It's Wash Day...but you've got places to be!!! No time to air dry? No time to blow dry? Don't fear, here are our top 3 Wash Day hairstyles for when you just Ain't. Got. The. Time!
High Puff
One of the quickest and easiest Wash Day Styles to achieve. Using an elastic headband, pull your hair up onto the top of your head and tie the band when you have reached your desired hair puff size. The tighter you pull the band, the smaller your afro puff will be. Take care not to pull to tight to protect your edges. Jazz up this style with a funky headscarf.
Slick Bun
Quick and easy. Part your hair from ear to ear so that you have a top and bottom section. Place some gel around the perimeter of the bottom section and tie with a hair band. Create your desired parting (or no parting) on the top section and repeat. Gel hair down, brush it back until you are happy and use another hairband to add it to the bottom section for that slick look. You should now have 1 ponytail. Create your bun and...crucial step...tie your hair down with a silk/sating scarf for at least 10 mins, the longer the better. *To avoid crunchy hair, add an oil on top of the gel before tying your hair. Done!
Elastic Bands
Many say elastic bands pull your hair out, but that's only if you remove them incorrectly. It's safer to just cut them out. Do this and you (or shall we say your hair) will be fine! There are many elastic band hairstyles that are perfect for wash day. Find some inspiration online or get creative with your own styles. They can be complex geometry or as simple as you please. The most important thing for this style is clean parts.
