It's true, dry shampoo can save us many times, but there are other alternative solutions when you don't have time to wash your hair!

One of the burdens we women carry on our backs is definitely washing our hair. Some may think it's funny, but if you have a child, a job, get up early in the morning and have a list of tasks several kilometers long, washing your hair doesn't always come up. Shampoo, then water, then repeat, then conditioner, then water, then sometimes a mask - the process is long, but sometimes time is a simple luxury for which we do not have a "budget". And we all know that confidence mostly comes from our heads. The hardest thing is to feel beautiful when your hair is not clean. And that's why we present you 4 alternative ways to make you feel attractive even when you don't have time to wash your hair.

Powder

When talking about a quick fix for dirty hair, dry shampoo is a very obvious answer. But if you run out of it, there is an alternative. All you need is baby powder and a regular powder brush. Dust the brush with powder and then apply to the scalp. You can also sprinkle the powder on your fingers and run them through your hair. When you are sure that there is no more white powder on your scalp, it will be clear that the powder has absorbed the oil and your hair looks fresh.

High ponytail

When we have to make a hairstyle out of dirty hair, the first choice is always a ponytail. You just need to know a few tricks and you can use the ponytail to the fullest. The best option when we need a quick solution is a high ponytail. Bend over and throw your hair over your head, then brush your hair into a ponytail as much as possible. Once you've done this, take a little body cream, spread it between your palms and run it through your hair to make the ponytail look smooth. When you're done, take one strand from the ponytail and wrap it around a rubber band and secure it with a bobby pin. This will hide the elastic band and give your hairstyle a slightly more elegant touch.

Twisted strands

If the hair is just starting to get greasy, but not completely dirty, you can leave it loose, but still do the hairstyle. Take the first strand from the right and left side of your hair, then wrap it completely and pin it in a Grecian goddess style. You can also make a braid out of these strands, which you then tie with one clip at the back of your head.

Hair ring or scarf

This is salvation for days when you are in a hurry. Buy several rings, some plain and some with a pattern, and they will work with any combination. You can also put your hair up in a bun (untidy if desired) and add a hair band (or scarf), which will also cover your "dirt" and will serve as an accessory.

How to make sure that the hair does not get greasy too often?

  • When you wash your hair, make sure you do it well and don't leave any traces of shampoo or conditioner on your scalp.
  • Try not to run your fingers through your hair too often during the day, this is excess oil.
  • Use a shower cap. The steam speeds up the greasing process of the hair, and you will protect it with a cap.
