Having a bad hair day? For God’s sake! Not today!? There they are, staring right back at you . . . your luscious locks look not-so-luscious, to say the least. You know you don’t have the time to go through the whole shampooing and blow-drying routine. Now you’re thinking this is going to be the worst day ever (pardon the exaggeration) and already have an excuse ready – my hair has a mind of its own!

Well, if you have experienced this, then high five girls! Welcome to the ‘We all have Bad Hair Days Club’.

How to manage a bad hair day?

Here are some tips that don’t involve hiding out from your colleague and friends. They are so awesome that they might change the whole melody to good hair days.

  1. Use dry shampoo

Well, if you don’t own this product, you should get it right away because it is a life-saver. It’s exactly what the name suggests – it’s essentially a shampoo, but one that you can dry-spray over your hair and you don’t need to rinse out. Spray lightly on the roots when lifting your hair and let sit a minute or two before brushing it out. It soaks up the excess oils from your scalp and also gives your hair an instant volume. Your hair will look fresh and you won’t have to think twice before running it over to tame flyways.

Consider getting a Pilgrim Sulfate Free Shampoo. This shampoo has three key ingredients – White Lotus, Argan Oil, and Camellia. With this, you will strengthen your hair, nourish the roots, and repair the damaged strands.

  1. Tie them in a ponytail 

Who doesn’t love ponytails? They look cute and take less than a few minutes. But, if you are thwarted with bumps, then apply heat or wet it out. You can also use the trick called double ponytail if you are running out of time. Gather the back section into a ponytail and secure with elastic, repeat the same with the front section. This trick will take away any unwanted attention from your bad hair.

  1. Braid them down

Accept it – they looked great on Katniss Everdeen and you know they look great on you. Braids actually look better in dirty hair and they infact hold better, you can play with so many different variations as well. Finish with a glossing spray encompassed with tight braids. Also, if you’re feeling a little trendy, go in for the side braid – it’s a red carpet look and it is super easy to do!

  1. Bun them up

Just that – bun it up! Buns always look better with greasy hair because there will be no fly-aways and works best when it is already a frizzy mess. In fact, the best part about buns is that the messier they are, the better they look. Hairagami is also a wonderful way to get a classy bun. Tease it out, swirl it around, and there you have!!

  1. Leave-in conditioner

Another great product is the leave-in conditioner. Hair that has not been washed for a day or two will only tend to get worse as the day progresses – oilier and frizzier. This problem is very common in the winter, you can use a leave-in conditioner to manage bad hair so that your hair stays soft and manageable throughout the day. The best bet to prevent frizz is to put the product in it before it dries.

  1. Accessorize

There are so many ways in which you can take the focus away from your hair! The best is to just hide it – wear a cap, hat, bandana, or scarf (if you can) to just not let the world know of your hair miseries. But if you can’t for some reason, embrace accessories such as fancy pins, clips, hairbands, or elastic bands. Use a couple of bobby pins, twist it in a cross design and hide it under your hair.

  1. Change your parting

If you don’t want to distress yourself with any of the above-mentioned exertions, then you can combat your bad hair day with this simple trick. You can simply change your parting if you usually part your hair on one side. The other side will have more volume or a better shape to strengthen your hair. You can also try the upside-down hair flip to give it a healthy look.

  1. Serum

Get yourself a good serum for unforeseen bad hair days. Dryness and frizz can easily be tamed with serum. The Pilgrim Argan Oil Hair serum is a quick fix for frizzy and dull hair. It will detangle your most difficult knots and give extra boost and conditioning to your hair.

The best way to avoid bad hair days is to know your hair type. If you have oily hair, you should use products accordingly and the same goes for dry hair. Hair loss, an itchy, and dry scalp deserve a doctor’s attention. Visit a trichologist to determine the cause. He will examine your hair and scalp to diagnose your disorder.

