Your natural hair is beautiful, and while it doesn’t always get the credit it deserves without the use of tools or techniques, there are plenty of styles that celebrate your natural texture and hair type.
While all our tools and products are designed to support healthy hair during heat styling, opting for a heatless style can sometimes be the simplest and most effortless choice.
Check out these 10 easy heatless hairstyles designed to showcase your hair's natural strength and shine.
THE CLASSIC LOW BUN
The low bun is one of our favourite low maintenance looks and we’re always looking for new ways to do it.
- Start with your natural hair down and gather it into a simple low ponytail.
- Twist the ponytail until it naturally begins to form a bun shape.
- Wrap the twisted hair around the base of the ponytail.
- Secure the bun with a hair tie.
- Use hair pins as needed, especially for thicker or longer hair, to keep it in place.
Top tip: Add a pea-sized amount of Magical Remedy to the hair before styling to enhance your hair's natural strength and shine.
DUTCH BRAIDS
Dutch braids are a bit more complex than buns and ponytails, but once you have mastered the technique, this is an ideal heatless summer look.
- Divide your hair into three sections, as you would for a standard plait.
- Begin braiding, but each time you move an outer section toward the middle, add in a small section of hair as you go.
- Instead of crossing sections over, braid each piece under the middle strand to create a raised effect.
Practice makes perfect with this one, but if you can plait already, it should take you no time at all to master this stunning heatless hairstyle.
OVERNIGHT WAVES
If you fancy a curl, sleep with your hair in the Dutch braids (as shown above) and you'll wake up with beautiful beach waves. A modern version of the crimped hair everyone loved so much in the ’90s.
Top tip: Spray your hair with Magical Quick Dry Potion to help lock in your hair’s natural moisture before gently combing through your waves.
TRENDY CLAW CLIP
We all know that trends come and go, but this one has been around for a while. If you want a quick and easy style that looks gorgeous, why not try out this claw clip hack?
- Gather your hair in one hand like you would for a ponytail.
- Using the other hand, grab the hair and wrap it around your index finger.
- Pull your finger through so your hair falls into a 'French twist' look.
Secure that with the claw clip, and you'll have a simple, pretty style that's perfect for a hot day.
BUBBLE BRAID PONYTAIL
This hairstyle isn’t just glamorous, it’s effortless to recreate too. All you need are a few hair ties and some hairspray.
- Start off by gathering your hair into a middle part ponytail in the middle area of your head and tie it off with a hair tie.
- Then, take another hair tie and secure it about three fingers distance from the first one.
Keep doing this until you reach the end of your ponytail with hair left out at the bottom. You should now have a gorgeous style, perfect for the warmer days ahead.
HALF UP HALF DOWN
This beautiful hairstyle can jazz up any ordinary day. You can also add some accessories like a hair scarf to make it that little bit more exciting.
- Start with your hair down.
- From the top of each ear, imagine a line running toward the back of your head and use it to section off the upper portion on both sides.
- Bring these sections together at the back.
- Secure with a hair tie of your choice.
- Add a cute accessory to finish – creating an effortless, polished look.
If you’d like, the night before you can sleep with braids in to achieve a beachy look that looks great on all hair types.
THE FISHTAIL BRAID IS BACK
This stunning braid is a staple for special summer occasions, and we love finding new ways to elevate it with styling and accessories.
- Divide your hair into two even sections.
- Begin a fishtail braid, working all the way down the length of your hair.
- Take small strands from the outer edge of each section and cross them over to the opposite side as you braid.
If you’re new to this technique, it may take a little practice, but it quickly becomes easier once you get the rhythm.
You'll end up with a beautiful and unique braid that is a fantastic heatless hairstyle to have on your roster.
SLEEK PONYTAIL
This '90s hairstyle is making a comeback, and it's a summer favourite. It’s a great choice for those hot days when the last thing you want is hair in your face.
- Lightly spray your hair to control flyaways.
- Gather your hair into a ponytail at your preferred height.
- Secure it with a hair tie.
- Add extra hair ties if needed for thicker, longer, or curly hair.
- Spray an old toothbrush with hairspray or apply a small amount of hair gel to it.
- Gently run the toothbrush over your roots to smooth the hair and remove any bumps.
This last step is key to creating a sleek ’90s-inspired finish.
You can also plait the ponytail to add that extra style.
HIGH BUN
Now this is very similar to the classic low bun, except it's obviously higher. Easy to do, and it goes without saying - it looks gorgeous.
- Gather your hair to the height of your preference to create a ponytail and secure that with a hair tie.
- Like the low bun, twist your hair, and naturally it will follow a bun-shaped path.
- Once it looks how you’d like, secure it with a hair tie.
- Add a few pins to the places of your preference and play around with them to create an effortless messy bun.
And there you have it – a high bun that requires no heat and takes hardly any time. Ideal for beach days or even just outside at home.
MINI BRAIDS
Last but definitely not least, these mini braids will transform a simple hair-down look. Add some colourful hair ties to make it perfect for those fun-filled summer days.
- Take a small section at the front of your hair and create a mini braid, braiding down to the ends. Repeat on the other side to form face-framing braids.
- Add additional mini braids in small sections throughout your hair if desired.
- Secure and finish as needed, optionally adding colourful hair bands for extra detail.
If you want, you can do some more braids in little sections of your hair.
This hairstyle is amazing when you want your hair down but want to add a little more excitement.
It's perfect for parties, festivals, and those chilled summer days where low effort is a priority.
