4 Ways to Fix a Bad Hair Day with American Made Products
Don't fuss over making your hair happen, ditch the plan and pick a fix next time your hair has a mind of its own.
Hats
Hats can come to the rescue on more than just a casual day with a ball cap. There are dressed up hat styles too. You can avoid styling your hair at all with the right one. Something simple usually does the trick and looks completely cute, just as if you planned it, of course! Don't miss my tips on stylish ways to wear a hat.

Messy Buns
A messy bun will work great for a bed head day, as fly aways actually make it better. Defy the cowlicks and keep it whimsical. Your messy bun can be on the side, top or even pulled back. Finish it off with a little hairspray. My favorite bad hair day hairspray is Blowpro's Blow Out Spray. It is non-stick and smells fabulous.

Braids
Braids can be whimsical or chic. Whatever your tasks are for the day can guide you. Pulling everything back into a sleek braid is instant polish when you need to look professional. You can coil the braid into a bun too. Keep it smooth with a pomade like product. My favorite smoothing style product for braids is KENRA Texturing Taffy. It smooths with out the stiffness and is perfect for keeping braids looking fresh.
Dry Shampoo
Dry shampoo is the product to have on hand for those days when you wake up late and have no time to shower, or you have no time to wash and dry your hair. Dry shampoo is also an easy way to add volume to your hair. Don't miss our tips on volumizing hair with dry shampoo, and our list of the best dry shampoos available at Target.

Cute hat. I wear hats a lot! I find that as I get older bad hairs are happening more and more. Maybe I am just caring less and less 🙂
All of these products are very important! I do need hairspray all the time too.
Several years ago, after a long heatwave & bad hair days, I finally got tired of just pulling my hair back every day. I pulled out the scissors & started cutting, lol. Yep, I cut my own hair. (That tells you how fed up I was!) Fortunately, it turned out okay. I still do it. (Every so often, I try to grow it out again but it gets to that sad mullet stage & I cave in & cut it.)
It’s Friday… definitely a messy bun day!
Seriously want that cap!
A messy bun is my go-to. I have one in right now LOL!
I have a lot of bad hair days. My hair doesn’t like to behave. I also have a dry scalp, so hats are my “go to”. I have loads of hats for different circumstances.
