34 Hairstyles For Dirty Hair, Because Who Wants To Wash Their Hair In Winter Anyways
Washing your hair can be a chore. Washing your hair in the winter can be literal murder. Dry out my desert-like scalp even more with clarifying shampoo? I don't think so. If you're trying to cut down on your winter hair washes, here are 34 hairstyles for dirty hair that will make your greasy roots look intentionally runway ready.
I think we'd all rather spend an extra 15 minutes rolled up blankets in bed like the tasty burritos we are, rather than jumping in a shower that may scald us to death during and turn us into icicles after. I'm not recommending that you go full-on stinky in the winter time. Showers are important for washing off the grossness of the day and the sweat that accumulates under numerous layers of heat-insulating clothing. However, wet scalp during the wintertime is a particular type of evil. And if you immediately blow dry your hair after showering, you risk making your dehydrated winter hair even more crispy and straw-like.
If you let your hair air dry, you'll be forced to experience an ice cold scalp that will send shivers down your already freezing spine. So why not just avoid this no-win conundrum altogether by skipping the shampoo and opting for these shortcut hairstyles instead?
