1. Loose Braid
If you're looking for a fast solution for keeping hair away from your face, nothing beats a classic braid! And with a loose braid, you can create an effortless workplace-ready style in just a few minutes. Start by using a texturizing spray like the SexyHair Play Dirty Dry Wax Spray to add thickness to your hair, ensuring your braid stays in place for the whole day. Then, divide the hair into three sections and cross each section over the other until reaching the ends. Secure with a hair tie, then gently pull at the sides to loosen the braid for a softer, more relaxed finish. The result is a casual yet professional style that works perfectly for the office.

2. Classic Combover
Fellas, your new favorite low-maintenance look is here! The classic combover offers a timeless balance of style and professionalism, making it an ideal choice for a low-maintenance look. Begin with damp hair and use a comb to create a clean side part. Apply a styling product like the Latitude Styling Cream as you continue to separate your hair, then complete the look with the American Crew Pomade. The perfect product for keeping your combover in place for the 9-5.
3. Ballerina Bun
For busy workdays, the ballerina bun is a polished, practical style that keeps hair secure and off the neck while maintaining a sleek appearance. To create the look, pull hair into a high ponytail and twist it around its base to form the bun. Secure with a few bobby pins, a hair tie or your favorite accessory, such as a colorful scrunchie, to add personality. Smooth back flyaways with the Solutions Glossing Multi-Task Cream as the final touch!
4. Simple Slick Back
The slick back is a quick, effective style that delivers a clean, confident look with minimal effort. Similar to the combover, begin by applying a styling cream to damp hair. Instead of parting the hair, brush it straight back, starting from the forehead and working toward the crown. Secure your look with a hairspray like the Solutions Buildable Hairspray and check out our blog on Choosing the Right Product for Men’s Hair to build your perfect product lineup!
5. Claw Clip Updo
The claw clip is a timeless accessory that combines practicality with style, making it an easy way to elevate any look. Its versatility allows for everything from a casual half-up style to a polished French twist, perfect for transitioning from the office to after-work plans. For a simple approach, twist hair upward from the nape of your neck and fold it against the head. Secure the twist by clamping the claw clip over it, secure any loose strands with a bobby pin, and the style is ready to go.
