Relax, the busy Christmas and New Year's period is over, and you can put your feet up...and your hair too if you feel like it! After being teased, twisted, pulled and tied into all sorts of festive party styles, it may feel like your hair just needs some down - or up - time. Which of these three easy styles is your go-to, give-your-hair-a-break favorite?

Messy low bun
Model Karlie Kloss rarely gets it wrong when it comes to effortless-looking hairstyles. Take this messy chignon, for example. Gently twisted and pinned at the nape of her neck, a few sections have been pulled loose to give it a more relaxed finish.

Chic ballerina bun
Show off your cheekbones and get your hair out of the way with a sophisticated ballerina bun. It also doesn't require any styling products - apart from perhaps a quick spritz of hairspray - so your hair can stay "au naturel" for the day.

Down and relaxed
Flyaways? Frizz? Embrace them! Own your frazzled locks by letting them loose and wearing them in a long, fun sideswept style. Use your fingers to massage your roots and get more volume if necessary.
