Imagine having to step out on a warm sunny day in an amazing outfit while you are going through a bad hair day…
Nothing can bum you out more than that. Hair makes all the difference to one’s entire look; it can make it or break it. Wearing best of the clothes and accessories cannot compensate for hair gone moody. Like Martin Luther put it “hair is the richest ornament for a woman”, its important that along with the rest of our attire, we pay if not more, equal importance to its well being and good shape.
8 out of 10 times, you will end up dealing with your hair misbehaving. Well, not to worry I’m here to save your hair despair! Over the years I have figured out sly ways to conquer unruly hair days. Letting it be, Covering up the act and Making it look pretty are a few of my ideas I will share with you today. A few must haves from my personal list, are dry shampoo, a comb for back combing, essential hair accessories like cute, funky, colorful bobby pins, and hairbands. My personal favorites have always been bohemian hairbands and over-sized flower clips.

Luckily for me, I usually wake up with well-behaved hair, and leave it blow-dried or straighten it out. However, there are the difficult days and it just can’t be managed, that’s when dry shampoo comes to the rescue. I flip my hair out spray a bit of dry shampoo near the roots and backcomb it and it gives the perfectly disheveled, messy hair look. It works out brilliantly for a carefree day, or a night out. It gives volume to the hair and also takes away the oily, damp look, making it look very edgy. Adding a bright hairband, would just it a spark.

Good Morning and thank you hair for behaving!

Feeling lazy and hot? The quickest and easiest way out is taking all your hair up in a messy bun and accessorizing it with some fun bobby pins, would work for day and night.

Bad hair days are not the only times for wearing a cute hairband or a classy hat; spring and summer are the best times of the year to don some of the most fun hair accessories anyway.

So don’t be shy, make it work with a messy bun, accessorize with fun bobby pins, put on that funky hat or stylish hairband, and flaunt the feminine, carefree part of you. Let’s all go effortlessly sassy and show our hair who’s boss!
