Everyone has those days where they don’t really know what to do with their hair. It may be a wash day or your hair is not laying nicely that day for whatever reason. A lot of people turn to heat tools in these situations to fix their hair, but that does not always have to be the solution. Using styling tools too often damages your hair, which you should avoid if you want to support healthy hair growth. These are some heatless hairstyles that you can try when you’re having a bad hair day that won’t hurt your hair.
- Slick back ponytail or bun
The slick back hairstyle has taken the internet by storm. It is the perfect hairstyle to opt for when your hair needs a wash, but you just don’t have the time for it. The classic option for a slick back is a ponytail or bun, but there are also creative versions of this hairstyle that involves a braid or a braided ponytail. Overall, it is a very versatile hairstyle, so here is how to do it.
Start by parting your hair down the middle with a comb. Then, brush your hair and gather all of it into your hands. If you want more of a slicked look, add some hair mask into your hands before brushing it. One option is the Kazani Revitalizing Hair Mask. It is the best hair mask for adding nourishment to the hair, which is amazing to use for a slick back as the product will sit in your hair throughout the day and soak up the benefits. After adding some of the hair mask, use a comb and brush your hair into a ponytail, making sure it is as smooth as possible and there are no bumps. Then, tie the ponytail. It can be a ponytail that sits high or low on your head, just as long as it is smoothly gathered. Now you have a slick back ponytail!
You can leave it as is, or you can create a bun from the ponytail. If you want to do that, wrap your hair around itself and secure it with a ponytail. Make sure that the bun looks sleek to continue the slicked image. Another option is to braid the ponytail. All in all, this is a classy, timeless look that is perfect for a day where you are planning on washing your hair later.
- Braids
Braids are a classic and versatile hairstyle that also protect your hair from breakage. There are many different types of braids you can do when you are looking to change up your hairstyle.
The first one is just a classic braid. All you need to do is separate your hair into three strands, and cross one strand over the other, taking turns between the three strands. Once you’ve reached the bottom, just secure it with a hair tie! You can also add some hair oil and let it sit in your braided hair throughout the day, allowing your hair to absorb the benefits. The Kazani Intensive Hair & Scalp Oil is the best hair oil for this as it hydrates and strengthens the hair and provides nourishment to the scalp.
The next braid style is classic braided pigtails. This one requires a little more skill because instead of a regular braid, it is a French or Dutch braid. To start, add some hair oil to your hair and then part your hair down the middle. Pick up a small section of hair on either side where you want your braid to start. Split that section into three smaller sections, and do the same crossover technique as you would with a regular braid; however this time, you add a little bit of hair to each section from the rest of your hair as you go. Once you reach the bottom, secure it with a hair tie. Repeat this process on the other half of your head, and you should have two braided pigtails! If you want to do a Dutch braid, you will repeat the same steps however instead of crossing the sections over each other, you cross them under.
Braids are the perfect option for when you want an interesting hairstyle, but you still want your hair to be protected.
- Messy bun
The next hairstyle is the iconic messy bun. This hairstyle is meant to look effortless, so don’t stress if it does not come out perfect! To achieve this look, first brush your hair and add some hair oil, such as the Kazani Intensive Hair & Scalp Oil. Then, gather all your hair into your hands and bring it up to the part of your head where you want your bun to sit. There are a couple of ways you can create the bun. You can wrap your hair around itself, then secure the bun with a hair tie. You can also tie your hair as if you were going to tie a ponytail, but instead of pulling the hair all the way through, you pull it half way and then secure it with the hair tie. Either way, after you secure your bun, you can pull it apart a little and pull out some hair pieces in the front to frame your face. A messy bun is the best hairstyle for a lazy day or a day for running errands as it keeps your hair out of your face.
- Half up half down
Lastly, a half up half down hairstyle is a timeless look that is perfect for a more dressy occasion. It is very simple to achieve. Brush your hair and divide your hair into two sections. Take the top section and brush it back into a ponytail. You can either secure it with a hair tie, or you can use a small claw clip to give it a more laid back look. Finish it off by adding some hair oil such as the Kazani Intensive Hair & Scalp Oil throughout your mids and ends to give your hair some shine. You can even pull out pieces in the front to frame your face or add a bow to give some personality, and you have a cute half up half down look!
We all have days where we don’t know what to do with our hair, but turning to heat tools should not always be our first option because of the damage they can cause. Hopefully this inspired some cute heatless hairstyles for you to try the next time you don’t know what to do with your hair.
