During these hot summer months, the last thing our hair and bodies need is even more heat. Skip the hot tools and take care of your locks by giving them a much-needed break. You can actually style your hair without any heat at all, not even a hair dryer!  

If you've never dipped your toes into the heatless styling movement, that sentence might just be terrifying. But there's no need to fear, it's actually much easier than you'd think. Take it from me, who became a heatless styling devotee because I'm always either running late in the mornings or way too lazy. 

Whether it's simply applying an air dry cream, doing a whole slicked-back look, or trying the TikTok-viral curlers overnight, there are plenty of heatless styling options for you to choose from. Don't be beholden to the heat, and go for a style that is better for your hair's health (and your time in the morning)! 

If you don't have any time in the morning, this heatless styling method is the quickest one to do. It takes less than five minutes, and you only need one product. Simply wet your hair with a water spray bottle, apply an air dry styling cream, scrunch up your ends, and out the door. The only negative for this style is that the outcome will depend on your haircut and how your locks look that day! 

The JVN Air Dry Cream is viral for its real frizz control, touchable hold, and refreshing scent. It's infused with chia and linseed extracts with moringa seed oil to enhance your natural texture, add lush shine, and hydrate your locks. 

Don't want too much product in your hair, but still want it to look good? The Dae Cactus Fruit cream is ideal. This new scent has notes of creamy vanilla, praline, and candied lemon. It promises to remain brushable while smoothing and defining your natural texture. 

Another touchable option, the styling cream by Gisou is formulated with Mirsalehi honey and milk protein to hydrate, control frizz, and give a glazed shine with style memory and flexible hold to your locks. 

Before putting anything in your hair, you need to spray it with water. A lot of these styling creams require your locks to be damp, so you can have a blank canvas to work from! 

Want a clean girl look? This look is a classic for a reason! Whether you opt for a full slicked-back ponytail or a half-down-half-up vibe, all you have to do is gather the hair with your hands or a styling brush, use a good-for-you hair tie, and apply hair gel to make it look sleek. Lastly, if you're on the go, don't forget to take a gel taming wand with you for any flyaways. 

This hair gel delivers on an actual non-stiff hold that'll last you all day long. Infused with pequi oil, açai extract, and aloe vera, it's the only hair gel I use that lasts through humidity and washes away effortlessly in the shower. 

Sure, there are plenty of affordable styling brushes to choose from... but our hearts were captured by this gorgeous Emi Jay one that has natural boar bristles and looks like it's meant for a true princess. 

Made from high-quality silk, these Slip skinny scrunchie hair ties are actually worth the price. They promise to help reduce hair damage and breakage while preventing creases. Plus, they're also comfortable to wear on your wrist for any hair emergencies. 

Need to touch up while on the go? This IGK gel taming wand is a total must-have with its addicting scent and lightweight formula that promises to smooth and tame flyaways without stiffness or flakes. 

Heatless curlers were the first product to make us think heatless styling was actually possible. Going absolutely viral on TikTok and Instagram, people swear by putting in the curlers before bed, sleeping with them on, and removing them in the morning for effortlessly styled locks. Use the satin curler for waves or flexible rod curlers for tighter curls.  

The viral OG heatless styling product! This set by Kitsch features 34" satin heatless curling rod and scrunchies that have over 30K near-perfect reviews, and they're designed to be super soft and comfortable to sleep in. 

Want tighter curls? This curler set features twist hair rods that are made from quality foam, which are soft, flexible, and lightweight, and easily create curls for all hair types, wet or dry.

Before putting on your heatless curls, lovers of this styling trend say to use a volumizing mousse beforehand for maximum curl, wave, and staying power. This one by Beyoncé's hair line smells delicious and delivers maximum volume, movement, and root lift.
