How to hide dirty hair
Simple ways to look great, even if you have absolutely no time to wash your hair.
It’s only an hour before an important meeting, and you overslept. Or maybe the man of your dreams invited you on a romantic date, and you spent all the time getting ready to choose a dress? The editorial staff of Wday.ru knows how to disguise dirty hair and not worry about what others will think of you.
Dry shampoo
Nowadays, brands have created an irreplaceable helper – dry shampoo. Divide your hair into strands and apply it to the roots like hairspray, holding the spray can at a distance of 20-25 cm from the head.
Dry shampoo does not work equally effectively on all types of hair, but in case of extreme haste it can become a real salvation, as well as add extra volume to the hair.
Homemade dry shampoo recipe
If you don’t have dry shampoo, you can try to solve the issue with flour for light hair and dry mustard for dark hair:
rub mustard or flour through your hair and leave it on for a couple of minutes;
after application, it is imperative to comb out the “powder” from your hair so as not to look like you have dandruff;
wash your hair in the evening.
Bouffant
Dirty hair can be combed at the roots to add volume and visually reduce weight. Just don’t try to tidy them up with hairspray.
Quick wash
If the problem overtakes you in the warm season, and your hair is no more than 5-10 centimeters below the shoulder, you can wash your hair with shampoo in 2 minutes, skipping the care part, and then apply a texturizer and blow-dry your hair, keeping your head down. 10 minutes – and you can run to work.
Headdress
Shawls, kerchiefs, panamas, caps: hats remain at the peak of their popularity this season. With them, you can not only hide your unwashed head, but also complement your look with a stylish accessory.
Wash bangs
If your hair looks very dirty, you can only wash your bangs. Take the top strands, and collect the rest in a ponytail. It will take you no more than 10 minutes to wash and dry your bangs. Comb the bangs back and secure with a hair clip.
Beauty salon
If you turn off the water and you do not have time to wash your hair due to the fact that while you fill the basins, an hour will pass, you can contact the nearest hairdresser. Washing and drying your hair is inexpensive and doesn’t take long.
Alcohol
For the most daring: you can apply alcohol on a towel and blot the hair roots, then fix the result with a hairdryer. As a result, it should look like just washed hair.
Sloppy bunch
And one more life hack: apply dry shampoo only to the roots, but do not comb. Beat the hair at the roots and make a loose bun.
Ponytail
Sometimes a regular ponytail helps, in which you can collect long hair. However, it is a mistake to think that such a hairstyle can always solve the problem of dirty hair. On the other hand, depending on texture, color, and other factors, it may turn out that the hair, on the contrary, will look messy and oily.
In some cases, oddly enough, dirty hair can do a good job. There are hairstyles that are done only on unclean hair. For example, stylist Jennifer Aniston for the Golden Globes asked her not to wash her hair for two days so that the styling would hold better. The main thing is that the hairstyle is not smooth, slick. Otherwise, the effect will work in the opposite direction.
Wet hair effect
One of the most stylish hairstyles for an evening look. Since it involves a large amount of gel, others will not notice whether you had time to wash your hair or not. The main thing is not to overdo it with the remedy. To do this, apply it gradually.
Low beam
Another hairstyle that will hide messy hair perfectly. When making a licked bun, do not forget about the key detail – the parting. Such an element will make your look as stylish as possible. And so that short hairs do not knock out from the face, use a small amount of gel, hair wax or (my personal life hack) an old toothbrush, generously sprinkled with varnish.
