According to a study, those who have bad hair days suffer from lower self-esteem than those who feel good about their hair. The kicker of it all is that males seem to be even more affected than females — how about that?
When my hair is acting up, I usually opt for a ponytail and will often try out a more dramatic makeup look to compensate. It looks like Scarlett Johansson covers her hair with a beret, while Britney Spears favors a disheveled mish-mosh of an updo. What's your go-to style when your hair won't cooperate?

When I'm not at work or going out at night, I am a ponytail addict!
1Ponytail all the way! I try to compensate with dangly, funky earrings and more interesting make-up. My hair is getting too long to do much else at this point but I hope to remedy that soon!
2Ponytail. But now I cut my hair short so I can barely put my hair back... I'll have to find a new method.
3I usually just work through them, because I look stupid with my hair up. But if it's really bad, I'll do a scarf or a cute little hat. NEVER a baseball cap. NEVER!
P.S. I actually own that hat Scarjo has on and I wore it outside today. It's from Urban Outfitters.
4All of the above
5All of the above!
6It depends on what I'm wearing.
7A messy up-do works everytime!
8And if I do it when my hair is damp and wait and hour and take it out my hair will be all nice and curly too!
If i am all casual then i would just wear a cap.
9If at work some ponytail or messy bun
I have short short hair so the only remedy is a hat. I have tons of cute hats though so it works out...
10I part my hair to the side and put it in a fashionable bun. And sometimes I will add a headband if I'm in the mood.
11I really don't have troubles but when I don't feel like doing a lot with my hair I put in a sleek ponytail (no scrunchie, lol!) Or I'll wear a cute beret or newsboy cap but that's usually to go with an outfit, not hide my hair.
12My hair is short now..so its hard for me.
13Ponytail, updo with a clip or a hat when walking my child to school.
14I don't have hair troubles.
15I can't answer that survey because while I often wear a beret or scarf, I would never wear a baseball cap! That's a fashion deadly sin for me.
16French Braid.
17Baseball hats are CHAV
18I braid my hair on each side and then put a bandana on. Then i kind of tuck my braids up under the back part of the bandana that hangs down in the back. This works great (and actually looks quite cute) when i have bad roots or a funky wave in my hair that looks bad. Im not much of a hat person. Ponytails are okay if my roots are still okay....lol.
19Ponytail - and usually a bit of eyeliner
20A nice tight bun can never do me wrong.
21WASH IT!!!!!!!!
22Any style except for Britney's hair-do in this picture. Gawd! She is gross!
23I like to do a side part with a tight, low chignon. It always looks nice, plus keeps my hair out of my face. My hair is so long that even when in a ponytail, it gets in the way, plus a high bun ends up hurting my head because its so heavy. Ah, the hazards of long hair.
24I do all of them. Depends on just how bad the hair day is.
25all the above!
26Beret in winter, messy updo otherwise.
27Curly or straight a pony is my go to.
28I love a sleek bun as it looks very classic and keeps messy hair out of the way.If the look is too harsh, try a loose tendril near your forehead curled loosely with a blast of quick heat from a curling iron.
29A NEAT ponytail. Not Britney-style.
30My hair is too short to pull back, so I'll use a couple barrettes.
31am sooooooooo not into pony tail so i would definately cover it up with something
32ponytail with a messy top.. and then maybe a headband like those stretchy kinds.
33a lot of spray or gel on my bad hair days (-_-) those day suck!!
34i'm with syako, again, on the short hair thing! hats are the way to go! although i don't go that route too often since it's really easy to wet my hair down and start from scratch!
35I take it back, twist it and stick a clip on it
36If i'm having a really bad hair day and i know i won't need to take off the hat, then i go with a beret/beanie. But if it's not that bad i go for a messy updo or sorts and hair band for extra control
37My hair is wavy to curly and sometimes can get a bit unruly. When i don't have time to straighten it, i just pick it up in a nice bun.
38I just chopped off my long long hair to chin length so i dont have this problem anymore...but i used to be a ponytail girl
39Wash it agian and start over. : )
40I almost always put it back in a Braid when it's long. I just had it cut to stop myself from being such a slacker. Now it's a bun or a messy bun. Ponytails hurt my head.
41Britney's bad hair day's makes my bad hair days look stunning. I also have longer hair and am overdoing the ponytail thing it's just too easy.
42Ugh. Britney. Get some good extensions for a change.
I normally go for a bun or ponytail when my hair acts up. I need to get some cute hats and scarves. I love that look.
43I don't know if it's even considered a bun, but yeah I either pull it back into a low ponytail or do this twirl thing that's a pseudo-bun I guess...
44A pulled back twist, but not totally messy. Just a bit undone.
45I usually just throw it up in a messy bun or Ill pull all my hair to one side of my head and braid it
46Poor Brit-Brit. I'm tired of that hoodie since the first time..
47my hair is pixie short. lucky for me that means less bad hair days. i can add bare escentual's mineral veil if it's too greasy with product or more fred fekkai coiff wax if it needs more shape.
