What should you not do?
If your hair quickly becomes dirty, there is an important event ahead, and there is no time to wash your hair, then, first of all, you need to forget about curlers or electric curlers. Trying to create volume this way will have the opposite effect.
The hair will quickly become heavy and hang near the face in even “dirtier” icicles than it was before styling.
The second common mistake is using a large number of aids
It is important to remember that mousses, foams, varnishes, gels also weigh down the hair. Therefore, you need to use them in moderation, helping to fix the style with hairpins, hairpins, elastic bands or bobby pins, and apply products little by little or completely abandon them

How to use dry shampoo
It is painfully simple to use - you need to vigorously shake the bottle and then spray its contents onto your hair.
You need to apply dry shampoo from a distance of approximately 20-30 centimeters and, remember, without fanaticism, do not get carried away and apply it too much. Then massage your hair a little, distributing the shampoo over its entire length.
After a few minutes, comb your hair thoroughly to completely remove the shampoo (for combing it is better to use a fine-toothed comb, otherwise particles of shampoo have a good chance of remaining in the hair).
Also, it is worth remembering that dry shampoo cannot fully replace regular liquid shampoo, although in emergency cases it has already saved many girls and women.
If you don't have dry shampoo, don't despair. For the same purposes, you can use any degreasing powder. Powder, powder, talc, flour or starch for light hair and mustard powder for dark hair. Use any of these powders to rub your hair at the roots and then comb it well.
But it’s much more correct to not allow your hair to get dirty very quickly. To do this, you need to take good care of them and wash them properly.
Very thin hair
Another common problem is thin, thin hair. It looks like there is hair, but it’s as if there isn’t. You won’t get any volume from them, they become dirty a couple of hours after washing, you won’t be able to braid a thick braid. What hairstyles will make your hair a little thicker, at least visually?
1. Twist the curls
Yes, nothing better than beautiful curls has yet been invented (if you don’t take hair extensions into account). Curls give your hair extra volume, and it no longer seems so thin and lifeless. To get neat curls, use good old curlers. It is clear that you need to tinker with them longer, but your hair will not suffer from a hot curling iron.
2. Backcomb
As you already understand, backcombing is generally a remedy for all problems. In fact, not everything is so rosy: backcombing is harmful to your hair, and it is not recommended to do it every day. Therefore, when you really want volume, do not tear your hair at the roots - lift it, step back from the roots by 3-5 centimeters and begin to carefully and slowly comb strand by strand. The volume must be natural, otherwise others will think that you have been electrocuted. And don’t forget to fix your hair with a good styling product (many options can be found at ILE DE BEAUTE).
3. Bun on a roller
What's good about a roller bun? Everyone will think that you have a lot of hair: what a big bun you have! And the fact that the hair is wound on a foam rubber circle - no one can even guess about this.
4. Braids for the night
Essentially the same curls, only very small and very voluminous. Braid a few thin braids (5-6 pieces) before you go to bed, and in the morning you will get voluminous wavy hair.

Reasons for rapid hair contamination
If you eliminate the reasons that cause rapid hair contamination, you can maintain a beautiful hairstyle for a longer time. The main causes of the problem:
- Excessive scratching. If you comb your hair more than 3 times a day, sebum is distributed too actively throughout the hair.
- Daily hair washing. You can't wash off sebum all the time. In this case, it is produced in excessive quantities due to the need to restore the normal condition of the skin. Increased fat content also extends to the hairstyle.
- Excessive use of gel and varnish. These products attract dust and fine dirt to the hair. Therefore, by the evening your head becomes dirty.
- Incorrect use of masks and balms. They should not be rubbed into the scalp - this provokes excessive oil production.
- Active use of a hair dryer. Hot air dries out the scalp. To restore and soften the upper epithelial layer, the skin produces excess fat.
If the problem arises due to internal disorders, such as hormonal imbalances, lack of vitamins or disruptions in metabolic processes, then medical intervention is necessary, and not just temporary masking measures.
- The main reason for this hair condition is detergents and care products. Sometimes they may contain various chemicals that thin the hair. They can lead to split ends and hair loss. This also applies to varnishes, styling products, paints and so on.
