Once cold weather hits, do we really have to pull out our blow dryers? Nope! If anything, fall and winter should be when you take the biggest break from those tools. With the heat cranked up and hotter showers, your hair takes a beating — not to mention the static that comes with too dry of hair.
Plus, you can pick them up at your local CVS right now!
If you’re worried about heat damage (or, let’s be honest, would rather be sleeping than styling), you’re in luck — because us too! From messy waves to braids, here are ten pretty and presentable hairstyles to get you through the seasons, sans an ounce of heat.
1. Side Swept Bangs

2. Ribbon Pony

3. Half Up Top Knot (High)

4. Half Up Top Knot (Low)

5. No Heat Beach Waves
Source: Barefoot BlondeLet’s get real, we can’t live without beach waves, no matter the season. Which is why we’re all about no-heat beach waves (say whatttt?!). It takes time to let your hair dry, but as long as you shower the night before, your waves will form and dry just in time to start your day.
6. Twisted Side Braid
Source: Gal Meets GlamGirls with thick or long hair, we’ve got you! Instead of tying everything back in yet another boring ponytail, consider stepping up your game with a twisted side braid. It’s a lot easier than it looks, but we promise we won’t tell.
7. Side Braid Bun

8. Dutch Boxer Braids
