Trying not to touch your face is hard. Experts say that the average person touches their face as frequently as 23 times per hour. That’s 23 times to potentially introduce unwelcome germs into your body. And if you're like me, you probably don’t notice touching your face at all, making it a difficult habit to break. By being mindful of this habit, I’ve been breaking it with practice. I've found one of the main reasons I touch my face is to brush my hair away or to scratch when my hair is tickling my skin. And while our hair comes in contact with germy surfaces far less than our hands, I would imagine that it would be better if it didn’t touch our faces either for the time being. So I have been finding creative ways to (easily) keep my hair pulled back and out of the way. I have gathered some of my favourite "pulled-back hairstyles" that take minimal effort, but still keep me FaceTime ready. I recognize that many people are unable to fully isolate and are still working hard outside of their homes each day. If this sounds familiar to you, easy pulled-back styles are needed now more than ever. Managing a household while getting through the work days has never been more challenging in many cases. Fast, functional fashion isn't just nice-to-have, it’s a necessity! |
Tying back longer hair easily doesn’t have to mean a basic ponytail, or even a messy bun. (Not that I am hating on either option – they are both perfectly acceptable and cute!) But there are lots of other options that are just as quick and easy. And with salons having been closed for a while now, your short hair cut might just be starting to grow out to that painful length where bangs are starting to get in your eyes, and layers are becoming unmanageable. Let’s chat about how to keep those locks out of your face while still looking chic and feeling comfy! |
This twist is a perfect hairstyle for second or third day hair. The texture helps give it grip and hold!
|
Wear half up, or use this head band as the start of a cool updo!
Spray lightly with hairspray, remembering to touch on the little pieces to hold them in place. |

Braided by @mach4beauty
Braids of any kind are a great way to tuck all those little loose ends back and they're also super cute. The best part? You can rock just one, or multiple, whatever you're feeling! If you find your hair is hard to work with, try giving it a bit of grit and texture with a spritz of Puff.ME texture powder. |

This braid is SUPER easy! Try this tutorial from Chatters Award-winning Stylist Angie Hunt (@angie_hunt_)! If you can tie your shoe, you can do THIS braid!!! It is only two strands tied together in a knot, again and again! Pick up a section from either side and tie tight on wet or dry hair. If you decide that the right side is crossed over the left, keep that consistency. Continue the knot braid by knotting until you reach the end of the hair and then secure it with an elastic. Pin in place with crisscrossed bobby pins on the ends. Finish this style off with Unite Second Day – use this on dry hair as it works great for updos. Bonus tip: use an old, clean toothbrush to calm flyaways. Before creating the braid, Angie used Unite Lazer Straight Shampoo & Conditioner. Why? It gives weightless shine, is colour safe and tames frizz. Then she worked Unite U Oil through the damp strands to reduce blow drying time, extend colour life and provide thermal protection. |

Get creative and use braids to jazz up a ponytail or bun! They are a great way to keep finer, shorter hairs around your face tied back. |
Keep shorter styles from falling into your eyes with pomade or paste. This dry shampoo paste from Redken works as a styler with oil absorption to make 2nd and 3rd day hair look fresh with easy, undone texture. Just work the product in with your hands, scrunching and concentrating on the roots. For extra hold spritz with hairspray lightly. |
For bangs that don't tuck behind your ears, or aren't quite long enough to put up into a half-up style, accessorize! Bobby pins, clips, headbands and hair scarves are all your friend! Here are some fun ways to keep bangs pulled back and out of the way. |
A headband is a quick fix for unruly bangs.
Clips keep bangs up and out of the way!
Easy and chic, just a quick clip and off you go!
And sometimes all you need is a simple bobby!
Or, twist your strands around a hair scarf. Try the KB Collection scrunchie scarves for an accessory that multi-tasks!
While these hairstyles won't keep you from biting your fingernails, rubbing your eyes, or leaning on your hand, hopefully they will help by keeping your hair pulled back and out of the way. Remember to keep your hands clean and practise, practise, practise not touching your face until it becomes a new habit.
Stay safe, stay healthy and stay kind.
