3 Heatless Summer Styles
Seven-minute morning hair: 3 heatless looks for the dog days of summer!
Seven minutes. No hot tools. Salon-worthy finish. Here are three foolproof, heatless styles for the dog days of summer that get you out the door fast — and keep your hair healthy in the long run.
✨ 1) The Airy Rope Braid Wave (all lengths past the shoulder)
Prep: On dry or barely damp hair, mist a leave-in and a touch of lightweight mousse through mids to ends.
How-to:
- Split hair into two low sections.
- Twist each section away from your face, then wrap them around each other like a rope.
- Secure at the ends; do your makeup.
- Undo and rake with fingers; finish with a pea-sized cream to break up the wave.
Why it works: Twisting compresses the cuticle without creasing, creating soft, modern waves in minutes.
✨ 2) The Sculpted Claw-Clip Sweep (bob to long)
Prep: Work a puff of dry shampoo at the crown for grip.
How-to:
- Gather hair at the mid-back of your head as if making a low pony.
- Twist upward, fold the tail down, and secure with a medium claw clip.
- Tug gently at the crown for lift; pull two face-framing bits free.
Pro tip: For fine hair, dust a root-lift powder at the part before clipping.
Why it works: Strategic tension plus powder = instant volume and a clean silhouette that looks chic all day.
✨ 3) The Satin-Sleek Top Knot (any length that reaches a bun)
Prep: Smooth a dime of lightweight oil from mids to ends; brush through.
How-to:
- Flip your head, gather a high pony, and secure.
- Twist the tail, wrap around the base, and pin.
- Mist a soft-hold spray and glide hands over flyaways.
Upgrade: Sleep on a silk pillowcase to reduce frizz and keep tomorrow’s knot even smoother.
