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.

Tipsy Topknot
A shellacked topknot disguises unwashed hair with its intentionally sleek finish. Make the hairstyle even better by bringing the bun forward and to the side so it sits on top of a particularly greasy patch. Try Paul Mitchell Firm Style Super Clean Sculpting Gel, $20, for plenty of hold.

Double Twist
Headbands will not let you down when you want dirty hair to look fresh. Even a thinner headband can distract from greasy parts. For the freshest look, pop the band on the front of the head and tease the back. Coil the ends into two twists. It's a more striking look than pigtails.
