Getting ready in the morning is sometimes a chore. By the time I get both my boys dressed and fed, I sometimes wish I could head out in my pajamas.
Even though hair styling is easier for me since I’m a hair artist, sometimes styling my own hair is not the easiest, or I’m just completely strapped for time. That’s where these easy five minute hair tutorials come into play. Study these fast and easy videos, and I guarantee these styling tricks and tips will be in your morning rotation—getting you out the door quickly. I implement at least one of these styling tricks every day for getting ready fast and extending the life of second- or third-day hair. Beauty bonus: These styles work great on Latin hair.
