What to do if you didn’t have time to wash your hair: 7 life hacks

People who always and everywhere succeed seem to be superheroes. They do not allow themselves to lie down for another 5 minutes in the morning, because they carefully plan their time. If you are not ready to call yourself a time management guru, then most likely you are not without sacrifice. It will be especially difficult to get into the usual regime after the end of quarantine.  

When you don’t have time for breakfast, the problem is simple: any meal can be rescheduled. Shampooing is more complicated, but don’t worry: if you don’t have time to wash your hair, there are several ways to get out of this situation.

1. Braid your hair

Instead of the usual ponytail, you can make an interesting and elegant hairstyle that will not take much of your time. You are limited only by your imagination: a simple braid, a French braid or a “fishtail” – there are many options. Sleight of hand and no fraud!

2. Use dry shampoo   

Dry shampoo is an indispensable helper and best friend of any modern woman, especially when there is no time to wash your hair. Instant effect and ease of use are the main advantages of dry shampoo. Apply it to the roots of your hair, wait 5 minutes (during this time, it will remove oil and leave your hair clean), comb through and enjoy a fresh style.

3. Put on a headband or headband

Accessories come to the rescue in difficult situations. Headbands, headbands and scarves will not only carefully hide your messy hair, but also add a twist to your look. They suit almost everyone, so we advise you to carefully study how to wear a bandage correctly so that you are a beauty queen, even if you have not had time to wash your hair.

4. Blow dry your hair

We are used to drying our hair after washing, but drying already dry hair is not crazy, but a brilliant life hack. If you have a mousse or styling gel, apply it to your hair and add volume. Now you just have to dry the products with a hairdryer. Perhaps this method will take a little more time, but it will definitely come in handy when you do not have time for an important meeting.

5. Moisturize only part of the hair

This method is suitable for those who are not ready to spend half an hour on washing their hair, but there are extra 10 minutes in stock. Do a few simple steps: Moisten the front of your hair (you don’t need to wash your hair, the sink will be enough), and then dry your hair.

6. Use baby powder

Moms will be delighted with this method, because they do not have to spend money on dry shampoo. Baby powder will absorb sebum, saving the situation. To do this, sprinkle a little powder on your hands and distribute it evenly through your hair, paying special attention to the roots. We advise you to massage your head with your fingers so that the fat is completely absorbed. Just don’t overdo it or sprinkle the powder directly on your head, otherwise it will seem like you have dandruff.

7. Focus on hair accessories

If the length of the hair allows, you can make a “malvinka” and decorate an uncomplicated hairstyle with a bright hairpin. Alternatively, you can twist the front of your hair into a tight braid and pin it on the side. The emphasis on a stylish accessory will distract attention from the unwashed head, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
