It's a testament to the power of change and the courage it takes to embrace it, and you can’t knock it til you try it. The problem is, you’ve now tried it and are left wondering, why did I do it? But let's address the elephant in the room: the dreaded awkward phase. We've all been there, grappling with hair that seems to have a mind of its own, defying gravity and every attempt to tame it. And don't even get us started on bang regrowth. That in itself is like a whole other battle. It's a phase that tests our patience and challenges our creativity, but luck for us, we love a challenge.  Gone are the days of hiding under beanies and headscarves, my friend. We've curated a collection of 17 fabulous hairstyles specifically designed to ease you through every stage of growth with style and grace. Whether you're dealing with unruly bangs or stubborn bobs, these hairstyles are your secret weapon to conquering the transition with confidence. So, if you're ready to bid adieu to hair-related woes and welcome back your mane in all its glory, you're in the right place. It's time to transform those awkward phases into opportunities to slay, to own your style, and to look downright fabulous while doing it. Trust us, with the right hairstyle, anything is possible, and girl, we've seen it all.   How Long Does It Take for Hair to Grow? As easy as it may seem, there is certainly no definitive answer that suits every head of hair.  Before we take a walk into the world of fabulous hairstyles for growing our hair, let's address a common question that often pops up on this journey. How long does it take for hair to grow? Well, the answer isn't as straightforward as we might hope. On average, hair grows about half an inch per month, which translates to about six inches a year. However, this can vary depending on a multitude of factors such as genetics, age, overall health, and even the season. So while some lucky individuals may see rapid growth, others might experience a slower pace.  It’s all in the luck of the draw. Remember those girls in high school who chop into their locks from home and have an absolute hair faux pas moment? Then come back to school like it never even happened? Yeah, well, that’s a little something called luck. But fear not, regardless of the speed, there are plenty of ways to make the most of your hair growth journey with stylish and versatile hairstyles!   Hairstyles for hair that is growing out  Now, let's dive into the fun part—exploring our curated collection of 17 stunning hairstyles for growing out your hair. From chic updos to playful braids, we've got you covered at every turn. So grab your hairbrush and let's get started on this hair growth journey together. It's time to unleash your inner hair goddess and show the world what you're made of. Before we get to that, a word of advice: don't be afraid to experiment and make these hairstyles your own. After all, style is all about self-expression and embracing your unique beauty. So, without further ado, let's dive in and discover the hairstyles that will take your hair growth journey to the next level.   1) Switch up your hair part You may have had the same part since way back when, but changing up a parting can make that transitional phase a whole lot more manageable. Why stick to the same old part when you can switch things up and completely transform your look? Experiment with different partings to level up your style and effortlessly conceal awkward lengths. Whether you opt for a sleek center part, a deep side part, or a playful zigzag part, changing your hair part can make a world of difference. Oh, and a little top tip? Try the trusty ear tuck to hide away that awkward mid-length whilst it grows out. You know, the Edna Mode style that we’re all trying to steer away from. One minute we’re asking for an old money bob, and the next we're walking out as Willy Wonka—you can’t win them all.    2) Try using headwraps Vamp up your style with head wraps that not only make a bold fashion statement but also help disguise transitional lengths, or dodgy haircuts full stop. From bold prints to embellished designs, head wraps are ideal for adding a touch of drama and flair to your look while keeping your hair out of your face. Not only are they loved by everyone’s favorite RiRi, but they’re also perfect when you’re frolicking around the pool hiding from the sun. You do you, babe.   3) Have fun with hairpins Channel your inner artist by getting creative with hair pins and using them to dress your locks in super chic ways. Whether you opt for delicate floral pins, sparkling rhinestone pins, or trendy pearl pins, the possibilities are endless. Get playful with placement and experiment with different designs to add personality to your hairstyle. The best part about pins is you can use the old-school classic bobby pin as a secret weapon to hide those awkward bangs. They’re not a hairstylist's secret pin anymore! The clean girl aesthetic claims them, and we’re wearing them.    4) Hairbands can do wonders  As obvious as it may sound, hair bands are the saving grace with all awkward and transitional styles. It pushes your hair off your face when it's flapping around aimlessly, but also dresses it up when there is very little to be done. Accessorize with headbands to effortlessly elevate your hairstyle while concealing in-between layers. Whether you prefer classic fabric headbands, embellished designs, or French-girl chic pearl styles, headbands are perfect for adding a pretty and polished touch to your look.   