Before we begin where does bed head come from?
1. Going to bed with wet hair
2. Moving and turning too much during sleep
3. BAD pillow, soft pillows are prone to give you a more “AIR head” your hair feels light and soft due to the static charge built up while rolling in your bed. Where as HARD pillows tend to give your hair a more FLAT feeling which can be good in some cases like a FAUX HAWK. COROLLARY finding your ideal pillow is NEEDED.
Solution?
So where to begin, lets say you just woke up look at the clock its 8:15am OH SHIT you have 15 minutes to get dressed, eat, shower, and most importantly do your hair! Since you are unable to take a shower due to the fact that it WILL take WAY too long you have left with the option of changing your smelly clothes and doing your hair. From doing your hair there are a few ways that you can manage from this point.
1. Straighten your hair : Why? ITS FAST EASY and makes you look NEAT. Straighten–Clay–Style–HairSpray if neccessary DONE.
2. Put water in your hair and dry it off with a towel: WHY you have dandruff get that stuff off EW >_>. After that your roots should be some what “loose” therefore applying products at this point would be quite fast and efficient. WATER–TOWEL–STYLE DONE.
3.REUSE the products: If you dont wash your hair like most of my friends do EVERY NIGHT you will no DOUBT have products left in your hair YOU can use that to YOUR advantage… how? simple reapply water and your products should be good as new (or old in this case) and then bam your hairs spikey or whatever you like it to be style it–straighten–hair spray DONE.
4. MOUSSE: Using mousse and QUICKLY blow drying it indeed make your hair MUCH lighter bed head comes from uneven leveled hair therefore if you make ALL your hair stand up then from there it should be a pinch to STYLE.

I do that too, pour water over my hair when my hair looks like crap. When I wake up I have one side with volume and another flat so I just wet the side that isn’t bouncy. Than I sometimes quickly dry my hair with a towel, srcunch it up, and blow dry it firmly with low power dry-speed.
and my hair looks ALRIGHT

Depending on the hair type, yeah I’d say the reusing works. I’ve done it once when I was at a party and fell asleep in the kitchen. I woke up and re moulded the wax in the bathroom. Worked out pretty well.

wash ur hair (SHAMPOO) before applying anything.. it’s like sai mentioned.. there will be oil on ur hair, and if there is a layer of oil on ur hair, then ur wax will be applied on that layer of oil, not on ur hair. thus, bad hold.
if you use wax, then the “reuse” tip wont work. If you use gel or freezing spray, then you can reaply water. but reaplying water on wax won’t work. but it depends on wax too i guess

Hmm it works with gatsby (most of them) and clays. hair spray and gel you cant reuse it comes off hair to easily. Thanks for the tips though its really interesting to read real comments once in awhile

Hmmm…not bad of a guide.
I don’t agree with #2 that much though.
Water in hair = Oil
No one likes the oil look, but I’m sure
that this guide was for quick ways to get
in-and-out the house while looking good.
Just don’t over do #2 ppl.

Yes, this is actually the routine I made myself during my university life, like during the first year I remember it was so stressful doing perfect hair and spending 30minutes on it in the morning so I worked around time and tried to speed everything up. Yea.. i do agree with you #2 isn’t the BEST solution but it is one for people who are rushed/stressed =)
