No Mirror, No Cry. These 4 Hairstyles Will Give You No Problem

This is a strange conundrum that you may never expect to be in but suddenly, you're there. You've woken up far too late to go through your usual routine and by the time you've landed in the backseat of a cab 20 minutes later with a smear of lipstick, you realise your hair isn't done. It's a messy mop of bed head that needs attention, and quickly. Unlike makeup, your hair needs both hands so it isn't possible to hold a mirror in one. Even the rear view mirror is of no help in times like these. These 4 hairstyles can be. As they are straight-forward and rely on the feel of your fingers, you'll be able to pull them off entirely without a mirror.

1. Side Braid

A braid is one of the most reliable hairstyles that exists and is ideal for situations like these. Sweep all your hair to one side of your head, use your fingers to remove bumps in the base of the hair and plait it in a simple three strand until the end.

2. Rolled Bun

It may sound like something that comes out of a bakery but it's actually a hairstyle that can save even the worst hair days. Use both hands to hold the hair length at the top of the head and tightly roll it until the end. Once rolled, wrap it into a bun and tightly pin the end on the inner portion of the hair.

3. Chignon Twist

If the occasion demands, you can even pull off a formal hairstyle without a mirror. Hold the length of your hair in one hand and use your other hand to smoothen the strands. Then twist the length of your hair at the base of your crown, pin it in place and let the ends lie loosely.

4. High Ponytail

You've surely done this hairstyle so many times that you don't even need a mirror for it. Gather all your hair in one hand and use the other hand to smoothen out the tresses. Use the same hand to loosen a scrunchie and tightly tie it around the base of the hair.

So the next time you find yourself in a fix that doesn't include a mirror, try these 'dos.
