When you have your back against the wall, and are between hair cuts or washings, these bad hair day prevention tips will really help you out!
- hats. find a hat that goes with your outfit and make use of it. even a baseball hat will work with the right outfit.
- ponytail or clip. pull it back with a scrunchie or pretty hair clip.
- bandanna or headband. wrapped around the head these can make for a nice modern look.
- fabric softener sheet. if your bad hair day is caused by static, this will help. simply rub it on your hair and scalp.
- avoid daily use of your blow dryer. the heat is very damaging to your hair. If you cannot live without daily use of the hair dryer, a lower setting may help.