Plus, they're a lifesaver on those days when your hair just won't cooperate, thank us later.   5) Embrace your natural texture with textured waves  Au natural is best. Yep, you heard that right. Showcase your hair's natural beauty with textured waves, adding volume and dimension to your growing locks. Whether you have naturally wavy hair or prefer to use a curling iron or wand like the TYME Iron Pro, textured waves are perfect for enhancing your hair's natural texture and creating a relaxed and effortless look.   6) Try half-up hairstyles  When in doubt, grab the top section of your hair and clip or tie it up. This is a foolproof method that’s super easy and works at almost every length. Keep hair off your face while showcasing your length with chic half-up styles that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you opt for a classic half-up ponytail, a stylish half-up top knot, or a romantic half-up braid, half-up hairstyles offer versatility and elegance in one effortless look.   7) Give yourself the perfect pony Don’t we all love an Ariana Grande pony? It’s sassy, it’s chic, and it hides all our troubles. Why don’t you try and achieve a sophisticated and polished look with a sleek ponytail that tames unruly strands? Whether you prefer a high ponytail, a low ponytail, or a sleek side ponytail, ponytails are perfect for adding sass and style to your look with minimal effort. Stuck with shorter hair? Perfect, add in a pony clip-in extension, and nobody will ever know.    8) Braids are your new best friend Whilst you wait for your hair to grow out, sometimes all we can do is just hold out. In this process, we recommend incorporating braids into your hairstyle repertoire for a touch of texture and charm while concealing shorter layers. Whether you opt for classic French braids, trendy fishtail braids, or boho-inspired milkmaid braids, braids are perfect for adding interest and personality to your look.   9) Messy buns do the trick  Get ready to channel your inner Kendall Jenner with effortlessly chic messy buns that exude laid-back elegance. These versatile styles are not just reserved for casual occasions, they're suitable for any event on your calendar, whether you're running errands, catching up with friends over brunch, or even strutting down the red carpet. And not to mention its ability to hide those awkward flyaways that come with a grown-out mid-length bob.  With messy buns, you can effortlessly transform your look with a touch of Kendall-approved style that's equal parts cool and sophisticated.   10) Add voluminous curls for a little drama Transform your hair from drab to fab with voluminous curls that serve as your ultimate style savior in navigating a bad haircut you'd rather forget. Whether you're battling awkward layers or attempting to disguise the fact that your hair is in the tricky growing-out phase, voluminous curls are here to rescue your locks.  From tight coils that redefine your mane's structure to loose waves exuding effortless allure, or voluminous ringlets stealing the spotlight, these curls aren't just about adding volume, they're about unleashing drama and glamor like a boss. Say farewell to hair woes and hello to mesmerizing curls that not only showcase your natural beauty but also effortlessly conceal any haircut mishaps.   11)  Slick it back for a sleek look Elevate your hair game to superstar status with sleek, slicked-back hairstyles that make hair gel your ultimate MVP. Just like Zendaya rocks the style effortlessly, your grown-out hair will adore the sleek sophistication of this look. Whether you're opting for a chic low bun, a fierce slicked-back ponytail, or a glamorous polished updo, slicked-back styles are your go-to for adding an air of sophistication and undeniable style to any occasion.  Oh, and gel works wonders in hiding any bad hair secrets, that’s a promise.    12) Accessorize all you like!  Step into the world of hair accessories where the options are so fabulous, even our 12-year-old selves would be swooning in jealousy. With hairstyles for hair that are growing out, the possibilities are endless, especially when bows are involved.  Bows are currently stealing the spotlight, and it's no wonder why. They effortlessly elevate any look with a touch of feminine charm, requiring absolutely zero amounts of effort. Plus, they're perfect for transitional styles, adapting seamlessly to any hair length and personal style.  So, why not add a dash of whimsy to your look with bows and embellished accessories? Whether you're rocking a playful bow headband, a bedazzled hair clip, or a sparkling barrette, these accessories are your ticket to expressing yourself and hiding away hair that won’t grow.    13) Add a bit of length with extensions Why settle for lackluster locks when you can unleash your inner goddess with hair extensions? Everyone loves an instant transformation (just like us in the salon chair six months ago), so why not give extensions a go while your hair grows out to perfection? Whether you're craving extra length, volume, or both, hair extensions are your ticket to hair dreams.

