Having a selection of headbands to handle no-wash days is a smart move. Different placements will keep the look fresh. Try a thick headband placed slightly off center and over the ears. Tuck the rest of hair into an updo. Greasy roots? What greasy roots?

Braid and Twist
Adding texture to a look helps offset the plastered effect of day two (or three) hair. Braids are an easy way to boost volume. Take things to the next level by styling hair in boxer braids then twisting lengths back around themselves. Finish by pinning the pieces at the back of the head. The 'do has body and draws the eye to the less greasy back of the head. Clever.

Sculpted Pony
All it takes is some hair product to turn oily hair into a sophisticated wet-look hairstyle. Liberally apply gel to strands then sculpt locks into a retro-inspired wave on the side of the head. Secure the ends in a low ponytail. Bonus: The style helps tame frizzy ends.

Cute Kerchief
There are lots of ways to fold a hair scarf besides a headband. One popular style from the Spring 2018 runways was a kerchief. A patterned kerchief securely fastened under the chin has major Old Hollywood vibes and conceals did-not-have-time-to-wash-my-hair roots.

Behemoth Barrette
Like headbands, hair clips draw the eye away from greasy roots. The larger the hair accessory, the stronger the impact. Try a big barrette fastened to a wet-look half updo. People will be looking at the hair accessory as opposed to unwashed roots.