- In addition, hair is damaged due to improper care. If you want to increase their volume, then you should treat them with care, like the most fragile vase. You shouldn't wash your hair every day, even if your shampoo calls for it. Each hair on the head produces special oils that cover it with a protective film. Try to dry your hair without using a hair dryer, styler or straightener, and don’t wrap it tightly in a towel, just blot it and let it dry naturally.
- Do not comb wet hair, but instead of a massage brush, use a comb or a simple wide-toothed comb to avoid pulling out hairs.
- If you like to frequently change your look by changing your hair color, then remember that frequent dyeing, highlighting, lightening and other procedures lead to loss of volume, brittleness and hair loss. It’s better to stop and be yourself, besides, it’s fashionable now.
- Irregular haircuts lead to more dull, brittle and lifeless hair appearing, and as a result, the hairstyle loses its fullness.
- It has been scientifically proven that the condition of hair is also affected by poor nutrition, bad habits and lack of vitamins. When going on a diet, you need to remember that a lack of proteins and other nutrients will not add thickness to your hair. Lush and beautiful hair is the result of a healthy, balanced diet, including all the necessary trace elements, minerals and vitamins.
- Thin hair is also caused by the environment: intense sun rays, wind, frost, snow, pollution and harmful substances, such as chlorine in swimming pools.
- Don't forget about stress. It deprives us of peace and sleep, and our hair of volume and beauty.
How else to disguise dirty hair?
You can use simple tips from Internet users who recommend performing the following manipulations:
Create root volume on the hair, which will remove excessive greasiness from the hair. Create a voluminous hairstyle, avoiding smooth, sleek hair. Put a scarf or braid on your head and model a bright image. If your hair is dirty, you can wash only your bangs; this manipulation will already create a well-groomed look. Apply alcohol to a towel and blot your hair, then dry with a hairdryer. Squeeze lemon juice and use a tampon to “walk” through the shiny strands, leave for 10 minutes and dry the curls
It is important not to forget that lemon has a lightening effect. Experts advise that in order to prolong the cleanliness of your hair after washing your hair, you need to choose the right temperature conditions for water and air.
Do not use hot water, but dry your hair naturally

Hairstyles for medium dirty hair
Shell hairstyles are the fastest option for medium or long length hair; they will require bobby pins for fixation.
Vertical “shell”
Tilt your head and shake your hair vigorously. Comb the top strip in a straight line from the forehead and ears, creating full volume. Divide your hair in half with a vertical parting at the back of your head. Twist a rope from each with the base at the back of the head. Wrap the right one with a roller along the parting so that a roll is formed, secure the middle from the bottom with a pair of bobby pins. Repeat the procedure with the left one, pressing the roller tightly against the first one and covering it a little. Hide the tip of the first roller. From the rest, wrap a beautiful loop over the strands.
Round “shell”
Comb a straight strip of top hair from the forehead. Apply “wet” styling, avoiding this streak. Twist three to four strands, pulling all the hair except the backcomb. Place it on the back of the head in circular turns, collecting a “shell”. Secure with bobby pins and hairpins.
Boho chic
Crinkle about ⅔ of your hair and fluff it up, comb it at the roots, and the rest along the entire length. Braid one loose, wide braid like a wreath along your forehead from ear to ear. Place the second thinner and shorter one in a semicircle on the top of the head. Bring the ends together at the side and secure with a large flower clip or bow.
French charm
Make a side parting. Wet your hands with water, just a little for a “wet” effect. Remember your hair by crumpling the strands in your hand. Wait until dry, then lightly tousle.
Hairstyle for dirty long hair
Slavic morning
Comb your hair intensively at the roots, clean the comb of oils, and comb to the ends. Divide your hair crosswise along the line above your ears. From the bottom half, start weaving a tight braid using any technique from the back of the head, creating a diagonal slope, leading it to the shoulder. Secure with a thin elastic band. For a brighter look, you can weave a thin ribbon and tie a bow from its end.