Dry Hair Tips

Some of the things you embrace as you live and work in a city are frizzy and dry hair. As common a problem it is, people often try to sweep it under the rug and pretend they are better off without the solution. Before you know it, the dryness worsens and becomes unmanageable. But ignoring your hair’s dryness can lead to complications related to the overall health of your scalp, as a rough exterior is often a signal towards the inner imbalances of the body. What you need to do is follow the dry hair tips mentioned in this article. While pollution and exposure, coupled with internal oil balance are the leading causes of dry hair, here are some other reasons why you may be experiencing the frizz this season:

  1. Overheating your hair with appliances like straighteners, curling irons, and blow dryers.
  2. Using hair products with the wrong composition.
  3. Washing your hair extensively.
  4. Overuse of hair colors or bleaching agents.
  5. Overexposure to sunlight and UV rays.

You can restore your hair to its original shine and texture with some doable tips and routines. Here are a few dry hair tips:

 

  • Stick to your regular hair trimming sessions

 

The easiest way to maintain your hair’s health is to trim the dry ends away. Your hair needs to be freed of its backend lugging, and hence, regular visits to your hairdresser are just what you need to bring your hair back to its health. 

A quick trim can remove the split ends and free your hair of the excess weight, thus making sure your hair sports a shiny and healthy shape.

 

  • Avoid sulfate-based products at all costs

This is one of the most important tips for dry hair. Check out the composition of the hair products you use and eliminate conditioners, masks, and shampoo with sulfate in them. As harmful as this particular chemical is for application, it also thins your hair and robs it of its texture and shine.

Get the Pilgrim Sulfate-Free Shampoo that contains three primary ingredients – Argan Oil, White Lotus, and Camellia. It will help strengthen your hair, fight off dandruff, soothe the scalp, and repair the damaged strands.

 

  • Avoid rinsing your hair during hot showers

 

The more you douse your hair with hot water on a regular basis, the more they lose out on their shine and essential oils. Hot showers may give a relaxing experience, but they may be costing you your hair’s moisture. 

Switching hot showers with lukewarm baths are the wisest thing you can do, both for your dry hair and the environment. 

 

  • Limit heat exposure from blow-drying and hairstyling equipment

 

Ever tried to run a plastic cover through your hair straightener? Don’t think the result would be delightful! Well, your hair is just as delicate and susceptible to damage. Constantly running them through heat equipment can create a moisture deficit and burn the hair resulting in dry, frizzy hair. 

To pivot to your hair’s original moisture, you have to limit its exposure to artificial heat and avoid it altogether if possible. Simple! 

 

  • Use hydration hair care routine

 

Hydration must be a priority in your haircare routine. A great way to do it is to adapt to the Shampoo-condition routine. In it, begin with lathering your wet hair in shampoo and then let the clean hair absorb the moisture of the conditioner. 

Remember, you need to take your shampoo to the scalp for a proper cleanse, but you shouldn’t take your conditioner anywhere near it—you must apply it only to the strands and the tip of your hair. 

 

  • Use hair masks regularly

 

Hair masks are different than your regular conditioner. They are made with rich and rehabilitating ingredients with heavier concentrations such as lipids and natural oils. You can leave the hair masks on your hair, for a considerable amount of time to work its magic on your hair. The Pilgrim Argan Oil Hair Mask can bring a healthy bounce and shine to your dull hair while protecting it from UV damage and environmental pollutants.

Those interested in solving their issues with dry hair can use hair masks twice a week.

 

  • Make hair serums a part of your hairstyling routine

 

A hydrating elixir or serum can work wonders on your dry scalp by adding additional amounts of nutriment to your routine. Once you have washed your hair, you can apply a bit of serum on your wet hair and comb it through for a glossy finish and manageable hair. We recommend the Pilgrim Argan Oil Hair Serum that is the perfect blend of Argan Oil, White Lotus, and Camellia. It helps provide your hair with extra conditioning and gloss.

 

  • Get a silk pillowcase

 

This may sound odd, but sleeping on a fabric that is soft and won’t cause friction in your hair is actually quite smart and purposeful. Cotton cases and sheets also absorb moisture out of your hair, leaving them dry and frizzy for the day to come. 

A bonus, you will feel like a total luxury waking up every day. 

 

  • Keep up with the oil messages

 

While you amp up the cleanser and the coating, it is also a good thing to go back to the roots and have oil messages that both replenish your scalp and soften your mid-length edges. Oil massages also stimulate your scalp’s blood circulation, all the while relaxing your nerves and body. 

An oily scalp attracts a lot of dirt and dust, and hence, it would be ideal to wash it off after a few hours.
