Ever had a bad hair day? If your answer is yes, then you’re in good company. Most every woman has! In fact, I can’t imagine anyone never having a day when their hair just didn’t cooperate with them at all! Sometimes is because of the weather, but sometimes your hair just won’t behave itself!
Many things contribute to having a day when your hair just won’t do what you want it to do! You want it to go left, it goes right. You want your hair to stay up, it falls down. You just can’t seem to find any peace between what you want your hair to do, and what your hair wants to do on it’s own. It’s almost like your hair has a brain of it’s own and it's payback time.
Bad hair days are especially painful if you’ve got something important planned. Having bad hair isn’t too terrible if you’re just running to the grocery store. However, special events like wedding days are probably the absolute worst days for this phenomenon to happen. Having bad hair is awful enough, but when you are getting married, it’s catastrophic. After all, pictures have to be taken, and unfortunately most people are going to talk, and talk a lot. It’s embarrassing enough without having to take flack about it for years to come.
That’s why planning is key! If you’ve got important stuff planned, you must also plan how your hair will look. Here are a few tips to get you on your way so you’ll never have another bad hair day, when it counts and even when it doesn’t count as much!
How Not to Have a Bad Hair Day
If you are getting married or attending a big event, get a haircut or trim at least one week before the event. Hair that’s been freshly cut often doesn’t look blended or refined. Given a week though, most blended styles will fall right into place.
Styling clean hair is harder to do than styling slightly dirty hair. If you want to prevent a bad hair day, don’t try to style it right after you shampoo. If you just have to shampoo, don’t weigh it down using heavy conditioners and don’t expect miracles.
Know thy hair! Women often try to create a style that is made for people who don’t have their hair texture. Trying to create hairdo’s that don’t work for your hair type, is just crazy. It will drive you mad and absolutely batty! Don’t try to reinvent the wheel. Accept what you have. There are other hairstyles that will work for you and will make you happy! Look for new hairstyles here!
Use gels, mousse, hairspray, spritz’s, etc., to hold you hair when it won’t cooperate or stay in place.
Clarify your hair occasionally to get rid of product build up. Product build up can create bad hair quickly.
Moisturize your mid hair shaft and ends only. Conditioners weigh down your hair, so don’t apply them to your roots, especially if you want to lift them.
Cut your hair so it matches your face shape! When your hairstyle matches the shape of your face, your face and your hair will always look good! You’ll never have a bad hair day again!
Cut down on frizzy hair using hair wax. Simply dab a bit in your fingertips and tap it into the frizzy part of your hair.
If you just can’t get your hair to do a darn thing, pull it back into a ponytail and wear a bright, colorful clip or ribbon.
Many women throw on a ball cap when they wake up with dirty hair. Instead of covering it up, use dry shampoo’s to breathe new life back into your locks.
If your hair creases and crinkles after you sleep on it, simply spritz some water onto your hair and blow dry out the creases. Voila! No more crinkles!
Another way to get rid of hair crinkles is to simply sleep on satin sheets, or simply sleep on a satin pillowcase. I bought satin sheets over a year ago, and talk more about them here: Anti Aging Products that Pamper You. I don't know if you've ever tried them, but satin sheets are at the top of my list. I give them five BIG stars!
You’re trying to run out the door, but the hair clip you bought isn’t large enough to hold your hair. Instead of fussing and cussing, try clipping a smaller section back instead.
You’ve been meaning to color your hair but your roots are showing big time. What to do? Instead of fretting, wear a wide headband over them. Tuck your headband behind your ears and let the hair from behind fall forward. Pull out your sideburns (if the roots aren't bad too) or add a bang sweep for more personality.
If you were born with straight hair, but always curl it, (because you love curly hair), get a permanent wave instead. You’ll free up a lot of time by investing in a simple perm!
Conversely, is you have curly hair and are always straightening it, you may benefit from getting your hair rebonded. Be careful though! This process can be very damaging if it's not done correctly. Use salon’s that have a good standing in your community and that have done the process many times before.
If you’re tired of your hair laying flat on your head, you can revitalize your entire look just by adding some bangs.
Don’t ever try to fight the weather. If the weather man is calling for heavy rain, opt for another day to curl or style your hair.
To add spark to your hair, try a temporary color to your hair ends. This is called hair tipping. It can be done quickly and easily if you know how to do it.
Really think about new haircuts or styles you get. Is the new cut or style made for your hair? A straight style on curly hair won't work well in most cases, and visa versa. Make sure the styles you choose are appropriate for your lifestyle. This one tip can prevent you from every having bad hair days.
You can prevent a bad hair day before they happen just by using good common sense. You'll be much happier if you give up on the notion that your bound for more 'hair don't' days.
