It's summertime and the living should be easy, right? That same state of mind should apply to your hair.

Being a beauty junkie, I find this season refreshing. It's the time of the year I keep my beauty routine simple and find new ways to minimize the time it takes to get ready.

My makeup? Bare minimum. My hairstyle? Done in under a minute. Yes, you read that right — a full hairstyle in less than one minute flat. But that doesn't mean I walk out the door with a wet head (although, I have been guilty of that). There are ways to try on-trend styles without spending a ton of time on it. Here are three of my go-to looks this summer.

Flower braid

1. Twist a section of hair from each side of your head, bringing it backward and then tie together.

2. Take a section of hair underneath the elastic and braid.

3. Combine the two and wrap around in a circle until it forms a flower shape.

4. Use bobby pins to secure in place.

Princess roll

1. Put an elastic headband around the crown of your head (even better if it matches your hair color!).
