Hair emergency

[vvviola]

It's my work Christmas party tonight. I couldn't make my hair appointment today (was only planning on a blow dry) and my hair is a disaster.

I have dry shampoo, some hair clips a hair brush and nothing else.

I have shoulder length dark frizzy hair that is in need of a wash. It's currently in a bun.

Is there anything I can do to make me look half respectable? Or, even, a little bit smart/party-ready?

What's wrong with a bun? I'd leave it as it is. I don't think people will be paying that much attention to your hair.

It's a bit severe looking. I had planned to have my hair down to look a bit more relaxed.

(I know nobody will be pay attention to my hair, but I'd kind of like to look a bit nice. People do go all out for the party - two of my staff are going home to get hair done & change before coming back in)

I'd keep the bun personally.

what about a low side bun? It will look softer

Can you acquire a small hair elastic, add half a can of dry shampoo and go for a half up do?

dry shampoo, back comb the roots a bit (you may not need to but my hair is quite fine), put up in a poufy, slightly punky beehive bun - looks glam but deliberately messy and positively benefits from being done on slightly grubby, dry shampooed to buggery hair

It's going to have to be a bun. A bun looks better than shoulder length frizzy hair.

Yes, slightly scruffy but deliberately so bun. There are tutorials on youtube.

Thanks went with the slightly scruffy bun but not as severe as the one I had at the start. The dry shampoo actually managed to sort out some of the worst friziness too, so I think I looked fairly decent.
