The last thing you want to do on vacation (or even just at home in the sweltering heat) is spend precious minutes fighting with a blow dryer. Mastering the art of the perfect air-dry is no easy feat. Sure, avoiding heat on your hair is a simple way to put your locks on the path to healthy, especially if they are weak and damaged by bleaching, harsh styling products, and countless hours under the blow dryer. But, for those who have become dependent on heat for the perfect hair, breaking up with your beloved curling iron, flat iron, and blow dryer is a blessing in disguise—it gives those delicate strands a much-needed break to recover. While you don’t need to swear off your hot tools forever, taking a few days off can restore vibrancy and shine, making hair less dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. If you’re not genetically blessed with hair that naturally dries into perfect waves with nary an ounce of frizz, fear not. You can still wear a heatless hairstyle with the right mix of products (yes, you need a few on hand since good hair days sans heat are all about how you prep the hair). Sure, it might take some time to figure out what approach works best for you and your hair (setting hair overnight and letting it air dry is what most hair experts recommend) to get hair with lots of body and bounce sans any heat.
Here’s everything you need to stockpile to get the perfect summer hair without the heat!
