Here’s the situation, you wake up ready to take the day and look in the mirror and unfortunately, you did just wake up like this.

 

1.

The problem: Frizzy

The solution: The ponytail 

 

Take your average ponytail to the next level by using two elastics inside of one. Make two pony tails, one on top of the other and then tied again together for extra hold. This effortless, messy ponytail will make you look great without trying too hard. 

 

2. 

The problem: Greasy

The solution: Braids for days

 

Try an easy-going, boho braid. Braiding your bangs is tricky, but once mastered you can play around with different braided hairstyles that will hide your greasy hair.

 

 

 

3.

The problem: Washed your hair but no time to blow it dry

The solution: The chic, model-off duty low bun

Simply brush your wet locks, part to your preference, twist your hair into a small bun at the nape of your neck and secure with bobby pins. Complete Gigi’s look with black liquid liner, bronzer, and a nude-pink lipstick. 

 

 

 

4.

The problem: Everything about your hair is just not okay

The solution: Dry shampoo 

 

In an emergency, dry shampoo is a girl’s best friend. Part your hair and spray sections of your roots. Let it set for a minute or two before running your fingers through it to distribute evenly. Brush your hair and precede with any hairstyle of your liking.

 

5.

The problem: Damaged 

The solution: Sock bun 

 

Hide those damaged ends with this 3-minute sock bun style. You can make it as perfect or messy as you’d like. Using a cut sock is where this style gets its name, but you can also find a hairstyling ring as pictured in stores such as Urban Outfitters and H&M.
