Oh second day hair, we know you all too well. And let's be honest, we know third day hair really well too. Sometimes we just don't have the time or the energy to wash our hair and in that case, these second day hair styles will definitely come in handy.
A loose side braid is the way to go.
It always seems like our bangs are the first thing to get greasy. Instead of washing you hair, just braid your bangs into a side braid that runs across your forehead. You'll be left with a cute bohemian look and no one will know you're on second day hair. Make sure to secure the braid on the side with bobby pins so it stays in place.
