Tips for Dealing With Bad Hair Days!

Bad hair days happen even to the best of us, but you don't have to let them get the best of you. Here are some tips to help you deal with bad hair days:

Most stylists recommend that you don't wash your hair everyday. The natural oils are essential to maintain hair's moisture,but when your hair is just a little too dirty and you don't have time to shampoo try using a dry shampoo.

Dirty Secret Dry Shampoo by TIGI is a great product because it absorbs excess oils and gives hair a clean fresh scent. Spray throughout the hair to absorb oil and odor or spray just at the roots for volume and texture. Give it a minute and then brush or work it lightly through the hair.

Another great dry shampoo is Volumizing Dry Shampoo by Sexy Hair. This mineral and clay based dry shampoo creates volume as it absorbs impurities, excess oil and product build-up. No water necessary.

If you don't have a dry shampoo you can use hair spray. Lightly spray the roots with hair spray and then blow dry with a round brush. As you blow dry your hair some of the oil will evaporate with the hairspray. This will also help you to create volume.

Another great tip is to wear your hair pulled up. Tease hair at the roots to give a ponytail some volume or pull it back in a messy bun.

To create this look you'll need:
•2 elastics
•Bristled brush
•Anti-frizz product
•Hairspray
Start by brushing your hair with a bristle brush to smooth tangles. Apply an anti-frizz product such as Redken 01 Outshine. Brush your hair into a ponytail and secure with the first elastic band. Wrap the ponytail around it's base and secure with the second elastic band. Tuck bobby pins into the back of the bun for added security. Use your fingers or the tail of a comb to pull some small strands of the bun. Spray lightly with hairspray to help keep it's shape. Add a cute headband to either style for a touch of color.

If you prefer to wear your hair down, you can run a flat iron over your hair to create a smooth look, or curl big sections to create messy waves. Twist sections around your hairline, pull them back and secure them with a bobby pin.
