Chic Comb-Over
Never underestimate the power of your part. It'll be tough to pull off a zigzag part at the office but a deep side one will work. It brings new life to a tried-and-true low ponytail.

Tousled Texture
We see you, short-haired ladies. Stop batting humidity and flatirons on rushed mornings. If you have a natural wave, enhance it with a texturizing product, like Rahua Freestyle Texturizer, $34. The key to keeping it appropriate for work is that hair remains softly tousled as opposed to had-a-dip-in-the-ocean crispy.

Twist and Loop
Unsure of what's appropriate for work and what's not? Retro-tinged updos are a fail-safe style because they tend to have a formal finish. Just keep proportions in check and go easy on the hairspray. Shellacked hair isn't the goal.

Sleek Ponytail
Got straight hair? Prevent face grease from making hair look overly slick with a center-parted low ponytail. This easy ponytail is a good option for those who can't battle humidity but can't quite quit their straighteners.

Center Part Updo
One common summer beauty philosophy is to keep it simple. Save the YouTube tutorials and multiple styling tools for the weekend and ensure you get to work on time by parting hair down the center and knotting it into the look of your choice. It's quick, effortless and chic.
