Beauty experts believe that we should be washing out hair around two to three times a week.

But if you have a whole routine which includes washing, conditioning, blow drying and straightening, having a few hours taken up by this can be quite boring.
So it’s no wonder why beauty fans go viral after revealing their tips and tricks to help your hair last longer without having to do the dreaded hair wash day.
Fashion fan Soph has recently shared a beauty trick which will help those who easily get greasy hair, and it costs as little as £2.
Soph took to her TikTok page ‘So Stylish Soph’ to share her trick with her 167k followers.
Talking to camera, she says: “This is how to style your hair when it is really greasy, and it’s hair wash day but you can’t be ar*ed to wash your hair.”
Soph first starts off by grabbing a comb, and using the pointy end of it to split her hair into a straight line parting.
She says: “I am just going to centre off a middle parting here.
“I’m just going to try and get it as straight as you can.”
Soph then brushes through both sides of her hair to make sure it is smooth and knot free.
She says: “I’m just going to brush through my hair because I’ve woken up, and I haven’t even brushed it this morning.
“I am just going to do a really easy, simple bun.
“First off, I’m just going to get my hair up into a ponytail.”
Soph does this by using a hair brush to brush it back into her hands.
She says: “It doesn’t have to be brushed into place, just literally get it up.”
Soph then gets a wax stick, by OPV, and costs £2 from Amazon.
This hair product varies in price, but can also be bought from stores including Boots and online store LookFantastic.

Soph demonstrates how to use the hair stick.
She uses the balm end to slick her hair back, before using a brush to slick back all the strands of hair to make it smooth on the head.
Soph continues: “So I am just going to put this just on the roots.”
Talking about using a brush to slick it back, she says: “It’s mad, it just makes your hair look perfect.”
Soph then repeats on the other side of her head.
She says: “This is just like a little hair wax, it is just amazing. It keeps your hair in place all day.”
She then gets a hair band, to tie it all in place.
Soph adds: “Because it is hair wash day, I am going to put a hair mask in.”
Soph then applies the hair mask to her ponytail, before twisting it around and placing it into a bun and applying an additional hair band to securely tie it in.
The video has attracted thousands of likes, with many rushing to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One said: “Why do I always look like I am unwashed if I try and slick it back?”
Soph replied: “I do until I put makeup on.”
Another complimented Soph and wrote: “I wish my hair looked this good when it’s greasy and minging.
“Plus how do you get that volume? My hair is so flat and boring”
A third added: “Why does this look so good on you, when I always feel I look like a greasy mess? You’ve proved me wrong.”