Who got the memo for 2024? Big hair, don’t care The ‘80s called, and they want their hair back. Just joking, it never went anywhere. Big hair will *never* go out of style, but some of us just can’t get it big enough. Are you ready to add some oomph to your hair game? Whether you're rocking a sleek bob or cascading curls, there's no denying that there will always be a dream of having voluminous locks. From runway models to Hollywood icons, big, bouncy hair has always been a symbol of looking damn good on the runway. But for those of us with fine or thin strands, achieving that coveted volume can feel like an uphill battle—and sadly, you can’t change your hair follicles. If you were born with thin hair, no product can change that. It’s genetics.  But, there are things you can do to add that bit of oomph by yourself. We’re going headfirst into the world of hair volume to bring you nine tried-and-true tips that will instantly boost your mane's volume and take your style to new heights.  Before we jump into the nitty-gritty of hair volumizing techniques, let's take a moment to appreciate the journey that brought us here. From the iconic 80s bouffants to modern-day beachy waves, the search for voluminous hair has been a timeless pursuit. And while trends may come and go, one thing remains constant—big, beautiful hair is a need, not a want.  So, whether you're gearing up for a night out on the town or just want to inject some va-va-voom into your everyday look, sit back, relax, and get ready to unlock the secrets to hair volume that lasts.   How to increase hair volume at home  Ever heard the phrase ‘size doesn't matter’? Well in this instance, it really does. But, you're on a mission for volume, where do you start? Fear not, we've got you covered with a mixture of tips and tricks to help you achieve hair that's as full as your social calendar. From salon-worthy styling to going blonde, here are all the tips to give you bigger-than-ever hair.    1. Choose the right shampoo and conditioner We have said it before, but we’ll say it again—your choice of shampoo and conditioner sets the foundation for any hair type, let alone voluminous hair. Look for products specifically formulated to add body and fullness to your hair, to ensure there’s added oomph, even before styling. These formulas often contain ingredients like proteins and polymers that coat the hair shaft, creating the appearance of thicker strands.  We recommend, when washing your hair, focus the shampoo at the roots to remove excess oil and product buildup, wash twice, and then use conditioner sparingly to avoid weighing down your hair—and leaving it limp and lifeless.    2. Blow-dry like a pro Now, we all love a salon blowout, but isn’t it impossible to get the same feeling at home? Wrong. The blow dryer is your secret weapon for achieving salon-worthy volume at home, but you need to do it right.   Start by rough-drying your hair with a towel to remove excess moisture, then reach for a big barrel brush to create lift and volume at the roots. Choose a brush with natural bristles for smoothness and nylon bristles for added tension and bounce.  Divide your hair into sections and use the brush to lift each section at the roots while directing the airflow from the blow dryer downwards. Once your hair is dry, switch to the cool setting to set the style and lock in all that volume. Perfect!   3. Tease, tease, tease Now, by this, we don’t mean the Amy Winehouse-era beehive backcomb style, we mean gentle teases for added height. Backcombing or teasing is a classic technique for adding instant volume to your hair, but always use a fine comb to do so. Start by sectioning off your hair and spraying a volumizing spray at the roots for added grip. Then, grab a fine-tooth comb to gently backcomb sections of hair at the roots, working from the underside of the hair towards the scalp. Once you've created the desired volume, smooth the surface with a paddle brush to polish the look and keep those flyaways at bay. We’re going for the sleek look, not the beehive look, so the paddle brush is your best friend.    4. Invest in quality styling tools  When it comes to achieving voluminous hair, the right tools are VERY important. Invest in a high-quality blow dryer with multiple heat and speed settings to customize your styling routine for various looks. Look for a round brush with a large barrel for creating lift at the roots and smoothness throughout the lengths of your hair. And finally, add some extra bounce and lift, by incorporating big Velcro rollers into your styling routine to set your hair after blow-drying. Are those not cutting it? For added versatility, opt for a curling iron or wand with interchangeable barrels that allow you to create different types of curls and waves for more depth and fun!    5. Play with product The right styling products can make a world of difference when it comes to adding volume to your hair. Start with a volumizing mousse or foam applied to damp hair to create a foundation for volume to hold when styled. Then, apply a root-lifting spray or powder at the roots for added lift and texture.  Your beauty secret which is a *must* have in any future voluminous hair girlie? Hairspray! Finish with a lightweight hairspray every single time or a texturizing spray to lock in your style while maintaining flexibility and movement.   6. Layer your haircut No, not a pixie cut, just some choppy layers that can hold style and give you volume. Not necessarily a tip to be done from home, but still one that’s worthy of the list. A well-executed haircut can work wonders for adding volume to your hair—just ask your stylist to incorporate layers into your cut to create movement and texture, making your hair appear thicker and fuller. We recommend going for shorter layers around the crown and face-framing layers to add volume and dimension to your style. It’s bang season anyway, so this is your excuse to run, don’t walk. Along with layers, regular trims every 6-8 weeks will also help to maintain the shape and integrity of your haircut, preventing split ends and breakage—and keeping your hair packed with volume.   