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.
