Hair | 5 Ways to Wear Dirty Hair

Over washing your hair can leave your hair dry and brittle. By minimizing the number of hot styling tools and showers, you can expect longer fuller hair in no time.

Dry Shampoo

Before you start creating your dirty hair looks, I always use dry shampoo. Many dry shampoos have talcom powder which is directly linked to breast cancer. To find an organic, non toxic drypoo check out the Think Dirty App™ . Here I use Rejuva Mineral dry powder.

Apply drypoo to your roots and rub into your scalp to absorb the oils with your fingers. Make sure to get all roots in the front and top half of the head.

Create a middle part in your hair line. Tuck the hair framing your face, slick back behind your ears. Place hair in a pony in the middle of your head. Pull hair in pony horizontally and then vertically.

The bun is my favorite go-to dirty hair style. It can be used for any occasion, can be uber neat or super messy, and I love to resemble my inner ballerina!
