Ditch the dry shampoo: 3 easy hairstyles that hide greasy roots

Trine Jensen-Burke

Because there are days when you just can’t face washing your hair.

We have all been here. And if your dry shampoo addiction is getting a little out of hand (like ours), try adding these three easy hair stylesry adding these three easy hair styles to your rota.

And voila – now you can enjoy those extra 20 minutes in bed instead. Sure you can always wash your hair tomorrow.

1. The half-up bun is your BFF

The half up bun (also popularly known as the ‘hun’), was literally made for can’t-be-bothered-to-wash-your-hair days.

All you need to do is add some dry shampoo first for volume, then section off the top section and pull it back into a messy topknot. Secure with a few pins, then gently tug at strands to loosen the style and give an ‘undone’ finish.

2. Use your silk scarf for all it’s worth

Invest in a pretty patterned headband or get creative with a silk scaf – it’ll hide that dirty hair while still looking all sorts of Blair Waldorf-y cute.

3. Buy a claw clip

Or, you know, dig around in your drawer, because you’re bound to have one there somewhere. Anyway, this old-school hair clip is great for greasy hair days.

Just prep your hair with a little salt water spray (for texture) or dry shampoo for volume, and twist back up into a sort of a messy bun. Secure with the clip, then pull some strands of hair loose for a more messy effect.
