Messy Hair?!? Tips to Tame your Unruly Hair!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Pepperdine chapter.

Messy hair, don’t care!?!? Yes, we do care! As much as I love this saying and enjoy my hair looking messy, on purpose, I hate when my hair gets too out of control! As our days get a little longer, and the responsibilities of all the activities, jobs, school, and trying to maintain a social life pile up, who has time to wash and fix their hair perfectly all the time?

Uhhmm, I know I don’t! Here are three tips to help make your hair look presentable when it just really isn’t.

No time to wash your hair? No problem!

Dry Shampoo

If you are anything like me and can get away with not having to wash your hair for long periods of time. This is a great trick to help keep your hair looking better than ever! Dry shampoo will be your life saver and best friend. This is my favorite go-to when my hair needs to get rid of the extra shine that it has built up.

 This Dry Bar Shampoo is my fav, and it lasts forever!

Buns

Yes, ladies….. I said it! Buns. I love putting my hair up in cute purposely messy buns when my hair is uncooperative, and it won’t sit nicely. It always seems to sit “perfectly” and pretty when my hair hasn’t been washed in a few days.

Here are some great Pinterest Bun ideas!

Braids

This is also another great tip to help your hair look great without having to put a lot of effort into it. Combine this with some dry shampoo, and you have a great look that will carry you throughout your day without having to focus on your hair!
