First of all your hair doesn’t have to be down to look dressed up. There’s nothing wrong with wearing a ponytail on Yom Tov! Hashem created everyone differently and if your hair is oily that’s okay. Instead of wearing your hair down with a headband you can wear a ponytail with a nice barrette or bow.

But if you have oily hair and want to try to keep it down for as long as possible here’s what to do:

• Shampoo your hair twice before Yom Tov making sure to rub it very well.
•  Do not use conditioner!
• Before you go to sleep put your hair in a ponytail at the top of your head using a scrunchie. Don’t use a ponytail holder because it will leave a mark.
• In the morning take out the scrunchie and your hair will fall down looking fluffy and beautiful!
• During the day I suggest wearing your hair in a half-pony or pulled back with bobby pins to minimize the chances of it becoming oily. 

Here are some more tips from Yocheved for taking care of your hair for a special occasion or just any day
