It's hard to strike the right balance with my hair. If its freshly washed, its usually too soft to style, and if it's not, it creates this lovely greasy-at-the-roots-dry-on-the-ends look. Exactly what you want.
However, I have discovered a few products that make managing second day a hella lot easier, and actually make it look pretty damn good, if I do say so myself.
The first thing I do is attack my hair with my Tangle Teezer, I don't know how but my hair seems to tie itself in knots whilst I sleep, and this is buy far my favourite brush. Knots out, I like to spritz a ton of the Dove Refresh + Care Dry Shampoo right into the roots, and I mean a ton. I go to town with this stuff, and then leave it for 10 minutes or so whilst I do my makeup, to absorb any oils, before brushing it through again. After that, I take a pea sized amount of the Percy & Reed Finishing Polish through the lengths of my hair. This stuff is the absolute BOMB, it's like a de-fluffer and hairspray in one, it gets rid of any frizz and flyaways, whilst adding a little hold into your hair. Whether my hair is straight or curly, this just makes it look so much more polished and perfected!
Normally I stop there but if my hair has developed any weird kinks overnight, I've gotten into the habit of artfully pinning hair out of my face and over kinks. I like to think of it as artful, but I probably just look totally nuts. Anyway, Boots do extra long grips which are fab for this!
And if all else fails, just go for a messy bun!
