Blow Off the Dryer: Air-Dried Hairstyles
Do you ever feel like you’re a slave to your hair dryer? You can still have a good hair day without the assistance of a blow dryer. It’s simply a matter of getting creative with your lovely locks. For example, why not ride the waves this summer? Nothing is as sexy and sultry as a head of naturally wavy hair. Achieving the look is simple. Following a shower, divide damp hair down the middle toward the top of the head. Then use a comb to pull the rest of the hair straight back. This is to add volume to the head. Add a small blob of mousse to the hair. Separate the hair into six or seven small sections and braid each area. Then twist the braids into small buns and wrap with an elastic. Then spray the roots with a volumizer. Wait 10 minutes and then undo the buns.
Rub a small amount of texturizer through the ends of tousled hair. For tighter curls, divide wet hair into sections from both the top and bottom layers. Braid the hair tightly. Leave braids in overnight. In the morning, undo the braids and shake out hair and voila. Want to make the most of bed head? Spray wet hair with styling spray. Comb through hair. Add a small amount of gel to strands of hair. Sleep on hair. When you wake, flip hair, tousle it and your look is complete. Finger curls are another heat-free alternative. Apply styling cream or conditioner to damp hair. Work through each section and twirl hair around your finger one by one. Experiment and determine which direction produces the best results for your hair. Once hair air-dries, spray with a small amount of hairspray to lock in curls.
