10 Ways to spot someone's bad hair day
Under wraps
Wears a cap or a hat making it look like it's a trend when the truth is, an attempt is being made to hide 'it'.
Cold cross buns
Of course we all wish our hair would just flow or cascade or ripple in waves, but since none of that is happening the victim just ties it up in a bun, hoping no one will ask.
All frizz and no fizz
There are times when nothing seems to work, not even the best gels and holds. So just allow the impudent to do their own thing - get all frizzy and poke out in all directions.
Not slick, just oily
Hair so greasy it looks like it hasn't been washed for a week. In some circles it would pass for artless art.
In a bird's nest soup
For a moment, you wonder what's that thing on her head ... till you realise it is hair on a bad hair day.
Out on a limp
Hair is so dry, it could crackle any minute, like a bolt of lightning.
Clowning around
Hair seems to be stuck out in all directions, wilfully, giving the appearance of a wig on a clown having a good wig day.
Simply doesn't gel
No amount of gel can help the truth be glossed over. Despite what looks like a sheen of style, it's all a gel-oh attempt to tame the tresses. Hair looks so wet you look out the window to see if it's raining.
Face the truth
The mirror never lies. So if you see a really sullen face on a bright, beautiful day, don't ask, 'What's with the face?' Maybe it's a bright, beautiful day but it's a bright, beautiful, bad hair day.
At a smart clip
There are so many bright clips and barrettes and hair accessories covering the hair that you cannot really see the hair for the decor.