Retronaches
Make a lush backcomb at the roots. To do this, take a small strand and pull it behind your back, parallel to the floor. Stepping back 10-15 cm from the head, run a fine-toothed comb through your hair to the roots 3-5 times. This will add volume and provide effective styling. To complete your hairstyle, wear a not too thin headband.
Scandinavian motifs
Do not comb your hair, in the middle along the line of the ears, comb a few strands at the roots, beat with your hands. Braid 10-15 thin braids in random places. Do not secure them with rubber bands; lightly spray the ends with varnish. Use your fingers to fluff the hair again.
Corrugated bow
Work the corrugated hair well along the entire length, selecting small strands, fluff with your fingers. Secure a high, loose ponytail, leaving the hair to lie freely over the head. Wrap the elastic band in a thin strand and secure with a hairpin. Divide the remaining hair from the ponytail into three parts. The central one should be three times smaller than the equal side ones. Fold the side ones into soft bow loops, cross the hidden ends, and tie them with an elastic band. Wrap the remaining strand tightly around the center of the bow, securing and closing it. Secure with several pins.
How to hide long hair under a wig
Packing a thick, waist-length braid under a wig so that the strands don’t come out and stick out in all directions is not an easy task. Wigs are bought not only to hide the lack of hair, but also for a complete transformation, vivid experiments with images, and sometimes for a radical change in image and lifestyle.
If you don’t mind giving up your long locks, dyeing, straightening or curling them, it’s enough to buy a wig with short hair. This is an inexpensive, comfortable way to change your appearance without harming your own hair. There is only one question left - how to put your long hair under a wig?
Here's how experts advise doing it:
- Braid your hair into three “dragons” (if your hair is very thick, there can be 4-5).
- The braids need to be distributed evenly and all the strands in them must be carefully picked up.
- The ends of the braids need to be pulled to the back of the head and secured there with hairpins. Lonely hairs can be “combed” with gel.
Hairstyle options
The basic rule when creating a hairstyle that disguises dirty hair is to avoid slickness and smoothness. Lush hairstyles will help to visually hide the flaw.
Bouffants
Light backcombing gives volume to the hair and makes it more airy. The strands closest to the face, especially the bangs, become dirty the fastest. Due to contact with the skin of the face, they quickly begin to look greasy. For many women with oily hair, these curls become dirty just a few hours after washing.
By combing the front strands and bangs, you can veil the flaw. To do this, you will need a wide-tooth comb, a little hairspray and a bobby pin. Combing is done at the roots. Then it is sprayed with varnish and the upper strands are slightly smoothed. To secure, you can use bobby pins, hairpins, headbands or scarves.
Ponytail
Lightly combing the front strands and then pulling the hair into a ponytail will also help disguise the flaw.
In order to distract attention, it is recommended to use auxiliary objects:
- headbands;
- large hairpins;
- scarves;
- bows, etc.
You can create another version of this hairstyle, when only half of the hair is collected, leaving the lower part loose. Thanks to the fact that part of the ponytail will cover the oily roots, this will also help hide the blemish.
Braids
If you braid your hair in a spikelet, dragon, fishtail, French braid, or using another type of weaving in which the curls begin to gather from the bangs or from the top of the head, then dirty hair will even become a plus. In this case, the strands will not fluff up and will allow the hairstyle to last throughout the day.
They can, like a ponytail, be done only on the upper curls, leaving the lower part of the hair loose. Braids should be braided tightly, but after braiding, pull out the strands on each bend of the hair
This will not only distract attention from the flaw, but will also make the hairstyle more sophisticated and modern.
Retro style
For lovers of vintage looks, retro-style hairstyles are suitable. These hairstyles require some skill to create, but the results will be beautiful. No one will even notice dirty hair, if you think about the flagella, curled curls and elegant wavy bangs.
The basis of retro hairstyles is curly styling of bangs and front strands of hair. For example, you can twist your hair into plaits and hide them under a headband or secure them with hairpins. You can also create a huge curl of bangs, fixing it with a small amount of hairspray and bobby pins.
