How to Fix Your Hair When You Didn't Get a Shower
- 1). Apply dry shampoo. Dry shampoo is a hair powder that absorbs and minimizes the greasiness and oil that build up as a result of not washing, helping your hair look soft, clean and voluminous. If using a powder, sprinkle the dry shampoo along your roots and then work it throughout the hair with your fingertips. If using a dry shampoo spray, spritz the product into your hair the way you would use traditional hairspray. Wait several minutes for the shampoo to absorb before styling.
- 2). Blow dry. Heat helps tame your unwashed hair into manageable waves and curls. Use a blow dryer or a curling iron to apply heat, using a round brush at the same time for more volume. Focus your blow dryer on the roots and underside of your hair to combat oiliness or sweat.
- 3). Create an updo. If leaving your hair down and loose is only showcasing its greasiness or stringiness, a simple updo style adds instant polish. A ponytail looks playful and versatile, whether worn high or on the nape of your neck. For a more professional look, try a slightly messy bun or a French twist. A side braid is a casual look for a party or running errands.
- 4). Accessorize. Flashy hair accessories run the risk of drawing more attention to your hair. Stick to more subtle accessories, including simple headbands, clips, bobby pins and elastics in neutral colors or shades that match your hair. A basic clip or thin elastic headband helps your hair look more polished without drawing unwanted attention.
