We have all had bad hair days. We wake up in the morning, realise our hair is a complete mess and try our best to make it look good! But no matter what we do, nothing seems to work! And the worst thing is that it always seems to happen when we have an important work meeting or a date with someone we like. What can we do to look good on days like that? Here are a few tips:
1. Wear your hair up
If I’m having a bad hair day and no time to wash it, I usually wear my hair up. I like to throw it in a ponytail or a messy bun and sometimes, I jazz it up by wearing a headband or some other cute hair accessory. This way, no one will notice that my hair is having a bad day and people will simply think that messy but chic is the look I was going for.
2. Dry shampoo/baby powder
Another trick for when I don’t have time to wash my hair is to use a dry shampoo. These contain ingredients like cornstarch or talc that absorb excess oil. I just spray it on my hair, brush it and I’m good to go. My hair may still feel dirty but it’ll look good until I have time to wash it properly. If you don’t have dry shampoo, you can use baby powder. Just rub it on your hair and it will absorb oil while giving you some volume too.
3. Wear a hat
I’m not a hat person but when all else fails or I’m in such a rush that I don’t even have the time to style my hair in a ponytail, I’ll just grab a hat and run out the door. There are lots of different types of hats out there, in different colors and styles, so you’re sure to find a cute one that’ll look fantastic on you. And in the cold winter months, a hat won’t only cover a bad hair day, but will keep your head warm too.

#1!! That’s what I normally do when I have a bad hair day, either tie it up in a pony tail or twist it and secure with a clip….

Vonvon, that’s my favourite trick too. Once your hair is up, it will look ok even if it is not.
I always tie my hair up because I never really thought about powder. Will definitely buy a bottle or two soon.

Meream, I always use powder when I don’t have dry shampoo. It absorbs oil and gives hair a nice lift too
i tried with baby powder before..but it just made my hair worse. LOL. so i will just tie my hair up or use a hair band

prettybeautiful, that’s a shame. Weirdly enough, baby powder works better than dry shampoo for me.
They say cornflour is even better than baby powder
Negra Cabreada, I didn’t know that but I’m going to try it now, I’m curious.
Thanks for the tip.
