4 No-Blow-Dryer-Required Summer Hairstyles

With summer in full swing, we're already hitting temperatures in the 80s and even some 90s. Do you really want to spend your morning sweating under your blow-dryer in your bathroom, just so you can walk outside and continue to sweat all day? Probably not. Try one of these easy, no-dryer hairstyles this summer to get your hair out of your face and the sweat off your forehead.

The Fly(away) Girl

When it comes to your flyaways, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em! You know the humidity is going to bring them out this summer, so rather than try to slick them down, risking a greasy look, work with them.

Start by loosely parting your hair down the middle, but not so you see a severe part line. Then, bring your hair into a loose mid-rise bun. Finally, pull a few pieces (those baby hairs you hate so much) out around your face. Finish with a light-hold hair spray.

Messy Updo
This style takes seconds to get, yet looks like you had a team of stylists doting on you for hours. To get this wake-up-and-go style, part hair down the middle with a comb without brushing through. Next, loosely take the last three inches of hair (last five inches for longer tresses) and twist twice. Wrap the ends into a very loose bun and secure at the nape of your neck with a few bobby pins, or a great statement barrette.

The Princess

This style works great for all hair types (straight tocurly) — the curlier your hair, the more romantic it will look. First, take the front section of your hair and comb it back to about the middle of your scalp; secure with two crisscrossed bobby pins. Then, gather your hair into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck and pull your ends through until they create a loop. Secure any flyaway ends with a bobby pin.

Bedhead
This look will take eight hours to achieve, but we promise you won't have to lift a finger for any of it. Step one, go to bed (that's easy enough, right?). When you wake up, take a quarter-sized amount of holding gel (we love Pantene Classic Style Gel Total Control), in your hands, rub together, and scrunch your hair ends to roots. This works best with those blessed withnaturally wavy or straight hair.
