1. Start with the Best Shampoo & Conditioner for Your Hair Type
If you want to pull off second day hair then you need to stay away from moisturizing formulas unless your hair is truly dry. That includes shampoo and conditioner duos that have words like sleek, silky, or frizz control in them because all of those will add oil into your hair which is something you don’t want. Instead, choose a shampoo and conditioner that work well with fine hair. Volumizing formulas are usually a safe choice. There’re also new formulas of shampoo and conditioners that’re formulated with oxygen for fine hair.

Girls with fine hair often struggle to get the second day hair look they desire. To achieve this look, it's important to start with the right shampoo and conditioner. Volumizing formulas are a great choice for fine hair as they help to add body and texture. Additionally, there are new oxygen-based formulas specifically designed for fine hair which can help to add volume and lift.
When selecting a shampoo and conditioner, it's important to stay away from moisturizing formulas as they can add oil to your hair, which can weigh it down. Instead, look for a shampoo and conditioner that are designed for fine hair and will help to add volume and texture.
It's also important to remember to use the right amount of product. Too much shampoo or conditioner can weigh your hair down and make it look limp. To avoid this, only use a small amount of product and focus on the roots.
2. Only Condition the Lower Portion of Your Hair
On the subject of conditioner, apply lightly. Fine hair can’t handle the weight of heavy conditioners and this’s a product where a little dab will do you. Also, be careful where you apply conditioner. You never want to apply it to your scalp or the few inches close to the scalp. Instead, start about your ears and work the conditioner down your hair.

3. Become Buddies with Dry Shampoo
If you haven’t discovered dry shampoo then you’re missing out. Dry shampoo is a miraculous hair product that enables you to stretch the time between shampoos and adds texture to your hair, making it easier to work with. Spray dry shampoo onto your hair, mainly concentrating on the roots. It soaks up oil and refreshes your hair. I like to hit mine with the blow dryer for a couple minutes after spraying dry shampoo in.
4. Change Your Expectations of Day 2 Hair
Part of your frustration with your day 2 hair may be your expectations. Day 2 hair isn’t going to be squeaky clean. It’s going to be a different head of hair to work with than freshly shampooed hair. But it has it’s advantages. It’s a little silkier thanks to natural oils and it’s usually got more grit which gives your hair better hold when you style it.

Day two hair can be a great way to get a different look without having to go through the hassle of washing and styling every day. With the right approach, you can get great second day hair for girls with fine hair.
The key to embracing day two hair is to accept that it won’t look the same as freshly shampooed hair. Instead of expecting perfect, bouncy hair, accept that day two hair will have a different texture. It’s usually silkier due to the natural oils that have built up, and it also has more grit, which can give it better hold when styling.
To get the best second day hair, start by using a dry shampoo to absorb any excess oil. This will help to give your hair a bit of a refresh. Then, use a leave-in conditioner to help keep your hair hydrated and add some shine. You can also use a light hairspray to help hold your style.

The natural oils produced overnight can add a bit of grip and volume, making it the perfect base for updos or messy buns. Embrace the versatility and experiment with new styles.
6. Updos Are for Day 2
If you’re really struggling with second day hair, remember this rule. Updos are perfect for day 2 hair. In fact, have you noticed that when you try an updo on freshly washed hair and it usually slides right out? It won’t do that on day 2. Go for your favorite updo, whether it’s a messy bun or a polished twist.
7. Don’t Play with Your Hair
You can keep the oily issue under control by not playing with your hair. This’s because you’ve got natural oils on your hands that transfer to your hair when you play with it. Style it and leave it alone. This can be hard to do if you’ve had a long time habit of playing with your hair. But it’s worth the effort to break the habit. Your hair will stay styled much longer and be less oily.