Messy hairstyles
It will easily help hide oily hair and “careless” styling. After combing and fluffing your hair, you need to collect it in a slightly “disheveled” bun, ponytail or shell. Such options turn out to be voluminous, airy and light. For thick hair, it is best to comb only the front strands, collecting the rest in a ponytail or bun. But those with thin hair need to backcomb their entire head. Stray curls, unevenness and some carelessness in styling make such hairstyles modern and very elegant.
How to hide your hair and wear a wig: a checklist from experts
Adjust your wig size
To do this, try it on, and then reduce or increase the size of the cap using the elastic bands that are inside each product, in the back of the head.
It is very important from the very beginning to choose a wig of your size, since not only your appearance, but also your feeling of comfort depends on how it “sits” on your head. Too small will constantly move out or put pressure on the temples. Too big will cause the eternal worry of “is my hair in place.” Your hands will naturally reach for the extensions to “sit” them in place.
Experts recommend shopping in a specialized
wig store , where you can not only touch the product, but also try it on and choose the perfect one in size, color, and design.
Put on the mesh
It performs several tasks at once:
- Holds hair securely. No matter how high-quality bobby pins and hair clips you use, there is always a risk that a bang or a strand of your hair will slip out from under the wig. With a grid such an embarrassment will not happen. It also prevents your own hair from getting tangled under the wig.
- Keeps the wig from slipping and moving during the day. This is especially true for women who move actively at work or go to a dance party. The mesh material is completely non-slip, so any movement of the artificial hair is excluded.
- The mesh creates a small layer between the wig cap and your head, so it allows the skin to breathe. This barrier reduces perspiration, and if you do sweat, the mesh will absorb moisture, keeping the wig clean much longer.
IN
At the Parikof store,
for every wig purchased, a mesh wig is given as a gift, because we want our customers to look impeccable and feel comfortable every minute.
How to wear long hair under a mesh wig:
- Pull the mesh, starting from the back of your head, gradually collecting all the hair under it.
- The front edge of the net should reach the natural hairline.
- Distribute the hair under the cap so that there are no “humps”.
- For reliability, secure the mesh with bobby pins.
The same mesh can be used for different wigs. It is made of hypoallergenic fabric, has a universal size and is easy to wash.
Putting on a wig
Start pulling it with both hands, from the hairline on the forehead, slowly and carefully spreading it over the entire head to the back of the head. Customize your hairstyle to suit you. Make sure that the wig sits symmetrically and does not slide down onto your forehead, below your natural hairline.
If you feel that the product does not fit tightly, secure it with bobby pins in the temple area, taking the mesh and your own hair. Make sure that the bobby pins are not noticeable and do not spoil your hairstyle.
All that remains is to arrange your hair beautifully and check whether it is the same length on all sides. If you did everything correctly, the wig will “sit” on your head like a natural one and will not cause you any trouble. If in doubt, remove and repeat the procedure.
Doing the styling
The wig's hair is combed with a wide-toothed comb or a massage brush. The styling option depends on the hair material:
- Kanekalon and modacryl are easy to model. These materials are based on an extract from seaweed, and the fibers themselves have a memory effect - they return to the shape specified in production even after repeated washing. Kanekalon wigs look natural and are not inferior in aesthetics to natural hair, while their cost is much more affordable. The only negative is that they cannot be curled and exposed to high temperatures.
- Thermal fiber wigs provide more opportunities for modeling and fashion experiments - they can be curled with a curling iron, straightened with an iron, dried and blow-dryed. Thermal fiber hair is devoid of artificial shine, it is soft and pleasant to the touch, does not cause allergies and is suitable for daily wear.
- Natural wigs are a perennial favorite, despite the price. With proper care, they last at least 3 years, look as natural as possible and allow you to change your hairstyle every day. Natural hair can be dyed and tinted, curled and straightened. You can make your hair smoother or more voluminous - it all depends solely on personal preference.
If the bangs are too long, this can be easily corrected right in the store where you purchased the wig. Bangs are usually modeled with a margin to suit any forehead height and face shape.
