QOTD

How do you fix a bad hair day and how often do you wash your hair? 

I wash mine every other day, and to fix a bad hair day, I just throw it up in a ponytail! 

Re: QOTD

  • I wash and condition my hair every work day. I'm certain i'm not supposed to, but i can not STAND the feeling of greasy hair.  On weekends, I can probably skip a day, but then I'm likely wearing a pony tail, anyway.

    During the week, I blow it "straight" (which is never really straight) a couple of days a week, but often wear it up in a silver stick pin/bun holder scenario.  Very librarian looking. 

  • I wear my hair half up or in a ponytail everyday.  A bad hair day for me is when my "wispies" start going crazy so I just use a little gel or hairspray to hold them down. If I am not working I will put a hat on.  Most of the time I wash my hair every other day sometime everyday.

  • I wash my hair daily between working out and it being so curly.  I haven't mastered 2nd day curly yet.

    Bad hair day means it ends up half up or in a low ponytail if I'm working.  Up all the way in a ponytail on the weekends.

  • I shampoo and condition my hair in the shower 6 days a week. I'll use dry shampoo the other day. My hair tends to get oily and even if it doesn't look it, I can feel it and it drives me nutty. Bad hair days, or high-stress days, usually result in a ponytail of some kind. Apparently a few people in my office have picked up on the ponytail/glasses combo as my indication of stress and/or exhaustion. It's led to some funny moments actually.

  • I'm sure I'll be an oddball here, my hair is uber dry so I can't wash it everyday - unless I'm wearing it curly - then I'm with Shaina, 2nd day curly is hard so it needs to be washed daily. But blowdrying kills my already dry hair so I go two days in between if I'm doing that. My bangs can get oily b/c I mess with them so I use dry shampoo (thanks to the recs here!) on them if necessary.

    ETA: To fix a bad hair day, it goes up in a bun/knot and the bangs get clipped back!

  • I wash and condition my hair every day.  If I did not, my hair would be greasy and disgusting.

    If I'm having a bad hair day, I just put it up in a messy bun or ponytail.

  • I wash my hair every other day unless I have something special going on that second day.

    To fix a bad hair day I am like everyone else and throw it up in a ponytail.

    I have the same problem Summer.  I wash every other day.  The roots start to get a little greasy by the end of day 2.  If it's a bad hair day, up into a ponytail it goes or a bun sometimes.

  • I wash my hair everyday. Sometimes on a weekend I won't shower. A bad hair day means hair is in a ponytail. My hair doesnt do anything.

  • I might be odd, but my body doesn't feel clean unless my hair is clean.  I'm OCD like that.

    I tend to agree but on the other hand, I do not want to dry it out either. Plus, being able to sleep in a bit on those days are nice.

  • I have to wash mine everyday or it's oily and gross.

    Bad hair day is fixed with a pony tail.

  • My hair is a freak of nature and doesn't get greasy. I usually wash it every other day, but I can add in an extra day with no issues. Bad hair day for me means I just wash my bangs/front and put it in a ponytail.

    This is if I blow dry and flat iron. Once I flat iron it I don't have to heat style again until after I wash. I also haven't mastered 2nd day curly hair.
