Six Hairstyles For When You Don't Want To Wash Your Hair
Abby Schultz

When you're a busy college student. Sometimes washing your hair isn't as high on your priority list as you might want it to be. But fear not, because you can still look super cute and presentable even when you skip a few washes! And truth be told, you really shouldn't be washing your hair everyday anyway! It's not good for it. The oils your scalp produces are good for your hair in the long run, but they can make your hair look less than its best in the moment. These are my go-to hairstyles for when my hair is looking a little greasy.

1. Classic High Pony

You seriously can't go wrong with a high pony. This one is so easy to do when you're running late.

2. Double French Braids

Alright, I'll admit, I don't actually know how to french braid. But even if you're in the same boat as me, recruit one of your talented friends to do this for you. Offer Chipoltle as a bribe if necessary.

3. Space Buns

I absolutely love this look and I feel extra confident whenever I wear it. It may look a little intimidating, but it's really not that hard. Start with high pigtails, tease your hair a bit, then start wrapping it up into a bun and pin it!

4. Sock Bun

Listen very carefully: Do not buy one of those bun maker/hair donut things! They are a total waste of money! It's called a sock bun because you should use an actual sock! Just get a crew length sock (knee sock for a bigger bun) and cut a teeny bit of the toe off. Then roll it up into a donut shape. This is your new best friend. Don't lose it.

5. High Pigtails

Channel your inner second grader with this fun look! This style is a great way to get out of a hair rut!

6. Baseball Hat

A baseball hat is your best friend when you definitely should have washed your hair, but didn't. No one will ever be able to tell that your hair is greasy because it is being concealed by the hat! Plus they come in so many fun styles it's easy to make a statement with your baseball hat!

With these six hairstyles, you can still look cute while saving some time in your routine!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
