9 Lazy Girl Hairstyles That Still Look Like You Tried (Even If You Didn’t)
Let’s be honest—some days, washing, blow-drying, and curling your hair feels like a full-time job. But that doesn’t mean you have to settle for a messy bun every single time. In 2025, low-effort hair is high fashion, and these lazy-girl-approved hairstyles are the go-to for looking put-together without doing much at all.
Whether you’re running late, skipping wash day, or just not in the mood, here are the Pinterest-trending hairstyles that do the most with the least.
1. The Slicked-Back Bun
The internet’s favorite clean girl style is not just polished—it’s also perfect for greasy roots and 5-minute mornings. All you need is a brush, some gel or pomade, and a hair tie.
Style Tip: Leave out two front pieces and curl them for an effortless, face-framing finish.
2. The Claw Clip French Twist
Claw clips are the MVP of lazy-day glam. Just twist your hair up and clip—it looks like you tried (but you didn’t).
Pinterest Bonus: Match the clip color to your outfit or go with gold or pearl for that luxury touch.
3. Messy Low Bun with Tendrils
It’s giving “I just woke up like this” in the best way. Pull your hair into a low, loose bun and tug out a few strands around your ears and forehead.
Perfect For: Second or third-day hair
Add-On: Scrunchie or oversized satin bow = instant cuteness
4. Half-Up Hair Claw or Tie
The easiest hairstyle with the biggest impact. Just pull the top half of your hair back, twist or tie it loosely, and let the rest flow free.
Best For: Wavy, textured, or slightly messy hair—it thrives on volume
5. Headband + Loose Waves
Don’t feel like doing anything? Pop on a cute headband and instantly look styled. It’s the fashion girl lazy hack.
Vibe: Think off-duty model at a farmer’s market
Optional: Add dry shampoo for texture and volume at the roots
6.Headband + Loose Waves
Make a basic pony feel fancy by looping it into a tuck. Tie your hair low, part it just above the elastic, and pull the tail through.
Why We Love It: Takes 30 seconds but looks Pinterest-worthy
7. Overnight Heatless Waves
Wrap your damp hair in a silk robe tie or use foam curlers before bed. Wake up, shake it out, and go.
Pro Tip: Finish with a light hair oil to tame frizz and make it look intentional.
8. Baseball Cap or Wide Brim Hat Hack
No time to do your hair? Just hide it. But make it fashion. Pull out some soft face-framing pieces and wear your hat slightly back for a softer look.
Hot Girl Hack: Style your ends with a little dry shampoo and bend them outward
9. Braided Pigtails or Bubble Braids
Cute. Quick. And very 2025. Braided pigtails or spaced-out bubble braids look playful and work on both clean and dirty hair.
Accessory Upgrade: Try mini elastics in trendy colors like mocha, sage, or blush.
Effortless, But Make It Hot
Looking good doesn’t have to mean hours in front of a mirror. With a few key accessories, some texture spray, and these go-to styles, you can fake a good hair day every day—and nobody has to know.
