It happens to everyone once in a while, when you wake up in the morning and notice those ungainly kinks in your hair that refuse to be tamed, or your hair feels super greasy, or simply looks frizzy and blah. Don’t give into depression on a bad hair day. Simply follow these tricks to make your worst hair work best for you.

1. Hair looks limp with styling residue? Take some baking soda and mix it with your regular shampoo and lather up the scalp nicely. Rinse thoroughly to cleanse the scalp, and use a light conditioner. Your hair will feel softer and more manageable. Avoid using styling product that day except a drop of shine serum.

2. No time to shampoo your hair in the morning? Just wash and rinse the front part of your hair as you soap up your body. Then smooth the hair on top or comb your bangs nicely to give fresh look to your style. Pull the hair back into a ponytail and tease it slightly to give a purposefully messed up look.

3. Bored of your regular style? Simply switch your part to the other side or go right down the middle to make a world of a difference to your looks.

4. Greasy scalp? Sprinkle some baby powder or corn starch into your palms and rub on the scalps, and comb out hair thoroughly for a fresh feel.

5. Hair too wild to tame? Then play up the texture. Turn your head upside down and spray some sea salt spray at the roots. Then scrunch hair with fingers for natural volume. Part and pin on one side for a trendy do.

6. No time for blow drying hair? Pull back into a tight bun at the middle of the head. Smooth some serum to tame flyaways and you are set to go. In the evening let the bun loose for some sexy waves.

7. Blah second day after shampoo? Tuck your hair into a shower cap and take your shower. The moisture inside the cap and the heat from the shower will make it more malleable for styling. Use some volumising mousse at the roots and let it air dry for a set do.
