The 15 best zero-effort hairstyles


Jessica Alba


No matter how frenzied the fall mornings get—and we know they're pretty darn crazy—you'll roll out of bed looking gorgeous with these quick, easy-to-create 'dos.

Create gentle waves just like you did in high school by working in a little styling cream and loosely braiding hair before you go to bed. In the morning, comb through with your fingers while brewing your coffee.

Tired of topknots? A low side bun is just as easy to pull together with a single rubber band. If you've got an extra minute, boost the texture by braiding a small section of hair, wrapping it around the base of the bun, and securing with bobby pins.


Tina Fey

                                                                     

A simple layered cut looks nice without a lot of adornment. "Low-maintenance style starts with a great haircut," says Mary Jane Demirjian, master stylist at Roberts Salon & Spa in Belmont, MA. "Your cut should fall nicely before the blowout. You want your stylist to follow the natural fall of the hair or curl as she cuts and blend in any problem areas, such a funny cowlicks or strands curling outward."


Michelle Williams

                                                                                
                  

An edgy cut, like Williams's pixie with side-swept bangs, doesn't need any extra styling. Keep in mind, though, that a short 'do requires less day-to-day maintenance but more frequent trims than long hair—you'll need to visit a salon about once a month rather than every six to eight weeks. "If you have a strong cowlick and a busy schedule preventing you from squeezing in regular trims, I would suggest staying away from bangs as well," adds Julianne Bryce, a stylist for George the Salon in Chicago.



Kristen Bell

                                                                 
                                                                             

Fine hair can look great if you blow it out at home every few days. "High-quality, nourishing products help plump up strands and lock in style," says Demirjian. "I love Kérastase Forme Fatale gel ($35), which should be put in before blow-drying for a long-lasting style."

Sandra Bullock

                                                               

Whether she's premiering a movie or taking her son Louis to school, Sandra always looks pretty without trying too hard. Case in point: this 'do with the top section secured with a barrette.

Nicole Kidman

                                                                   

A pretty headband can hide any number of hair sins: frizz, growing-out roots, weird-falling waves. This season, space-age metallics, like Nicole's gold band, are especially popular.


Rachael Leigh Cook

                                                    

An undone side braid is the safe-for-work version of the sexy disheveled look.


Anne Heche

                                               

A loose, messy chignon is easy to create with a single hairpin, like the Goody version you can find at drugstores. Just twist hair into place, insert the pin going upward, then twist it downward and secure in place.


Katie Holmes

                                            

A low pony slung over one shoulder keeps hair in place while you're running all over town, but feels more put-together than the high/middle updo you wear to the gym.

Michelle Rodriguez

                                                                             

"I've noticed that a beautiful classic ponytail is underutilized lately," says Bryce. Mix up your daily look with a mid-height pony—they're a little bit perky, but still polished enough for the office.


Mayim Bialik

                                    

A sparkling barrette pinned to one side brings a little interest to the long-and-layered look—without taking away from morning snooze time. "For a low-maintenance haircut, stick with a classic shape," advises Bryce. "Keeping layering longer and steering clear of creative, asymmetric shapes will help cut down styling time."
