how to avoid bad hair days

We've gotten a lot of mileage out of "bad hair day." The term conjures up a comically unfortunate hairstyle, an anomaly for someone whose hair is normally at least presentable, if not stylish and dignified. Why do bad hair days happen? How much of it is meddling and mistreatment, as opposed to bad luck? Who's to blame? Anyone? Some higher being?

Does the phrase resonate with us because of our inclinations to boil all of life's problems down into a relatively trivial, unrelated complaint? Or does it resonate because something relatively minor can overwhelm and ruin our day?

First of all, you must make sure that you aren't just projecting your unrelated, larger issues onto perfectly innocent hair. Take a few moments to reflect on your day. Is your hair to blame? If it helps, take a picture of yourself right now and compare it to a picture of you on a good day. Does your hair look any different?

If you're certain that your hair is indeed bad today, then it's time to diagnose the problem and see to it that the mistake is never repeated.
If your bad hair days become increasingly common, you run the risk of turning them into... normal hair days. Typically, the reason for this will be the condition of your hair. Is your hair too oily or too dry? Both extremes can definitely cause bad hair days until you nurse your hair back to luscious health. To do this, you must modify your hair products, grooming habits and nutrition. Read our articles about how to care for dry hair and oily hair. Right those wrong tresses!
Sometimes a new hairstyle can cause bad hair days. People often have to wait for several days or maybe even a couple weeks before their new style grows enough to look good. Sometimes the bad hair days continue as the hair grows. If you can't shake the bad hair day, then you should get your hair styled for a second time, by a different stylist. If the bad hair ceases as the hair grows, then observe how long your hair must be in order to look good in that style. The more guidance and detail you can give a hairstylist next time, the more you can avoid bad hair days in the future.