7. Opt for lighter hair colors Again, put the bleach down, this one’s for the professionals. Lighter hair colors can create the illusion of thicker hair by reflecting more light and adding dimension to your strands.  Why not try adding highlights, balayage, or ombre techniques to your next salon appointment to create depth and texture.  Work with your colorist to choose shades that complement your skin tone and enhance your natural features, creating a customized look that's uniquely you. Oh, and we’re in Spring now, it’s almost summer, so now is the time to do it.    8. Don't skip the dry shampoo Ah, any beauty lover's go-to weapon for those no-wash hair days. Dry shampoo is a lifesaver for giving you that hair wash-in-a-bottle look, but did you know, it also adds a heap load of volume? Look for a lightweight formula that absorbs excess oil and adds lift to the roots without leaving behind any residue. Apply the dry shampoo to the roots and massage it with your fingertips to distribute the product evenly. Finish by brushing through your hair to remove any excess powder and enjoy instantly refreshed and volumized locks.   9. Finish with a volumizing spray You’ve done all this work getting your hair as big as it can be, but here’s the kicker—you need to use product to set it! To lock in your new voluminous style and add extra hold, finish with a lightweight volumizing spray or finishing spray. These products are designed to provide long-lasting hold and support while adding texture and volume to your hair.  Hold the spray bottle 8-10 inches away from your head and mist evenly over your finished style, focusing on the roots and mid-lengths for maximum lift and volume.   Whether you go big, or go home, just look after it  Remember, achieving voluminous hair isn't just about styling—it's also about nourishing and caring for your strands. With each blowout, tease, and product application, your hair undergoes stress and exposure to heat and styling tools. To keep your locks looking their best, give them the extra attention they deserve by incorporating regular nourishment and conditioning into your hair care routine.  Treat yourself to weekly deep conditioning treatments, use a leave-in conditioner to keep your strands hydrated and protected, and trim your hair regularly to remove split ends and maintain its health.  By prioritizing the health and wellness of your hair, you'll not only achieve big and beautiful volume but also ensure that your hair remains strong, vibrant, and full of life. So go ahead, show your hair some love, and watch as it becomes bigger and better than ever before! JLo who?

Get rolling with these volume-boosting heroes, and three other ways to add some bounce If you've long dreamt of getting those luscious, salon-worthy locks without breaking the bank or spending hours in front of the mirror, then we’ve got great news. Velcro rollers are like magic wands for your hair—they're quick, easy, and super effective at giving your hair that extra oomph you’re after. But if using these little wonders seems like a mystery, we're here to unravel the secrets of mastering Velcro rollers like a pro.    What are Velcro rollers? Think of Velcro rollers are a combo of a regular hair roller and everyone's favorite hook-and-loop fastener. You know, the stuff that makes your sneakers stay on and your jackets stay closed. But instead of securing your shoes, Velcro rollers work their magic by gripping onto your hair, creating volume, curls, and bounce without any heat damage or minimal fuss. Whether you're prepping for a glam night out or just want to add a little pep to your everyday look, Velcro rollers could be your new favorite tool.    What makes Velcro rollers so great? First up, they’re convenient. You don’t have to spend hours wielding a curling iron or round brush, potentially burning your hair in the process. You just pop them in your hair, and go about your business while they set. Velcro rollers are kind of like the Swiss Army knives of hair tools—they can do it all. Want some killer volume? Check. Dreaming of cascading curls? You got it. Need a quick pick-me-up after hitting snooze one too many times? Velcro rollers.  Need more? They’re also reusable, which means you can roll, unroll, then roll them again, which is good for your wallet and the planet. That's right: you can roll, unroll, and roll again to your heart's content, saving both your wallet and the planet one fabulous hair day at a time.  Velcro rollers are clearly a great hair hack for looking put together with minimal effort. Read on for a few easy tips to get you using Velcro rollers like a pro.   How to use Velcro rollers From prep to set to unrolling, here are the four steps to get the most from your Velcro rollers. Prep like a boss: First things first, make sure your hair is clean and slightly damp, then give it a good brush to get out any tangles or knots. Then grab a styling product like a mousse or a volumizing hairspray and distribute it evenly through your strands, and follow that with a few sprays of a heat protectant. Roll, baby, roll: Starting at the crown of your head, make a four-inch section. Take the front inch of your hair and wrap it around your first roller, then wind the roller towards your forehead. Get right to the roots and secure the roller with a clip. Continue doing this with the rest of your hair, top down. Set it and forget it: Now that you're all rolled up, it’s time for the easy part. Do your skincare routine, put on your makeup, or just take a well-deserved break. You just need to wait until your hair is completely dry. If you’re in a rush and you used a heat protectant, go ahead and hit your rollers with a hair dryer on medium heat.  