Spice up your headband with this super easy hairstyle.

08. If you frequent the sauna, use that time to deep-condition your hair.

Just massage in your regular conditioner and put on a shower cap. The heat will help the conditioner really penetrate into your hair.

10. If you have especially thick hair that takes forever to dry, try “half-washing it” in the sink.

Most of the oil begins with the scalp, so you’re washing away the grease that’s causing the flatness in half the time! This trick is also great if you get greasy bangs.

11. This messy bun takes 10 seconds and also works better on dirty hair.

12. Not only is this hairstyle great if you’re growing out your bangs, but it takes 10 seconds.
