7 Heat-Free Hairstyles to Save Your Hair

Ballerina Babe

For a super sleek look, comb down any flyaways or edges using a toothbrush coated with hairspray or gel, depending on the thickness of your hair. Mist the bun with hairspray to lock it in place.


Braided Chignon

This style looks like you put in a lot of time and effort, but all you really need are some basic braiding skills. Bonus: it adds beachy waves to straight hair and loosens tighter curls when you take it down, so it’s like two hairstyles in one.

French Braid

Another great option: a tried-and-true French braid. To up the volume, add a little texturizing powder or spray, like the Garnier Fructis De-Constructed Texture Tease, to your hair prior to braiding. After you finish your braid, pull at the crown of your hair to loosen the style and remove a few strands in the front to give it a messy yet chic look.

Fishtail Braid

If you’re tired of the classic French braid, a fishtail braid might suit you better. It’s easy to do — it only takes about five steps to complete — and looks great on air-dried hair.

Plush Pony

This simple take on a ’90s bubble pony adds flair to your standard ponytail. Simply pull hair back into an elastic and fasten a second elastic at the bottom of the tail. Pull out two face-framing pieces to complete the look.


Half-Up, Half-Down

This style looks great on any texture and is easy to achieve with just a couple bobby pins or one fun hair clip. Simply twist or braid two face-framing strands and join them in the back of your head.
