Models are, unmistakably, a certain breed of human. Even to the untrained eye, you can spot one at 20 paces, a bag large and rectangular enough to house her book and often with hair that's so thick and shiny it makes us want to snip a quick lock for prosperity. 

But we can see why. A model's hair is part of her livelihood. Like a pianist might insure their hands, so models rely on their locks to step up to the plate for every single show and shoot. They bulk buy Viviscal to see them through the bi-annual schedule of intensive blow drys, braiding and backcombing but along the way, they also absorb via osmosis all sorts of ingenious hair care wisdom from some of the best-renowned hair artists in the trade.

So, it makes sense then that when they get time off, they can't be doing with all manner of fiddly hair styles. Simplicity is key. Like Joan Small's low-maintenance beachy waves or Hanne Gaby Odiele's just-washed Scandi blonde. The easier and more adaptable when running between shows or castings the better. 

Here are 34 ways you too can channel the breezy insouciance of off-duty model hair. Just don't be surprised if people start to look at you quizzically in the street.
