I’m always guilty of overdoing it with the hair styling at the end of the year with Christmas and New Year’s (and my birthday) by January my strands are a shred of their former self. So, at the beginning of the year, I’m always looking for easy hairstyles that don’t require too much manipulation as I try to stop using high heat and pulling and tugging my hair into harsh styles. The other reason for this is that I truly cannot be bothered, I want to relax and ease into the year. For January, the mission for my tired-out locks and tired-out brain is creating the simplest styles that still look cool as ever.
I asked some top stylists their favourite easy styles and tips for overworked hair and I now have a catalogue of looks to pick from– here are my favourites.