Unroll and unleash: Gently unravel each Velcro roller, one by one, in the same direction as you rolled them. Flip your hair forward right away and add some hairspray or dry shampoo right at your roots. Keep flipping it from side to side to amp up the volume, then run a comb through it from just below all the way to the ends. Can you use Velcro rollers on hair extensions? Velcro rollers are magic for natural hair, but using them on hair extensions requires a bit of extra caution and TLC. Hair extensions, whether they're clip-ins, tape-ins, or sewn in, are a bit more delicate than natural hair, and Velcro rollers can sometimes tangle or pull on the extensions. But with a little caution, it's totally possible to use Velcro rollers on hair extensions. Just make sure to be extra gentle when rolling and unrolling, and avoid placing too much tension on the extensions to prevent any pulling. Pro tip: if you're wearing clip-in extensions, pop them out before rolling and style them separately for maximum versatility.  Other ways to add volume to your hair If you’re still not sold on Velcro rollers, or you just want to know what your other options are, there are lots of other ways to add volume to your hair. Below are four of our favorites.   Flexirods Flexirods, as their name suggests, are flexible rods that come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. They're kind of like bendy straws, but instead of slurping up your favorite beverage, they can add curl and volume to your hair. Much like you would with Velcro rollers, you wrap sections of your hair around flexirods, twist them up, and let them work their magic overnight. When you wake up, unwrap the rods to reveal curls and added volume. Flexirods are super versatile. Whether you're aiming for tight ringlets, loose waves, or something in between, there's a flexirod size and technique for every look.      Heatless curls There are other heat-free ways to get the same results as flexirods, and a lot of them involve things you might already have around your house. These overnight transformations can involve braids, buns, and twists, and the finished product can again vary from tight curls to mermaid waves. Braiding your hair is a great way to achieve this. Go for lots of super small braids if you want tight curls, or one looser braid if you want softer waves. Either way, wrap your hair in a silk scarf and sleep on a silk pillow case to limit frizz. TikTok’s favorite heatless curl method involves the belt from your bathrobe. Part damp hair right down the middle, and place your robe belt across the center of your head, with each end hanging down kind of like bunny ears. Then, wrap one side around one side of the belt, and repeat on the other side. Secure both sides with a silk scrunchie and sleep on silk, too.   Hot tools Hot tools, whether it’s a curling iron, straightening iron or a blow dryer, are definitely the quickest ways to add curls and volume to your hair.  If you’re going with a blow dryer, flip your hair upside down and blast your roots with heat while you gently massage them with your fingers. This will lift your hair at the roots and instantly volumize them. Then, use a round brush to give yourself a salon-worthy blow out, working in sections, directing the heat from the dryer at your roots, and alternating towards and away from your face with the direction you roll the brush.  Next up, the curling iron. The bigger the barrel, the better for maximum volume. Start by curling away from your face, getting as close to your roots as you can. Consider leaving the ends of your hair a bit straighter for a more tousled, natural look.    Hair extensions If your natural locks just aren't cutting it, you can always turn to extensions. There are lots of different kinds, and depending on your hair type and the look you’re trying to achieve, one will be right for you. Clip-in extensions will instantly add volume. Simply pop them in wherever you need a little lift, maybe at the crown or along the sides. You can completely customize your look with these ones, adding as many or as few as you want.  Tape-in extensions blend seamlessly into your natural hair while they add that thickness and body. Plus, they're super lightweight, so you can get a voluminous mane without feeling weighed down. Last but not least, sew-in extensions. These provide a solid base for building up volume and creating the illusion of thicker, fuller hair. Plus, they're totally customizable, so you can play around with different lengths, textures, and colors to achieve the look you want. Get that volume—your own way If you do decide to go with Velcro rollers, make sure you pick the right size for the look you’re trying to achieve. If you have short hair, go with small or medium-sized ones, and opt for medium to large if your hair is longer. And while Velcro rollers will add lots of volume, you might not get a curlier finish if that’s what you’re after.  As with any new hair technique, practice makes perfect, so give yourself the time and space to experiment and figure it out. The same goes for all the other volumizing methods we covered. Even if it takes you a bit of time, we guarantee you’ll be able to achieve the bouncy effect you want. 

In the world of social media, hair trends come and go, but every once in a while, there's a style that is the talk of the season and has everyone calling their stylists for a whole new look. Enter the "fluffy bob," a trend that has already taken over Spring and Summer 2024. This style offers a perfect blend of chic sophistication and effortless charm. This versatile haircut adds volume, texture, and a touch of playfulness to your look, making it ideal for those seeking a fresh change. This guide will provide you with everything you need to achieve and style the “fluffy bob” flawlessly on yourself.

