How to Fix Your Hair When You Are Late for School

You can still fix your hair when you are late for school.

If you are running late for school, the last thing you want is to turn up in class out of breath and with your hair looking an absolute mess. Although you might not look perfectly groomed if you missed your alarm or were delayed in the morning, there are quick and easy ways to make your hair look presentable.

Things You'll Need

• Hairbrush
• Dry shampoo
• Bobby pins
• Hair spray
• Accessories, including hair bands, clips, alice band, clasps

Instructions

1. 

   A quick spritz of dry shampoo can make all the difference.

   Spray the roots of your hair with dry shampoo. Massage the dry shampoo and comb through with your finger tips before brushing. Dry shampoo is available from most drug stores and is a time-saver for mornings when you do not have time to wash your hair. It soaks up grease, is scented and some brands are designed to enhance your hair color.

2. Hide flyaway strands of hair with a hairband or clip back. Accessories come in many shapes and styles; whether you go for a classic, plain head band or an on-trend piece, there's an accessory to disguise your messy hair. Just add a spritz of hair spray to keep your chosen accessory in place.

3. Gather your hair together and scrape back into a high ponytail. Secure tightly with a hair band and pin sections of the ponytail in a bun shape. Use bobby pins to grip the hair and leave a few pieces out to achieve the messy look.

4. Make a low ponytail for a laid back look. Pull your hair together at the nape of your neck and secure with a hair band, leaving out an inch thick section. Wrap this section of hair around the ponytail and secure in place with a bobby pin. Spritz hair spray to keep the hair in place.
