20 Beautiful Hairstyles For Second-Day Hair

Slightly dirty hair works amazingly well when you're dealing with waves and braids, so try both—like Christa B. Allen. After scrunching texturizing spray through damp hair, part hair down the center and create a small braid at each side of the head.

If you're feeling a bit self conscious about your oily roots, learn from Kirsten Dunst and add a hair accessory like this black ribbon. It covers roots and looks great when paired with a little bit of height at the crown of the head.

Tracee Ellis Ross always looks elegant—and this gorgeous braided style works on both curly and straight hair alike. Simply deep part hair and start two French braids on both sides of the head. Once the braids have reached the back of the head, hair can be gathered into a low chignon. The oils from unwashed hair will prevent any flyaways.

If your hair is REALLY greasy—like maybe it's fifth or sixth-day hair—lean into it and comb it straight back, like Arden Cho. Seal with a coat of hair spray, and voila! Simple and chic!

Bangs like Kerry Washington's pose a challenge when one has slightly greasy hair. Instead of caving and washing your entire head, rinse your bangs in the sink with only a teeny bit of shampoo to refresh them. Blowdry, and voila—an amazing fringe in two minutes!

One of our favorite things about lived-in hair? It's extra shiny, as Emma Stone demonstrates. Comb yours into a loose side bun for a style that's gorgeous and relaxed.
