Don’t let blah, uncooperative hair ruin a perfectly good day! There are a zillion quick, cute style options to choose from when your tresses are feeling temperamental (just check out Aisha Tyler’s sexy, off-center ponytail). From easy upsweeps to Bettie Page-bangs, check out our gallery of “bad hair day” style saviors.
Show unsexy strands who’s boss with a long, curly hairpiece!
TO DO: Slick hair back into a bun at the crown of your head. Then, clip the hairpiece around the bun. Try Charm Wavy by Tress Allure ($35).
On day three or four of your blowout, it can sometimes look greasy, dull, or lifeless. Spice it up with an easy half-up/half down style, like Keisha Whitaker’s.
TO DO: Separating out bangs and a few face-framing layers, sweep top half of your hair back into a low ponytail at the base of your neck. Leave the strands underneath loose.
Not only is Sheree Whitfield’s red carpet updo deceptively easy to achieve, it also perfectly masks a difficult hair day.
TO DO: Set random sections of hair on hot rollers, and set for about fifteen minutes (perfect time to do your makeup and get dressed). Then, part your hair on the side and sweep it up into a pony. Loosely pin random curls around the elastic, creating an unfussy bun.
On humid days, don’t fight your natural texture by trying to create a sleek blowout! Instead, rock a curly asymmetric ponytail like Holly Robinson Peete.
TO DO: Use fingers to rake a curl-defining cream throughout damp hair and let air dry or diffuse. Then, loosely secure your curls in a playful side pony.
