that hair is pulled away from the eyes and face when meeting with clients. For women with really short hair, don’t be afraid to use a bit of product to spike your hair. This is an efficient and easy haircut for the workplace. Handy hint: To keep your hairstyle looking sharp, always have a brush, a can of hairspray and a set of bobby pins on standby.

The Classic Men’s Haircut for the Office

Men have it so easy when it comes to hairstyling. And although it may seem like buzz-cuts are on-trend every season, men actually have more styling options than ever before. A smart and versatile office look for men is none other than the classic Mad Men haircut. Ideal for men with short yet straight hair, the Don Draper do can be easily sported even if you have a receding hairline. While your hair is still quite wet, take your selected product – gel or wax - and run this through your hair. Using a comb, create a part on the left side of your head and comb the rest of your hair over. If you’re looking to add more suave points, create a small wave at the front of your hair. Don Draper is that you?
