Have you ever been told that dirty hair actually works better for most hairstyles? Well, it is in fact, very true! Same goes for dying, the colour will stick to your hair better when it is dirty.

1. A thick braid. The thicker, the better! It is a perfect way to hide away your unwashed hair. Starting at the top of your head, use a teasing comb and create some volume and texture. Next, gather your hair at one side of your head, making sure to leave some strand out at the top on both sides to give a “messy” effect. Loosely braid your hair with three sections, starting at your neck. Keep the braid loose at the top and tighten it as you get further to the end. Secure the braid with an elastic that is the same colour as your hair.  If the braid is not loose enough, you can go in and separate some of the braid gently by pulling both sides. The idea is to make it look like a careless hairstyle.

2. Top knot. An easy way to pull your hair up with a few pins. Start by flipping your head upside down and gathering hair at the crown of your head. Secure with an elastic band. You will want to keep your hair messy, the messier the better! If you have a lot of layers, add a bit of pomade to your pony to keep loose strands in place. Next, take the pony and twist it around the base of your pony to create a bun. Finish by securing in place with bobby pins.

3. Wavy pony. Adding a bit of curl or wave to already dirty hair will hold better then if it were clean! Start my dampening your hair with a bit of volumizing spray and blow dry with diffuser. This will help create waves. Next, taking a 2-inch curling iron, curl your hair in random sections to give some more texture. Try to stay away from tight curls, as you are just trying to create some waves. After you have created enough texture as you would like, gather your hair in low side ponytail. Preferably at the nap of your neck. Secure with a elastic band the same colour as your hair. Try keeping a few strands out of the pony around your face to give a loose pony effect.
