Sweaty Hair

Dealing With The Summertime Curse of Sweaty Hair

We’ve all felt it, after a night spent tossing and turning, battling summer temperatures: the dismay when we look in the mirror and see slick strands of hair hanging down from a moist and greasy hairline. Here at Flip-In Hair, we are determined to equip you for any seasonal hair care challenges that life throws at you, so let’s delve into ways of dealing with the unpopular sweaty hair phenomenon.

Tackling The Scent Of Sweaty Hair

Interestingly, it’s not the act of sweating that produces a rank and embarrassing smell. A buildup of sebum, product, dead skin cells and sweat mixed together nurtures the natural bacteria residing on your scalp and produces a stink. Leaving it to accumulate and then air dry contributes to a long-lasting and rancid smell, so washing your hair is crucial, although you don’t want to dry out your locks by doing it too frequently.

If mere shampooing in the shower is not enough to vanquish the smell, there are a variety of traditional remedies you can try, such as using essential oils, aloe vera or even lemon juice. Healthline dissects the different solutions and matches them with specific conditions that may also cause a sweaty scalp, so if you suspect your hair smells for a different reason, be sure to check them out!

Prevention And After Care

If you’re headed for a session or activity where you expect to end up with sweaty hair, you can take preventative measures which lessen the probability of sticky tresses. Firstly, wear a sweat-wicking headband to absorb moisture at your hairline or go the full way and cover up with a headscarf or bandana, a stylish solution which also protects your scalp against bleaching and sun damage.

Secondly, use dry shampoo before exercising. Like your headband, dry shampoo will absorb excess sweat and oils, leaving you looking and feeling refreshed. Follow up afterwards with a styling mousse or stay-in conditioner, to replenish the stock of moisture that the sweat removed from the scalp.

Hairstyles To Conceal Sweaty Hair

Life happens. It doesn’t always leave room for a convenient shower or for applying dry shampoo. Try out some of these cute and practical hairstyles to hide what’s really going on underneath.

A ponytail is a classic, suggesting sports and activity as well as keeping your hair neatly out of sight. However, braids do an excellent job of weaving strands together so that no one can see how limply the hair is hanging down. The brilliant thing about braids is that they are limitless – French braids, Dutch braids, crowns, pigtails, updos…You can even wear your sweaty hair down when you sweep a greasy fringe away from your face with some tiny twists or intricate plaits.

Alternatively, rock the look with messy topknots or wacky space buns, especially when dressing in sportswear that says you don’t care. You are active, you are fun and you are making the most of this summer weather. No one’s going to argue with sweaty hair in that scenario!

Easy Halloween Hair

Easy Halloween Hair

Halloween is quickly approaching and if you’re anything like us, you aren’t prepared in the slightest. No need to worry though, we have plenty of ideas for easy Halloween hair. Some of them don’t even need a costume to go along with them. How handy is that?!

 

Cat Ears

Listen, we’re well aware that cats are overdone BUT hear us out. Using the Flip-In Ponytail, you can create a cat-ear look with your actual hair. Throw away the boring cat-ear headband and make a little more effort this year.

Who said you couldn’t use your makeup to create an even more exciting look? The best part about being a cat is that you don’t even need to head out and buy an outfit. Everyone has an all-black outfit hiding in their wardrobe for an occasion just like this!

 

Harley Quinn

You’ll need an outfit for this one but it won’t be anything too extravagant. A simple white vest and a pair of denim shorts will suffice. Using Flip-In Flash, create the perfect Harley Quinn Halloween look with our pink and blue colours!

This is a simple Halloween costume to put together and you’ll be able to spice it up with cool makeup. Use pink, blue and white to draw stars around your eyes and wow everyone at your Halloween party.

 

Easy Halloween Hair- Pumpkin

This is an easy-to-do look that requires no special outfit. Use Flip-In Flash (or an orange hairspray) and make a high bun to give your hair a pumpkin effect.

Add a high bun with a hair donut. Use the Flip-In hairpiece or some hairspray to get the perfect colour for that pumpkin effect. Finish with little plastic spiders and a spider’s web to give that creepy-crawly craziness for Halloween.