Woke Up Late? Short on Time? We got you! Here are 5 hairstyles to recreate on those days when it looks like you only have time for a messy bun (and not the cute kind). Oh, and the best part? All of these hairstyles work best on dirty hair! You’re welcome ladies!

From hydrating shampoo to frizz-defying serums, here are nine hair products to help you fight humidity this summer. Ah, summer. Warmer weather and longer days will be here before we know it!  But one of summer’s biggest downfalls is the havoc it can wreak on your hair. When the heat is high and the humidity kicks in, your perfect hairdo can be quickly transformed into a frizzy mess faster than you can say “bad hair day.” No one wants that, so we’ve got the lowdown on some superhero hair products that will help you conquer that humidity.  Why does my hair hate the humidity? Humidity is the amount of moisture present in the air. And guess what? Your hair is like a sponge, ready to soak up all that moisture like it's a free buffet. But here's where things get wild: when your hair absorbs all that extra moisture from the humid air, the cuticle, which is the outer layer of each hair strand, starts to swell up like a balloon. And when the cuticle swells, it gets rough and uneven, making it easier for frizz to sneak in and wreak havoc on your locks. And, if you've got curly or wavy hair, humidity can be especially brutal. That’s because curly hair is like a spring, just waiting to bounce into action at the slightest hint of moisture. So, when the air gets humid, those curls expand and frizz up faster than straight hair. But, we do have some good news. With the right hair products in your arsenal, you can shield your locks from the humidity and get sleek, frizz-free hair that's ready to take on whatever the weather throws your way.   What kinds of ingredients can help me beat the heat? What kind of magical ingredients should you look for when battling frizz caused by the dreaded humidity? First up, we've got the heavy hitters: silicone-based products. These form a protective barrier around each hair strand, sealing in moisture and keeping humidity out. Think of them as your hair's own personal force field, ready to repel frizz and keep things sleek and smooth. Next on the list of humidity-fighting warriors are hydrators, which are ingredients like glycerin and panthenol. These moisture-loving molecules penetrate the hair shaft, keeping it hydrated and less prone to that swelling frizz induces in the humidity. They're like little hydration superheroes, working tirelessly to keep your hair happy. Oils are also ideal, specifically lightweight oils like argan, coconut, and jojoba oil. These miracle workers not only moisturize and nourish hair, but they create a protective barrier against humidity so your hair stays frizz-free all day long. Last but not least, we have polymers, which are ingredients that help to smooth and seal the hair cuticle, making it less susceptible to moisture. Look for products with ingredients like dimethicone and cyclomethicone for maximum frizz-fighting power. Read on for the best silicone-based serums, vitamin-enriched oils, and smoothing polymers, then get ready to show humidity who's boss.  Moroccanoil Hydrating Shampoo Starting at the beginning of your haircare routine, choose a shampoo that will instantly moisturize your hair, like Moroccanoil Hydrating Shampoo. This shampoo is formulated with argan oil, vitamins A and E, and red algae to hydrate your hair so it looks and feels healthier. It’s also gentle enough for daily use (but try not to wash your hair every day, especially if it’s dry).   Moroccanoil Hydrating Conditioner Conditioner is super important if your hair is dry and frizzy, but all conditioners are not created equal. Go with one that’s made with ingredients to hydrate your hair, like the Moroccanoil Hydrating Conditioner. It’s gentle enough for daily use (see shampoo note above), and it’s inused with argan oil, vitamins A and E, and that same red algae as the shampoo. Apply it from roots to ends if your hair is thick and dry, or midlengths to ends if your hair is fine.  John Frieda Frizz Ease Dream Curls Ultra Nourishing Deep Conditioner If you need a second, more intense hit of conditioning, try the John Frieda Dream Curls Ultra Nourishing Deep Conditioner. Work the conditioner through wet hair after shampooing, right from your roots to ends. Leave it on for 10 to 30 minutes so the shea butter, rosehip oil, and avocado oil can do their hydrating thing, then rinse it to reveal silky, smooth hair. Pro tip: if you really want to see this one work its magic, pop a shower cap on after you apply it to seal in all that moisture.   Lauryn Ashtyn Heat Protectant Moisture Hydrate Spray If you’re going to heat style your hair, it’s smart to apply a heat protectant first. The Lauren Ashtyn Collection Moisture Hydrate Heat Protectant Spray not only protects up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, but it’s also packed with vitamins to nourish your hair. So, you’ll get smoother and more manageable hair, along with a shield from that heat. Apply this spray to towel-dried hair from mid lengths to ends, comb it through, and you're all set to safely style it with hot tools.  The Tyme Iron Pro On to those aforementioned hot tools. Choose one with titanium plates for fast, precise heat, like the tyme iron pro. It’s an all-in-one styling tool you can use to create five different kinds of curls or straighten your hair with long-lasting results. The iron heats up in just 55 seconds, and you can choose the temperature based on your hair type, so you’ll get that shiny finish that lasts, no matter how humid it gets.   SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie Embrace and enhance your natural curls while you fight frizz with a nourishing hair treatment, like this one from SheaMoisture. The Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie is formulated with coconut oil and silk protein, helping it hydrate and define curls while protecting against that frizz-causing humidity. It’ll also smooth out unruly ends while adding definition and shine to your curls. Lauryn Asthyn Argan Oil Serum Serums aren’t just for skincare, and everyone should have a good hair serum in their arsenal. The Lauren Ashtyn Argan Oil Serum formulated with (you guessed it) pure argan oil, will add shine and moisture to dry hair without making it look oily or heavy. Apply a small amount from your hair’s midlengths to ends, either before or after styling. Or, apply a generous amount before going to bed and use it as an overnight treatment. Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel If you’re opting for a super sleek bun, you need the right gel to set it, especially when it’s humid. The Ouidad Advanced Climatte Control Heat & Humidity Gel contains ceramides for long-lasting hold, and it’ll protect your hair from frizz without that crunchy, stiff finish. Use it to create a slicked-back updo, or to define your curls. Tresemmé Keratin Smooth Weightless Anti-Frizzing Finishing Spray Now, it’s time to set that sleek, shiny look.

Looking for straight hair without the need for heat? You’ve come to the right place Dreaming of the feeling of smooth, straight hair, but hesitant to subject your precious locks to the sizzling wrath of styling tools? You’re not alone. The constant battle between wanting a sleek look and the potential harm inflicted by heat styling has left many finding wild and wonderful ways to beat this fear.  In the era of embracing natural beauty and holistic well-being, the desire for effortlessly straight hair without heat has sparked a beauty revolution—can it be done?  We’ve seen heatless curls take over the internet, only for you to wake up with socks in your hair with your very own curly locks—but why can’t you get straight tresses, too? Though hairstylists have confirmed that heat is indeed needed to leave that salon-fresh straight shine, we’re giving up all the secrets on how to straighten your hair naturally.  From ingenious methods that promise to leave your hair luxuriously straight and undeniably radiant, to home remedies, we’re sure you’ll find something that will tame your curly tresses. This hair journey will see you travel into the heart of innovative styling, where the focus shifts from heat-induced transformations to nurturing care and gentle techniques. Here at TYME, we aren't here to transform your hair—we’re about redefining the narrative and proving that beauty can be achieved without compromising the health of your tresses. So, put your weapons down (the flat iron) and get ready for some natural remedies that won’t break the bank either.   Straightening your hair 101  Beginning on the journey to achieve straight hair without heat requires a true understanding of your natural hair. Different hair types require tailored approaches to your hair care regime. Whether you're dealing with curly, wavy, or frizzy hair, recognizing your hair's unique characteristics is the first step towards that moment of sleeker, straighter hair.    For instance, individuals with curly hair may find that their hair responds better to certain techniques compared to those with wavy or frizzy textures, and those with almost straight hair will respond better to these new techniques. Unfortunately, it’s the way the cookie crumbles, so if you’re in the bracket of ‘frizzy’ hair, you may not find much luck—but it’s worth a try.  Now, where to start? How a straightening brush can help If there is one thing that hair care has to thank, it would definitely be technology. Enter the revolutionary world of straightening brushes—a game-changer when it comes to heat-free styling. These brushes act as magic wands, transforming unruly curls and waves into smooth, straight Barbie-esque hair.    But not all straightening brushes are created as equals, and as a styling iron differs, so do these straightening brushes. So, what’s the kicker?   Sadly, they aren’t completely heat-free (sigh) but they do offer lower heat options. This tip is for those with thicker, curlier hair because there isn’t a way that natural remedies will straighten your hair…sorry.    If this is your last resort, then keep your tool on the cold setting, use plenty of heat spray, and nourish your locks as best as you can. It’s the most gentle option out of all the options on the market and will leave the results you are looking for. Permanent hair straightening options For those seeking a more long-term solution, there are various permanent hair straightening methods that could be your only choice for heat-free styling—but *always* think about it first. Remember, this isn’t a washout affair––you’ll have to live with it for some time, so spend time doing your research.    You can opt for popular methods such as keratin treatments or harsher methods like chemical processes to permanently alter the strands of the hair. Yes, the latter offers more chemical reactions, possible breakage, and more damage—but it prevents the daily heat exposure if you were to grab a hot iron every morning.    