Bad Hair Day?

If you're having a bad hair day, I found ways to fix specific problems and also just ways to fix your hair if you're in a hurry and don't know what to do or you're just bored with your hair. This might be lengthy considering I'm going to use pictures.. So be prepared to scroll, alot!

8 WAYS TO STYLE/FIX HAIR WHEN IT WON'T COOPERATE:

Decorative Bobby Pins! If all you have time to do is just pull your bangs back or lock in a piece of hair that doesn't belong.. but you want something other than just a plain, hair colored bobby pin.. investing in some unique ones I think is a good idea. Of course it doesn't have to be buttons like those. But something as simple as a decorative bobby pin can make you feel a bit more put together, like you meant for it to be that way, even if it's just your go-to hairstyle.

Scarves! They're not only for around your neck. Some people can actually pull this off. I've never tried it, but maybe someday, it's kind of cute.. if you're dressed really casual that day and just wanna throw your hair up and accessorize it a bit.

Hats! I LOVE HATS! I'd buy more hats and wear them more often if I had more opportunities to wear them and not feel like an idiot. If you really have no where else to go, no more ways to fix your hair that day, you can put on a hat like that, and I think it's really cute!

Headbands! They come in all different sizes and designs. Headbands like this one are good for not only holding hair in place, but they're cute as well. You could easily tuck back your bangs if you wanted to and it still look just as pretty.

Dry Shampoo! Okay, now please, don't use this everyday.. that's gross! Dry shampoo is just for times when you're like in a rush, or your hair just doesn't look like you want it too or for second day hair if you're a person who washes your hair every other day. It's just not meant to take the place of a normal shampoo, just to freshen it up a bit. My advice is if you purchase a dry shampoo, get a kind that sprays invisible or dries invisible so you won't have random white flakes or streaks in your hair.

Using Ribbon! There are lots of ways to use ribbon in your hair. For example, in the picture, the girl just has is tied around her head with a bow around the braid. I personally think it's adorable that way. But if you want, you can just tie them in bows or braid it in with your natural hair. It's all up to you.

Braids! I love braids.. but for a braid like above it's kind of difficult to do with shorter hair. There are a lot of different kinds of braids you can do, and it can be all of your hair or half of it, there's really a lot of options with braids. The one above is meant to look messy.. so if you're already having a bad hair day, this would probably be a good option for you. I call it a fishtail braid, but I've heard people call it a mermaid braid as well.

And last but not least, there's always the option to throw your hair up into a bun! It's quick and easy and there are tons of different kinds. Whether it's messy like Lauren Conrad's above or sleek on the top of your head, it doesn't matter, just whatever you prefer. I like most all of them!

  1. I like this blog. I never really thought about getting fancy bobby pins before. My luck I'd end up losing them though. I don't know how, but I have never seen anything disappear like bobby pins do.
    If I'm feeling like a lazy hair day I usually just straighten it or put it in a ponytail with the braid thing where my bangs are. Or if my hair is dry enough the night before, I'll put it into two french braids and then in the morning take them out and my hair is wavy! Like today!
    Great tips! :)

  2. Thanks. I really just got the idea from some site and put it into my own words. But yeah, bobby pins tend to disappear with me too!
