5 quick and easy hairstyles for busy mums
And there’s not a mum bun in sight!
Ever feel like you just don’t have the time to do your hair anymore? Mama, we hear you!
The mornings are chaotic enough. From getting the kids up and dressed to preparing breakfast, packing lunch and getting ready for work yourself, it’s no surprise your go-to hair style is a quick top knot, before you rush out the door.
If you’re in need of some new hair inspo, you’re in luck. Below, we’ve compiled a list of five of the easiest and quickest hairstyles for busy mums, along with a handy product guide, from Hairhouse, to help you get the look.
Low chignon
The low bun is a handy alternative to the top-knot mum bun and one of the easiest hairstyles to pull off when you’re short on time.
It’s also perfect for greasy hair days of when you’ve just washed your hair but had no time to dry it off.
Comb your hair back and use a hair elastic to tie it into a ponytail at the nape of your neck. Twist the hair into a bun and secure with plenty of bobby pins.
What you’ll need:
- Kevin Murphy Tail Comb
- Hair elastic
- Bobby Pins
Beachy waves
Create beachy, boho waves in a hurry with a Mermade hair tong. Using extra-large barrels, the Mermade hair tool is suitable for any hair length or texture.
Simply clamp down and release for instant, big, lush, even waves. The perfect solution for mums who struggle to curl or wave their hair.
What you’ll need:
High ponytail
Perfect a polished high pony tail in minutes with this easy how-to.
Brush your hair and then slightly tease the section on top. Gather your hair into a ponytail and secure with an elastic. Use a small section of hair from the base of the ponytail to wrap around the elastic and secure with a bobby pin.
Set the look with hairspray and smooth any flyaways.

A quick salon-worthy blow dry at home
We love a product that knows how to multi-task!
Enter the Silver Bullet Genesis Hot Air Brush, which allows you to dry and style hair simultaneously.
How does it work? Wash and then towel dry and detangle hair. There are two heat settings.
Use the high heat for initial drying and then the low heat as your hair starts to dry.
Dry one section of hair at a time by winding hair gently around, or partially around the hot brush barrel. Repeat until hair is dry and desired style is achieved.
What you’ll need:
Ponytail twist
This is a cool twisted version that looks super elaborate but is actually done in seconds!
Brush out your hair and then pull it back into a ponytail, securing the hair tie away from the nape of your neck.
Above the hair tie split your hair into two sections, creating a gap. Then, lift ponytail section of your hair up and push it through the gap you’ve created above the hair tie.
Pull hair through. Ta-da!
What you’ll need:
- Kevin Murphy Smoothing Brush
- Spiral hair tie
