7 Styling Ideas That Will Hide Greasy Hair

by Madison Alcedo

With the winter months soon approaching, it's sometimes hard to find the motivation to wash and style your hair for work everyday. You might like to use dry shampoo to hide dirty hair, but sometimes a simple hairstyle can do the trick to hide greasy hair.

Some people can go days without washing their hair without it looking greasy, but if you aren't that lucky, there's some easy styles to learn to use on days when your energy and time might be lacking in the mornings.

If you've ever gotten your hair done for a dance or a wedding, your hairdresser might have said, "Dirty hair styles better so don't wash it beforehand." Whatever the science may be behind greasy hair styling better, it is true, especially if you've witnessed it while being in a rush to come up with a quick hairstyle without having to wash your hair.

If you're like me and like to vary your hairstyles each day, there are countless ways to add variety to your look, even if you may be rocking two or three day-old hair. Thanks to the help of some YouTube hair gurus, you can have an arsenal of hairstyles to use on any bad hair day (greasy hair included).

1. Half-Up Top Knot

For this trendy look, section your hair off into a high half ponytail at the crown of your head, twist your ponytail, and tie up into a knot.

2. Messy French Twist

If you have dry shampoo and hairspray, you can easily complete this look in minutes!

3. Easy Fishtail Braid

Instead of a traditional braid, slick your hair back into a fishtail braid that will give your look a boost on any bad hair day. Pull the braid after styling for a more laid-back style.

4. Double Rope Braid Bun

Even though this hairstyle looks more like an glam updo, with day-old hair you create make a messier version that requires very little effort.

5. High Ponytail

Channel your inner Ariana Grande vibes, spray some dry shampoo, and gather a high pony at the crown of your head for a sleek look.

6. Tuck And Cover French Braid

Instead of just wearing a headband to hide a bad hair day, add a simple french braid that will keep your hair out of your way all day long.

7. Slick-Backed Hair

Inspired by some of Kim Kardashian's latest looks, this is one of the easiest hairstyles to wear when you hair is at its greasiest.
