Mane Ideas: May You Never Have Another Bad Hair Day
by Sephora Staff

A hair nightmare can be defined as any type of tress trouble that after ten minutes of trying to fix, causes you to loose your cool - gum in the hair, static cling, a chronic case of the frizzies. While there are hundreds of different types of hair nightmares out there, we asked some Sephora staffers to tell us their top four, figuring if it happens to them, it happens to you, too. Here, foolproof solutions to get them (and you) through the hairiest situations.

DuWop Venom

Hair nightmare: You overdosed on styling product.
Solution: Take a dry hand towel and literally rub the excess product out of your hair. A simpler solution: pull it back.

Try: Sephora Snag-Free Hair Elastics, $3.50

Two Faced Lip

Hair nightmare: Your hair has a severe case of static cling.
Solution: Gently rub hair with a dryer sheet from root to end (though we're told it can leave an overbearing scent behind), or generously spray your palms with hair spray, then run your hands down your hair from root to end.

Try: Frédéric Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray, $22.50

Hair nightmare:Serious split ends-and your stylist is booked for the next two weeks.
Solution: Fake healthy hair by applying a silicone-based serum to the ends and blow-drying them under.

Try: Terax Original Gloss, $20 and Sephora Small Styling Hair Brush, $28

Hair nightmare: our hair is fried from heat styling - not to mention the hot summer sun.
Solution: For starters, give your hair a break from the blow dryer. Allow it to dry naturally, or for the flat iron obsessed, try heat styling every other day. Also, treat hair to an intense conditioning treatment weekly.

Try: Rene Furterer Carthame Intensive Oil Treatment, $30 (contains nourishing oils and vitamin E to help restore suppleness and vitamin E to help restore suppleness and shine)
