7. Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy Teigen definitely doesn’t have time to deal with fussy hair days when she has a little one on board! The star opted for a sleek boxer-braid inspired look that transitioned into a structured ponytail at the back. To achieve the look Teigen french-braid both sides of her head then looped the braids into a ponytail at the nape of her neck. From there, she tied a few elastic bands around the length of the hair to create a “structured” look and to hold all the loose hairs away from her face. A look like this is definitely perfect for second day hair or days when it’s too hot to leave your hair flouncing around your face.
