Low-effort haircare products to keep on your work desk

When your day is packed with meetings and endless to-do lists, your hair can start to feel just as frazzled as you do, but haircare is usually the first thing to fall by the wayside. But keeping a few low effort essentials right at your fingertips on your desk can make all the difference, giving you the opportunity to refresh without stepping away from your flow.

Here are some desk friendly haircare heroes that we love keeping close, things to reach for between calls or during a screen break, to keep your hair on point and looking its best.

A lightweight hair oil or serum

Just a few drops of a lush oil can instantly revive those dry strands and smooth flyaway hairs without weighing the hair down or leaving it feeling greasy.

These compact bottles are ideal for keeping on your desk, are travel friendly and perfect for applying sparingly throughout the day, whenever your hair is feeling a little dry.

A wide-tooth comb or gentle detangling brush

Choose a desk friendly comb or brush that can help to reset your hair without disrupting it.

Wide tooth combs and gentle detangling brushes are kind to the hair and can help to smooth your hair back in place after wearing headphones, scarves or coats.

A scalp or hair refresh mist

Scalp and hair mists are designed to refresh the scalp, helping your hair to feel clean and revived in a pinch between washes.

Here are some subtle, non-aerosol mists that are ideal for a midday reset without overpowering your space. Perfect for those long workdays or if you’re planning on heading out for the night after a workday. Avoid things like strong hairsprays at your desk, particularly if you’re not working from home.

You can also use a dry shampoo to help refresh the roots and add texture and volume.

Soft, hair-friendly ties or clips

Soft ties and smooth clips can help you to quickly change your hairstyle without snagging or pulling. Perfect for when you want to pull your hair up during focused work, then releasing it again without damage. We’re not the only ones who do that, right? Keep these gentle accessories on your desk to support low effort styling and reduce unnecessary stress on the hair.

Hair perfume

Love a gorgeous scent? A hair perfume is a softer alternative to traditional fragrance, lightly scenting the hair without overwhelming it. One or two spritzes can help refresh the hair, whilst feeling appropriate for a work setting.

Keeping a few thoughtful, desk-friendly haircare essentials close can be a comfort and a confidence boost on those busy workdays. What do you keep on your desk?
