Yeah, I can see the look on your face. It sounds too good to be true, but it is true. And the only way to be convinced about it is to actually experience it yourself. On that note, here are some different ways to do hair as part of some cool haircut styles and ideas for both men and women.

Casual Ways to Do Hair
Here we will have a look at some easy ways to do hair, including a few quick-fix solutions.

Curls in Five Minutes
A great teen hairstyle, girls can make good use of this five minute hairdo. After shampooing and conditioning your hair, towel dry it while leaving it slightly damp. Rub a good amount of volume mousse or scrunching gel on your palms and apply it evenly throughout your hair, along the length. Now using your hands, scrunch your hair and hold it in place for half a minute. After releasing it, spray on some hair spray or a similar hair care product for that extra bit of gloss, shine, hold and bounce.

Lazy Sunday Look
When all you want to do on a Sunday is sit back and relax, this is a great two-minute hairdo which will suit you to a tee. Run a wide-toothed comb along the length of your hair, and gently brush it to remove any tangles. Now, simply tie it back in a ponytail. If it's a particularly hot and humid day, you would be better off with a high ponytail as it will prevent the back of your neck from getting all hot and sweaty. You could think of accessorizing your look by using a fashionable cap or some fancy hair accessories.

The Casual Unkempt Look
This is a great look for guys with medium length hair. Wash you hair with a mild shampoo and condition it using less-than-normal amount of hair conditioner. Pat it dry using a soft towel. While it is still damp, mess it around using your fingers to set it in a floppy, unkempt manner. A cool and casual look for a sunny Saturday indeed!

Soft Spikes
Another hairstyling option that is suitable for guys with short hair, this involves working your hair with your fingertips to achieve a soft spiked look. You can use a bit of styling gel or hair wax to give your hair a little bit of hold. If your hair is blonde, you could leave it as it is, whereas people with black hair could consider spraying a little amount of hair spray to give it a bit of shine.

Traditional Braided Look
Braid hairstyles have always been in vogue. It barely takes ten minutes to get it done and a neat, smart braid can surely make a few heads turn! You could think of a single braid, a French braid, or twin braids (another cool way to do hair).

Good Old Bun
This one is your friend for all occasions. If you're having an absolutely horrible hair day, then look no further. This is your emergency backup. Simply brush your hair and roll it up into a classic bun. It does a twin job by hiding the traces of a bad hair day and at the same time, making you look smart and chic.

These were some fast ways to do hair in situations where you find yourself extremely short of time and yet, in a desperate need to wear your hair differently. Don't be afraid to experiment. Remember, confidence is the key to pulling off any hairstyle or hairdo.
