Loose bun hairstyle: Prior to sleep comb your hair and remove all the tangles from your hair. Flip your hair and take it all on top of your head. Gather all the hair, like you do to make a high pony tail and roll it into a loose bun. Secure the bun with a loose elastic band and you are good to sleep and wake up with gorgeous tangle free hair.

High pony or loose tail hairstyle: This one is a simple yet fabulous hairstyle to sleep in. Brush your hair well and tie it up to a high pony or a loose pony and sleep through the night. Make sure that the elastic you use  to secure the ponytail is a very soft one so that it will not break the hair strands. If you feel uncomfortable with the high pony, you can tie a loose pony and leave it on.

Wrap it up: A scarf or a cap will be great help for this wrap up hairstyle. The benefit of this hairstyle is that the hair will be all covered up and you do not need to do anything to your hair as well. Pull all your hair up and wrap the scarf around it and just slip off to sleep. The other way is to neatly put your hair inside a loose night cap and leave it like that and go to sleep. Your hair is safe and neat and you will wake up with tangle free hair.

Beach waves hairstyle: The super glam beach waves are so much in demand these days and you really do not have to spend a bomb to have them on your hair. Well! All you need is an overnight hairstyle and viola- next morning you have your own sexy beach waves. For this you need to wash your hair before going to bed. Then dry them well. Spray your hair with texturizing spray. Then part your hair into 4 to 5 small sections and braid each of those sections and tie them with small elastics. Sleep well and next morning untie the braids and shake the waves loose with fingers and just spray another round of hairspray and you have your sexy waves, just as easily as that.

Tips:
It is good to use a satin pillow cover as there is very less chances of hair breakage on satin cloth as opposed to the regular ones. If you are using a band to tie your hair then make sure it is very soft ones preferably of elastic or else they may damage your hair badly.

Headbands: If you have short hair then you can try headband style. It will help to instantly take away the attention from your bad hair.

Half French braid: This is a very happening trend these days and it suits perfectly to hide your messy hair. French braid your hair at the back till the nape of your neck and pull it all to make a low ponytail or into a loose bun.

Hide your tresses with a hat or bandana: You must have noticed several celebrities sporting a trendy hat or with a bandana on the head. Well, they probably had a bad hair day which is why they have opted for a hat or bandana. All you need to have is a bandana or a hat that goes with your outfit and you are done. Simply comb all your hair into a bun or a pony and wear a hat or cover it all with a bandana.

Points to note when you have a bad hair day:

1. Never brush your hair. When you brush your hair it will distribute the oil through your hair which will make it greasier as well as stringy. You may put some hair powder or use dry shampoo before you comb your hair.

2. Curl your hair if you have a bad hair day. Curling your hair will give some bounce and body to the hair.

3. Use a dry shampoo as this helps to absorb the oil and also in bulking up the hair. It will also make it easier to style your hair.