Hairstyles
Let's start with what you should never do: style oily hair with a curling iron. Use varnish and foam. It will only get worse. To make your hair look decent, you can save oily hair by:
- Ponytail. A hairstyle that has remained at the peak of fashion for decades. Attach a large hairpin, a bright headband, tie a scarf around the base, and pin it with a beautiful brooch. The more accessories catch your eye, the less attention you pay to keeping your hair clean.
- Backcomb it. It will add volume even to dirty, thin, sparse hair. With a backcomb you can create a bun or a retro style hairstyle. Even when collecting strands in a ponytail, you can pre-comb them.
- Braid your hair. Fashionable, stylish, if you lightly comb the parietal part, you won’t notice that your hair is oily.
As a last resort, use the recipe of German women of the late 40s of the last century, who introduced the turban into fashion. Wrap the scarf in an interesting knot and make a turban out of it. It will be stylish, beautiful and will cover your dirty head.
If you style your oily hair correctly, no one will know that it is in poor condition.
In such a situation, it is important to avoid mistakes that will lead to the problem becoming even more noticeable.
Styling allows you to quickly and effectively give your hair a neat look. You can use several methods - they help even in difficult cases. Hairstyles hide precisely those areas of hair that are most covered with fat.
Wet effect
The method is applicable if you can wash your hair the next day. After sleep, your hair will turn into an untidy sheaf, with which nothing can be done before washing.
Pin-up
This method of hair styling involves the use of a scarf, which will well hide a dirty hairstyle and will not even arouse suspicion among others. It should not completely cover the hair, but only partially cover it. The bangs need to be twisted up so that they form a roll and the forehead remains completely open.
Ponytail with a backcomb
You can disguise oily roots with this method if the ends are clean and the hair itself is quite heavy and dense. A backcombed ponytail can be done in 5 minutes. It is best to place it in the middle of the back of the head to hide all the dirty roots. Too high will greatly reveal oily roots, and low will not allow you to perfectly smooth your hair. A bouffant in the front of the head will disguise the dirtiness of the hairstyle up to the tail. The hairstyle looks feminine and gentle.
When styling Hollywood smoothness, the hair is combed in the middle, after which the upper strands are separated and pinned, and the lower strands are twisted into curls using curling irons. Then the same is done with the top layer of hair. After combing the curls with a thick brush, the hair at the roots is coated with a very strong gel and smoothed perfectly. Strands located near the face are tucked behind the ears and secured with gel or invisible hairpins.
Wet styling
It is suitable for short haircuts. To create the image, use a special mousse. It is applied to all hair. After this, they are combed with a very fine comb.
Bun and bagel
You need to comb your hair thoroughly with a wooden comb and make a ponytail on the top of your head using a thick woven elastic band. Separating a thin strand from the tail, make a bun. If you need a lush bagel, then before you form it, you need to slightly stretch the strands coming from the forehead to lift them. Also, for a donut you need to comb the tail.
When the bun or donut is ready, wrap the remaining bottom strand around the base. It is fixed in an inconspicuous place invisible.
Vintage style
Vintage hairstyle is suitable for those whose entire look is in retro tradition. You can't style your hair without skill, but if you succeed, your head will look beautiful.
For this hairstyle, you need to twist the strands in various ways so that they form rolls and waves. You cannot use a lot of styling products, as they will only make your hair heavier and emphasize the untidiness of your curls.
Braids and weaves
This is an option for long and medium curls when you want to hide oily roots. Heavily dirty strands will not seem clean even with this styling. It is worth braiding not ordinary braids, but voluminous and complex ones. You can also weave a scarf into them by wrapping two thick strands around it.
Various weaves and unusual crossings in the braid create volume that perfectly hides the fact that the head is dirty. To fix complex structures, it is better to use varnish rather than gel.
Hollywood smoothness
Another very simple and effective option. Believe me, your stale strands will look great in this style.
1. Comb to the center parting.
2. Divide the strands from the sides into several thin sections and curl them with an iron.
3. “Treat” the back of the head – lift the upper part of the hair up, twist it and pin it with a clip. Screw the bottom part. Remove the clamp from the strands, lower them into place and continue the process.