Consult with some real-life testimonials and expert opinions to guide you through the decision-making process, ensuring you make choices aligned with your preferences and lifestyle. If you find yourself putting extra heat on your hair all the time because you aren’t happy—then you have your answer.   DIY straightening masks and serums There are some DIY straightening masks and serums that promote natural straightness, which could help with those who just have a slight curl. With the correct product, you could be saying goodbye to frizz as you explore nourishing ingredients that encourage your hair to adopt a sleeker look.  There are many science-backed benefits in natural products and with coconut oil, aloe vera, honey, and yogurt, you can discover how these natural wonders interact with your hair's internal structure to impart hydration, reduce frizz, and enhance shine.  Coconut oil, with its unique fatty acids, penetrates the hair shaft, providing deep moisturization and taming unruly curls.  Aloe vera, celebrated for its soothing properties, adds a protective layer to minimize frizz and promote a smoother texture.  Honey, a natural humectant, locks in moisture, contributing to improved manageability and straightness.  Yogurt, rich in proteins and vitamins, nourishes the hair, leaving it with a healthy sheen.  Find the natural potential of these ingredients in easy-to-follow DIY recipes and bask in the transformative effects of a natural approach to achieving sleek, straight locks without the need for heat. The role of hair care in heat-free straightening Achieving straight hair without heat requires a holistic approach to hair care, emphasizing the importance of selecting the right products and adopting a nourishing routine. Here are some tips for the world of haircare and what may help you reach the goal of straight tresses: Begin your journey by choosing a shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for your hair type so that it promotes optimal health and manageability.  Look for products enriched with moisturizing ingredients such as argan oil, keratin, or coconut oil to enhance the smoothness and silkiness of your locks.  Incorporate a high-quality heat protector into your regimen to shield your strands from potential damage during styling sessions.  Beyond cleansing and conditioning, prioritize post-straightening care by indulging in a hydrating mask or serum to lock in moisture and maintain your hair's vibrancy.  This selection of products ensures your hair not only stays straight but also remains healthy, and resilient, and exudes a natural shine. Every hair care product contributes to the overall well-being of your hair, so for you to be left with a sleek, lustrous result, you must invest in natural products.  Straightening without heat—is it even possible? Hair stylists suggest that straightening hair without any heat is a challenging task, particularly for hair with natural waves or curls. TYME understands the desire for sleek, straight hair without the potential damage associated with heat styling—and while it may be challenging to achieve pin-straight results without heat, there are alternative methods that offer styling possibilities.     Three heatless straightening methods to try: Cool your hair Your first option involves using a good-quality hair dryer to dry your strands with cool air. It won't get your hair pin-straight, but it will work to some capacity. Get a roller brush and pull the cool air through your hair. You will see instant results, and though it won’t be straightener perfect, it was good for your hair at least.  Wrap your hair Keeping your hair straight is hard, but if it’s long—you may be in luck. Another option is to keep the hair pulled taut while it dries across your hair. Pop on a silk bonnet or towel, make sure the hair is pulled tight across your head and it *should* dry straight.  Roll your hair If wrapping the hair isn't feasible because it’s too short, then try a wet set with rollers. Pull the hair tightly over the roller and let it dry naturally. This method may ease out curls, although it won't entirely straighten the hair.   You aren’t guaranteed to straighten hair without heat   Sadly, there's no one-size-fits-all guarantee when it comes to straightening hair without heat. However, if the methods outlined above don't work too well, then there are additional techniques that can minimize heat usage altogether.    A pro tip from TYME involves incorporating microfiber towels into your routine, which can effectively absorb more moisture from your hair. By reducing the time spent blow-drying, you're not only conserving time with heat but also minimizing heat exposure. These pre-straightening tricks are gentle on your strands, prevent friction, and contribute to healthy locks.   Remember, the key to maintaining beautiful, healthy hair is a combination of proper care, smart styling choices, and embracing diverse looks that don't rely on excessive heat. We encourage you to explore various heat-free alternatives, allowing your hair to thrive and retain its natural luster.    Your hair is unique and with the right care, it can shine in all its glory (even when it’s curly). While heated styling tools may be tempting, sometimes saying no to heat is the best decision you can make for the long-term health and beauty of your locks. Your hair will undoubtedly thank you for the extra love and care you give it—and at the end of the day, you may start loving your curls. We know we do.
