Celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin is responsible for the tresses of the entire Kardashian family — and you know those ladies never have a wave out of place. But as it turns out, when it comes to her own hair, she's less ultra-glam Kim Kardashian and more easy, breezy Kendall Jenner.
"I’m all about low-maintenance hair," Atkin exclusively tells Us Weekly. "I love [styles] that save time and still look super chic."

Her favorite? One that involves nothing but duckbill clips and a spritz of product. "After I get out of the shower, I’ll mist my hair with a sea salt spray, then push the hair up and place duckbill clips through the length of my hair," Atkin shares.
In the meantime, she says, "I’ll get ready, do my makeup, and answer emails. If I'm in a hurry, I'll run my blow-dryer over my hair, then take the clips out and scrunch for the perfect beach wave. And if I have time, I’ll curl just a couple pieces around my face with my Harry Josh Pro Tools 2-in-1 Ceramic Curling Iron."
Want another #BusyGirlHack? Atkin, who also works with Chrissy Teigen and Jessica Biel, has a trick to styling hair while working out. "When I’m heading to the gym, I’ll put a deep conditioner or coconut oil through my ends, then braid my hair or put it in a bun," she says. "The heat from working out lets the oils soak in fully. All I have to do is rinse and I'm done!"
And last but not least, she has a style for all the jet-setting, long-haired ladies (and Star Wars obsessives) out there. "When I had long hair and would fly, I’d split my hair into two sections down the middle and gather each behind my ears, twist them away from my face, and pin them into Princess Leia buns, leaving the ends out and straight," she tells Us. "When I would land, I'd take the pins out and be left with nice, loose waves."
