Ladies on the go know that in a fast-paced world, simple hair hacks and 5-minute hairstyles are everything, especially ones that solve pesky problems like getting your hair out of your face. Between racing to the office, sweating your stuff at the gym, and knocking out your to-do list, keeping your layers, bangs, or loose ends at bay often falls by the wayside (*pauses, brushes hair out of eyes, keeps typing*). Here’s where those hair hacks come into play. We’ve found the best super easy, mega pretty ‘dos that will keep those strands out of your face for good. Scroll through for the low-maintenance looks to start DIYing now. Hair accessories encouraged.
Center Parted + Pinned
Part your hair in the middle, twist the front sections away from your face and pin in place for an instant chic look that will never go out of style. (via Bethany Marie Photography)
Runway-Ready Hair Scarves
Perfect for girls with long, same-length strands, this style upgrades a regular pony for a higher-end look without being difficult or taking up too much time.
Slick Low Pony
Emilia Clarke can rock just about any hairstyle, including a slicked-back ponytail. You can leave a face-framing piece like she does or pull everything back. Either way, this is one classy hairstyle that looks good with a tee shirt and a dress. (via Brit + Co)
A New Take On An Old Classic
Slick back your hair with some gel or hairspray and secure it with bobby pins over your ears. To achieve the 60s bump at the crown of your head, add some of that hairspray and tease just a little bit!

Do The Twist
Pull your hair back with rope braids to add dimension to your look. You can braid all the way to the ends of your hair or keep this look half-up, half-down.

Slicked Back
Part your hair on the side and clip back one (or both) sections of hair out of your face. You can pull them back equally or leave one side looser for an asymmetrical look.
Bang Bang
This one’s a piece of cake! To quickly and beautifully get your hair out of your way, sweep it to the side, grab a colorful bobby pin or two and you’re ready to go. (via The Beauty Department)
A Y2K Bun
The next time you need to throw your hair back, use a scrunchie, ponytail holder, or clip. The messier, the better.
Mini French Twist
When your bangs are driving you crazy, use this quick braiding trick to look pulled together in no time. Accessorizing with a sparkly hair pin makes it ultra glam. (via Elle)
Braided Pony
When you braid your hair, instead of braiding all the way to the tips of your hair, secure it with elastics at the nape of your neck for a two-in-one style.

Buns and Flowers
Accessorize a romantic bun with a hair clip full of flowers. You'll be able to keep your hair out of your face and get a little glimpse of spring at the same time.
