We’ve all had those days where life gets in the way and washing your hair ends up on the back burner. While washing your hair every single day can result in dry hair, breaking ends, or even excess oil, there may be some weeks where you go two or three days without washing your hair. For some, this is no big deal, but if you just struggled to find the time and now you’re left with hair that may be a little less than clean, you may be scrambling for a solution. In today’s post, we will give you a few ideas for some second-day styles that will give your locks the boost they need.

When it’s been a day or two since you’ve washed your hair, you will need the right products in your arsenal to help you look your best. Luckily, if you live in Anchorage, Marie’s Beauty Salon & Supply has everything you need, from dry shampoo to hairspray, bobby pins, and more!

Braids

Braids are a classic look when you have second-day hair, and they are pretty easy to do. When your hair is really clean, sometimes it can feel too slippery to put into the perfect braid, but when your hair has just a little bit of oil, it’s much easier to get a good grip and braid your hair nice and tight.

Additionally, there are many different braid styles for you to try, from classic braids to French braids, braid crowns, and Dutch braids! You can pair a low braid style with a trendy headband or a hat, or you can fashion your hair into a braided headband and finish it with a sleek ponytail! Either way, you are sure to look fabulous.

Messy Bun

A messy bun is a classic second-day look, and for many people, it’s their go-to. This look is great if you’re heading to the gym, hanging out with friends, or simply having a lazy day at home. All you need for this look is a hair tie and maybe some bobby pins. If you’re going to be super active, you may even add a small bit of hairspray to your ‘do to ensure that it stays in place.

Add Some Curls

When you wake up with hair that may be slightly on the oily side, your first instinct may be to throw on a hat or whisk it into a ponytail. However, if you want to put in a little more effort for a great look, you can always add a few curls! Second-day hair is perfect for curls and will actually help them stay better than freshly washed hair. Not to mention, when you curl your hair, it will give it volume and help to hide any areas that are slightly oily!
