Shampooing and styling your hair every day can steal hours away from your busy schedule. Why do it to yourself? These two pretty styles, created by Kailie Joe from the new beauty-booking platform Stylisted, are not only made for dirty hair, they take just a few minutes to achieve. So skip the shampoo and try something new. The dirtier the hair, the better.
Pulling off unwashed hair with a bob is difficult because you can’t just throw it in a top knot or pony and go. This cool, knotted trick will keep hair off your face (and even tame unruly second-day bangs) before your next shampoo.
Since you’re working with second-day (or longer) hair, start by spritzing some dry shampoo to get rid of excess oil before you touch up waves or curls with an iron.
Use a pomade like CHI Twisted Fabric Finishing Paste for better grip, keeping a dollop on the back of your hand. Put some product on your fingers, and then, with your hair parted to the side, take two fairly thin pieces of hair from the hairline near the ear.
This part can get a bit tricky. Unpin the first strand and bring it down under the second knot’s uppermost piece. Pin the second piece up like you did the first. Grab two more pieces right behind the first and second knot. Add them to the the existing pieces and make a third knot.
Whether you’ve got a big presentation at work or need a quick hairstyle for a wedding you’re attending, this easy chignon will have you out the door in minutes. Simply skip shampoo and work with the waves from your last blowout – no one will ever know.
Take small sections of the leftover pieces, back comb for texture and secure with a bobby pin to make a messy chignon. Repeat this step until every piece has a place. You can even leave the ends sticking out for a more undone look.
