1. Revive sweaty, limp strands with dry shampoo. No time to hit the showers? Disguise sweaty strands by spraying dry shampoo into your roots and along your hairline. For extra volume, flip your head over, and spray underneath your mane.

2. Tame tousled strands with a messy side braid. Running around on the soccer field can leave your hair a tangly mess. Own your hair's messy texture, and try a loose, side braid like Emma Stone's. It's not supposed to be perfect, so no one will know you didn't have time to brush it before class.

3. Spritz perfume in your hair. Sweat and grease can leave your hair smelling not so great. Pretend you just left the hair salon and not the locker room by spritzing it with hair perfume. We love Pink Sugar Hair Perfume for the subtly sweet smell it leaves. 

4. Hide flat, sweaty strands with a boho-style headband. Hide the fact that the top of your hair is totally flat from sweat by rocking a headband over your forehead. So chic!

5. Smooth your ends with dry conditioner. Smooth frizzy by applying a little dry conditioner on your ends. Kardashian Beauty Take 2 Dry Conditioner is super lightweight, but will leave you with ton of shine. 

6. Tame flyaways with dryer sheets. Grab some dryer sheets from the laundry room on your way out of the house in the morning — they'll save your hair after gym class. Just swipe them over your strands for a smooth, static-free finish.

7. Stick your head under the hand dryer. You might not have a blow dryer handy, or the time to use one anyway. Just spray your hair with a little bit of water and pop under the hand dryer. The blast of air will cool you down, and refresh your 'do.   

8. Prep your hair before you leave the locker room. The best way to avoid messy hair after gym class is to prep it beforehand. Spray dry shampoo around your hairline to soak up any sweat and grease while you're breaking a sweat. Then, pile your hair on top of your head using a no-crease hair tie for class. When you shake it out, you'll have sweat-free, messy waves.
