You woke up refreshed and ready to go — until you looked in the mirror and saw that bed head. Breath easy, here are six painless ways to get back on track. 

Try Dry ShampooSo, you're having a bad hair day. We've all been there. First things first: Why are you having a bad hair day? Is it because you didn't get the chance to wash your hair? Never fear! Dry shampoos will rid you of any grease, while giving nice texture and life to flat, slept-on tresses.

The Low, Loose BunGo from gross to gorgeous in a snap with a low, loose chignon. The true key to this look is to keep from trying to make it too perfect. Just pull your hair in a low ponytail, secure with an elastic band, and wrap in a circle while placing a few bobby pins in the base to hold. Voila, chic!

The High BunFor a different take on a bun — and an instant facelift — create a bun at the crown of your head. Gather hair in an elastic at the top of your head, wrap your hair in a circle, and place bobby pins to hold. The Spin Pin by Goody is a great way to keep this bun in place — one Spin Pin does the job of 20 bobby pins!

Add A BarretteWhen in doubt — deflect. Fool your friends and acquaintances into looking at the beautiful accessory in your hair, not your overall bad hair day. A colorful scarf, vintage pin or feather barrette will draw attention away from that crazy mane of yours. I'm telling you, it works every time.

Bring Out The Flat IronIf you wake up looking like a snarled mess and have an extra 5 minutes, don’t discount a quick once-over with a flat iron. The heat of the iron will close the hair cuticle, creating a much shinier appearance while smoothing out any kinks caused by that crazy dream you had about Clive Owen the night before.

Braid it if you have chin-length to long hair, a simple braid will pull your hair off your face and add keep you from the hair blahs. Experts should try a French or fishtail braid, but if you are lazy, like yours truly, simply create a small braid starting around the temple area on each side, pull back and connect with an elastic band. Add a pin or ribbon for the perfect finishing touch.
