Winter’s morning ritual:

Wake up to alarm.
Notice sleet and snow outside.
Snooze for 45 minutes.
Realize I have 5 minutes to get ready.
Request Uber. “Just this one last time.”
Throw hair in a messy bun and dash out the door.

Giant surprise, but this routine isn’t really working for me. To the rescue? ELLE’s collection of five hairstyles that work best on dirty hair. (I will consider it my hair bible from this day forward.) From the pin-backed braid to the messy pony, this girl’s locks are about to get a major upgrade.

Check out the five styles on ELLE.
