How do you hide a bad hair day? Share your tips!

By -
Last week I had one of my worst hair days in history (since I had the frizzy "before" hair from Princess Diaries during my entire junior high experience). My hair is curly and long. If I let it do it's thing and keep the bangs under control, my hair usually looks at least presentable. But last week it wouldn't do anything. I don't have many hats or much patience for detailed hairstyles so I struggled and the bad hair won.

I tried all the typical options: ponytails, buns, headbands, scarfs, clips and so on. (I ultimately washed my bangs and found a bun my hair would agree to, but I still didn't love it).

What are your tips for taming a bad hair day? Do you have any go to hairstyles or favorite products? Do you just deal with it and let it go?

I hide my bad hair days with beanies and hats. I also wear half wigs.

I usually go to a simple French Twist. It turns bad hair into sleek elegance.

I do my best to pull it back or hide it under a hat. To avert eyes from the hair horror, I'll wear a bold lipstick or big jewelry.

Oy. I put it up.

If it's any consolation, your hair probably didn't look as bad as you think it did.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
