Marie Claire Magazine shares how to do less with your hair but look better:
1.SHAMPOO JUST YOUR SCALP. Save time in the shower by skipping the super-suds routine, says Louise O'Connor, owner of OC61 Salon in New York City. Just apply a dime size amount of shampoo to your scalp, quickly massage, then rinse. The water will pull the shampoo through the rest of your hair and remove any grime.
2. LEAVE IN A LITTLE CONDITIONER. If your hair is frizzy or dry, don't bother rinsing out every last bit of your conditioner or mask. Leaving a light coat will weigh down the cuticle, says O'Connor, so you can skip strand-smoothing styling producs later.
3. DRY ONLY YOUR TROUBLE SPOTS. Rather than taking 15 (or more) minutes to blowdry your whole head, limit drying to just bangs, cowlicks, and other spots that won't lie right without a blast of hot air.
4. SKIP THE DRYER; STILL GET SWING. To create volume, spritz a lightweight styler over damp hair, then slide your snglasses on, head-band style before heading out the door. As your hair dries, you'll get lift in the front and on top.
5. SCORE SLEEK HAIR MINUS AN IRON. Douse damp hair with conditioning 
spray, then slip on the tight-fitting knit hat. Leave on for at least 15 minutes shile you do your makeup, get dressed, or sleep. Remove to reveal amazingly frizz-free hair. Try L'Oreal Professionnel Volume Extreme Conditioning Spray (right)
6. LIGHTEN UP ON THE LAYERS. Unlike heavily layered 'dos, close-to-one-length hairstyles require fewer trips to the salon, says Kevin Lee, creative director of the Kenneth Salon in New York City. They also let you fret less about styling, since you won't have to contend with any wayward layers.
7. APPEAR "DONE" WITH CUTE CLIPS. Keep a cute clip on hand for occasions 
when you have to look pulled together fast. Tease the top of your hair, then use the clip to secure the rest in a messy knot. Try Colette Malouf clip left.
