For many of us, it’s been a few weeks since social distancing laws went into effect and we switched to online learning.

While working from home can definitely allow for a more laid-back, comfy lifestyle, sometimes putting some time into getting yourself ready for the day can have a big effect on your mental health. It’s also just really fun to try out new looks!

With Zoom lectures and Skype meetings becoming the new norm, a great way to change up your look is by trying out new hairstyles.

Read on for a week’s worth of fun hairstyle ideas to practice while you social distance!

Monday: French Braid

Start your week with a simple, straightforward style! (See tutorial on Cosmo’s website if you’re unfamiliar.)

This hairstyle is one that you probably learned to do in middle school — and now’s the time to resurrect it. Even on a Monday morning, a French braid is simple enough to do in 10-15 minutes.

Tuesday: Fabric Maiden Braids

You may have seen “maiden braid” tutorials before; a braid wrapped around the head. However, this tutorial from A Beautiful Mess incorporates a patterned scarf!

Wouldn’t this be a cute way to show up to your online class or hold your hair back while you try baking something?

This hairstyle idea can be a little more difficult than a basic braid because it must be attached to the head. But trust me, with a little practice it’s easier than it looks!

Wednesday: FroHawk

This hairstyle idea from All Things Hair is bold and a great way to make a statement, especially if you are rocking natural hair.

The great thing about this hairstyle idea is that you don’t have to shave part of your head. Instead, you’ll create this hairstyle using multiple hair elastics.
