I have super thick hair, so if I don't straighten it I have to pull it out of my face. Here is what I did today:

Holy huge pic... sorry!
@roxy821: I shouldn't complain about it being so thick, but in order to get my hair to look really good I have to:
Sooo basically unless I'm going out with FI on a hot date or having girls night out, my shit ends up in a pony tail by the end of the day! Too bad I'm growing it out for the wedding too, so it's longer than it's been in years so I just get frustrated with it all the time.
I love this hairstyle. its so easy and takes all of 5 minutes - shower and let it air dry a little bit and while its still damp put your hair up at night, sleep it in take it out the next morning and makes for pretty curls
here is the link http://thepapermama.com/2011/07/hair-tutorial-no-heat-curl-html.html

I like playing around with different things like french braiding across the front (bangs if you got em), or making a side part and using cute clips or bobby pins to pull the front pieces to each side, then throwing it back in a ponytail or messy bun. There's always the front poof too. Those things don't take too long but they can make your hairstyle look different each day.
@totheislnds: I think I might have to try this! It looks simple enough.
99% of the time I throw my hair into a ponytail because I can't be bothered to deal with it. The other 1% I leave it down, I don't blow dry it either, I crank the heat in the car on the way to work so it's dry by the time I get there!
@totheislnds- She has some other cute hair styles too. Thanks!
@MissBoPeep- You sound exactly like me. But I want to feel pretty lol
@roxy821: I know what you mean! I always have the best of intentions... and then I get up in the morning, and as I'm stumbling around in the dark go "Uggggh. I don't wanna do my hairrrr." *gaint pouty face* I'm just not a morning person.... like at all.
I have uber curly hair and believe me, it limits one's choices. The best I can do is put it in a pony tail. My daughter (when she was still alive) could French braid my hair but I can't do it.
A friend of mine shared this link with me - a "two minute updo for work."

So far, I haven't had much success, but my hair is fairly long and VERY thick, so I think it's just not meant for my hair type.
@Gemstone: It'd take me a heck of a lot longer than 2 minutes to even just prep my hair for that 2-minute updo. LOL
@BayStateBride: Haha! I felt the same way. The first time I tried it, it took me 20 minutes to get it to stay. I think you need a specific hair type for that one, but I have to admit that it looks great!
@Gemstone- That totally worked and looked good with my hair. Yes I have a mirror in my office and tried it.
I need to collect videos like this lol!
Well I just rolled my hair up with a head band to try out the no heat curl! Hope it works! :)
I tried Gemstone's idea and it really only took 2 mins and I am getting compliments.
@MissBoPeep- Hope it your hair worked for you
@roxy821: I'll have to try that one on monday. When I took my hair down this morning it was curly, but they didn't even last through the 30 minute drive to work, my hair's completely straight again! Oh well, at least I can say I tried today! :)
@MissBoPeep- So it didn't work out my hair doesn't hold a curl either, but hopefully it at least added more volume.
@roxy821: It added a little bit of volume for me, but not much. I might try it again with hair gel in, and try leaving it in for a few more hours next time. My hair is next to impossible to curl!
@totheislnds: Thanks for sharing!
I'm pretty clueless at doing my own hair...

Ok, I do not know how I have made it to 26 without really knowing how to do my hair. I can blow dry it and put it in a ponytail but that is this extent of it
What is your favorite easy hairstyle? Any hair styles to do in under 5 minutes (not including blowdrying time)?
I have thin shoulder length hair and I would love to see some fun ideas.