4. Comb your curls with a brush.
5. Lubricate the roots with a strong gel and smooth it thoroughly. Tuck the strands behind your ears. To make them hold better, use invisible ones.

This option is suitable for both long and short hair. Long, dirty hair can be left loose or pulled back into a light and casual hairstyle.
Headbands and bandages are well suited for these purposes. A boho hairstyle is easy to do, but looks very impressive. Simply lightly comb your hair on the top of your head, fix the style with hairspray, and put a suitable headband on top of the front strands.

How to wash your hair without water
Surely each of us has encountered such a situation: our hair is indecently dirty, there is no way to wash it, but we really need to put our hair in order.
There can be many reasons for this - the water has been turned off, you have been on the road for several days, in nature, or just visiting and are embarrassed to ask for a traditional “washing” of your hair.
In this case, dry shampoo will save us women.
Dry shampoo comes in a can of powder. Before use, you need to shake it and spray it on your hair at a distance of about 40 centimeters, then distribute it with massaging movements throughout your hair. Leave for 3-5 minutes to absorb the oil from the hair and comb through the hair with a comb. It is best to use a comb with wooden teeth for this. If you have a towel, dry your hair with it as you do after washing your hair normally.
Dry shampoos contain absorbent particles that absorb oil and dirt from the hair.
After using dry shampoo, your hair becomes clean and more voluminous.
Dry shampoo is for emergencies only. You cannot use this shampoo constantly and replace traditional hair washing with it. The hair will not be completely cleansed, will become dull and will begin to fall out.
Do not confuse dry shampoo sprays with other dry (solid) shampoos, which need to be diluted in water and used during regular hair washing.
What to do if you can’t buy dry shampoo?
Grind the oats into flour in a coffee grinder or food processor. Of course, you need to prepare such a homemade hair cleanser in advance and take it with you on a trip, pouring it, for example, into a salt shaker.
- Corn starch
- Wheat flour
- Baby powder
- Soda
How to use: Apply any of the above to your hair (mainly at the roots), massage thoroughly with your fingers. Let the oil from your hair soak in for about 3-5 minutes, then comb your hair thoroughly. And in order to completely remove the “powder” from your hair, dry it thoroughly with a towel and shake it.
For greater convenience, you can do this: pour flour, starch, soda or powder onto a massage comb and, carefully so as not to spill it, distribute it through your hair while combing. So repeat the required number of times. Leave for a few minutes, then comb your hair thoroughly, shake it and dry with a towel.
Keep in mind: sometimes it is difficult to completely remove the remains of flour, soda or powder from your hair. We'll have to try. Cornstarch is a little easier to get rid of.
The above methods are suitable for blonde hair. There will be a white mark on dark hair. So brunettes are better off using cocoa powder to wash their hair without water.
Reviews on the use of folk remedies for cleaning hair:
Alexandra. I took baby powder with me on the road. When my hair became very, very dirty, I sprinkled it on my head, rubbed it in a little and combed my hair. After a few minutes, she shook out her hair, dried it with a towel, and combed it well again. What can I say: the fat content has decreased and volume has increased, but of course my hair has not become completely clean. My hair is dark brown and there is a whitish residue on it, especially at the roots. The absorbed odors, including tobacco smoke, disappeared, but the hair noticeably smelled like powder and became rough.
Victoria. I tried using flour to freshen my dirty hair. The hair is dark and there is a trace of flour on it, like dandruff. And when you run it through your hair, flour remains on your fingers. But my hair became less greasy and more voluminous. This method will help out a little in a very critical situation.
Catherine. I don’t advise anyone to use flour, powder, or anything else. Out of curiosity, I conducted an experiment at home and was glad that I didn’t think of doing it in conditions where there would be no opportunity to wash my hair. What was the effect: the same dirty hair, only with flour (I tried wheat flour). It's better to just have greasy hair than hair that looks like it's covered in dandruff and smells like flour. I'll have to try dry shampoo. At least with a can you won't look more idiotic than, for example, pouring baby powder on your head. And such a special product is probably flavored somehow.
