30 Last-Minute Hairstyles for Zoom Calls (2025 Edition)
1. The Messy Bun
There’s a reason the messy bun is a cult favorite. It’s quick, it’s cute, and it works for everything from morning meetings to evening catch-ups. Simply gather your hair into a high ponytail, twist it loosely, and secure it with a scrunchie. Pull a few strands loose around your face for that effortlessly casual vibe.
Not only is it one of the easiest hairstyles for Zoom calls, but it also hides frizz and second-day hair like a pro. The best part? You don’t need to be precise—the messier, the better!
2. Classic Low Ponytail
The low ponytail is sleek, simple, and professional. With just a quick brush-through and a little hair serum to tame flyaways, you’ll look instantly polished. For added finesse, part your hair cleanly in the center or to the side before tying it back.
This style is especially great for showcasing statement earrings or a sharp blouse. It works beautifully on straight, wavy, or lightly textured hair.
3. Top Knot Twist
A top knot twist offers the elegance of an updo without the effort. Twist your hair into a tight coil at the crown of your head and pin it in place. You can smooth down the sides for a sleeker appearance or pull out strands for a more relaxed look.
This is a go-to if you need to keep your hair out of your face while still looking stylish on camera.
4. Side Braid
The side braid is charming and simple. It frames your face and adds a bit of texture, even if you haven’t washed your hair. Just pull your hair to one side, divide it into three sections, and braid it loosely. Secure with a small elastic.
Add a few accessories like a barrette or ribbon if you want to dress it up for a special Zoom occasion.
5. Sleek Straight Look
Sometimes, all you need is a flat iron and five minutes. Straightening the front strands of your hair can create a neat, tidy look even if the back is undone. Use a bit of serum or a smoothing cream to boost shine and reduce frizz.
This is perfect for formal calls where a polished look is required but time is short.
6. The French Twist Hack
Don’t have time for a real French twist? No problem. Just roll your hair up and secure it with bobby pins in a vertical line at the back of your head. Let a few tendrils fall around your face for a softer feel.
This elegant look is ideal for virtual interviews or presentations.
7. Half-Up Half-Down Clip Style
This versatile style gives you the best of both worlds. Pull the top half of your hair into a clip or small ponytail, leaving the rest loose. This keeps hair away from your eyes while adding volume.
Use a claw clip or an embellished barrette to elevate the look.
8. Headband Tuck
A lifesaver for greasy or unruly hair, the headband tuck is fast and forgiving. Slip on a stretchy headband, roll the length of your hair into it, and tuck. Voila!
This style gives a vintage, romantic feel and works especially well with medium-length hair.
9. Twisted Crown
This style may look fancy, but it’s actually super simple. Twist a small section of hair from each side of your face and pin them together at the back. It forms a crown-like effect that’s ideal for softening strong facial features.
The twisted crown is perfect for curly or thick hair that needs taming.
10. Quick Curl Revamp
No time to curl your entire head? No problem. Just focus on the front sections that frame your face. Use a curling wand or flat iron to create a few loose waves, and you’re Zoom-ready in minutes.
Finish with a light mist of hairspray to hold the shape.
11. Side Swept Bangs with a Clip

13. Claw Clip French Roll
Revive this ’90s trend with a modern twist. Twist your hair and secure it with a claw clip vertically. It looks stylish from the side and works especially well for thick or layered hair.
Choose a neutral-toned clip for a chic, understated finish.
