Hair Dryer-Free Hairdos

Some days, it's just nicer to give your hair a break from all the heat you give it, whether from blow-drying, flat ironing, curling or whatever. But how can you go from towel-dried hair to looking stylish enough to leave the house? The first step is to have the right haircut. The beachy, wavy look is very hot right now, and the best way to achieve the look is to start with medium-length layered hair. A few wispy bangs frame the face well with this look, too. Towel dry hair and apply a volumizing cream. Scrunch hair in your hands and let dry. Once dry, comb through and smooth some anti-frizz serum on flyaways. Spray, scrunch and you're good to go! If you'd like to add a thin headband for pizzazz, you can do that with this do. Feel free to take it into a loose ponytail at the nape of your neck if you'd rather. If you're in the mood for an updo, then a sleek, tight bun is always elegant and in fashion, especially with the ballet-inspired trends that are hot right now. Ponytails are perfect when you don't feel like drying your hair. Towel dry and apply smoothing cream from the roots out to the tips of hair. Slick back, leaving out one small section of hair. Secure with an elastic, and wrap the extra section around the elastic to conceal it.
