Some days, we wake up with the boundless energy and productivity levels of a thousand Energizer bunnies. Most days, however, are not like this. No, most days, we form a close bond with our alarm’s snooze button, and forgoing our morning shower seems a small price to pay for a precious few more moments swapping hair secrets with Mr. Leto (in our dreams, obvi).
On mornings like this, you have two choices: leave your second-day hair down in its dirty, raggedy glory, or take advantage of its textured state and try a cool new ‘do. (We recommend the latter.) Need ideas? We’ve got eight. Keep scrolling for easy hairstyles that make second-day hair look amazing!

The ultimate lazy-girl hairstyle, this looped half-bun is perfect on mid-length hair. Spray some dry shampoo on your roots and rub in with your fingers, then loop the top third of your hair into a mini bun—simple and so much more interesting than your go-to bedhead waves.

Some fishtails are perfectly braided—this isn’t one of those. Gather your hair into a low ponytail, leaving two two-inch pieces hanging at your crown. Braid your low ponytail into a messy fishtail, then wrap the two strands left around the hair elastic. Confused? Click here for the full instructions.

This bubbled pony is ideal for textured second- (or third-) day hair. Just spray a texture spray or dry shampoo from the middle of your hair shaft to the roots, then secure clear elastics along your low ponytail, pulling each section apart to create a “bubble” effect.
