hello my love’s and welcome back to my
hair Channel today I’m going to be
showing you 30 days worth of heatless
hairstyles and I’m going to be straight
up with you guys and let you know that I
didn’t film each hairstyle over 30 days
I filmed this over a couple of days and
literally ended up with over three and a
half hours worth of raw footage that I
had to edit through to put this video
together if I did one hair salad day
this video would have been ready by the
year 2020 I wanted to put this video
together for those of you who want to
minimize the amount of heat you use on
your hair while still having your hair
look cute going heatless is honestly the
best thing you can do to your hair if
you’re trying to grow it out or revive
it back to health this video is also a
great way to challenge yourself to go
completely heatless for one month and
use some or all of these hairstyles to
help you get through if you decide to do
that please let me know if you notice
any changes in the health of your hair I
really want to know so without further
ado if you want to see my 30 days worth
of heatless hairstyles please keep
watching for the first heatless
hairstyles and a spray bottle filled
with water if your hair is already a
little bit damp from washing your hair
you can skip the spray bottle all I’m
doing now is creating a zigzag in my
parting and what this is going to do is
create a little bit more volume at the
roots once I take down my heatless
hairstyle in my spray bottle I have
mostly water and I added about a
tablespoon of this hair gloss serum by
Earth’s nectar now I’m just dampening my
hair and I’m concentrating the mixture
on the middle strands of my hair to the
ends of my hair once my hair feels like
it’s about 20% wet I’m going through
with a brush just to make sure that I
evenly distributed the mixture then I’m
taking the section of hair and I’m tying
it into a high ponytail on the top of my
head once I have my ponytail I’m taking
one of the bun makers and pulling my
ponytail through the bun maker and then
splitting my ponytail into two sections
and wrapping each section around the bun
maker
so once you’re done you should have
something that looks like this I’m going
to go ahead and do the exact same thing
on the other side now once you have your
two buns you can either wear this around
the house all day
or you can do it before bed and then
wake up in the morning and remove the
bun makers to reveal beautiful waves or
you can do what I did and just blast the
bun makers with some cold air I’m not
using any heat whatsoever I’m using only
the cold setting on this t3 hair
blow-dryer if you can I would definitely
recommend doing this before bed because
I find that the results are much much
better the waves are going to be much
more defined they will last longer so if
you can either wear them throughout the
day or do it before bed so you can
reveal them in the morning but because I
was short on time and I had like a
billion other hairstyles to do I decided
to blast it with cool air so the effect
will not be the same another thing I
like to do is style my fancy hair
extensions without heat I also like to
do this at least 24 hours before I’m
planning on wearing them I use different
heatless methods all the time in this
time I use flexi rods to style my
fancies and I’ll show you how you can
use these flexi rods to style your
natural hair as well a little later in
this video so as you can see when you
let the hair sit for longer you get a
much more defined shape and even though
the texture doesn’t match my natural
hair texture right now I’m still going
to clip them in and show you how you can
create a few different hairstyles with
extensions and without
for the first hairstyle I’m creating an
easy half up French twisted style to
create a French twist you want to pick
up a section of hair at the top of one
side split it into two strands cross the
Strand that is closest to your face over
the strand that is furthest from your
face then you want to pick up hair from
the outside of each strand combine the
hair with the strands and repeat the
previous steps of crossing the Strand
closest to your face over the Strand
that is farthest from your face and
repeating these steps until I reach my
ear and then I’m going to wrap the
strands around each other a couple of
times without adding in any hair and
then I’m clipping this section at the
back of my head for now then I’m
creating the same braid on the other
side and you want to make sure that your
braids are long enough so that you can
combine them and tie them together at
the back of your head I personally love
creating this hairstyle on hair that is
super super textured because it gives it
such a relaxed bohemian vibe and I’m
just obsessed
the next hairstyle is a super easy step
that you can build upon on the previous
hairstyle so if you don’t like the
half-up style what you can do is gather
all of your hit loose hair into a
ponytail at the nape of your neck and
just tie it with a good strong hair
elastic and then I’m gently tugging on
the two braids to lower the clear
elastic all the way down to the main
elastic to kind of cover it up because
then I’m going to take a small strand of
hair from the underside of the ponytail
and use it to cover up the main elastic
and then I’m just using a bobby pin to
pin it in place for this next hairstyle
I’m sectioning away all of the hair
around my crown area and I’m clipping it
up away in the meantime then I’m taking
another section of hair at about my ear
level and I’m taking this section in
braiding it into a regular three strand
braid and just tying it off with a small
hair elastic
I’m also gently pulling out on the sides
of the braid to make this braid thicker
because I’m going to be creating another
braid that I’m going to stock on top of
it and I want this braid to peak through
so once I’ve done that I’m releasing the
hair on the top and I’m just braiding a
regular Dutch braid so if you don’t know
how to braid a Dutch braid it’s simply
the same thing as a three strand braid
but instead of crossing these side
strands over the middle strand you want
to cross the side strands under the
middle strand once I finish braiding my
Dutch braid I’m just taking the two
braids at the ends and tying them
together with a small hair elastic and
then removing these small hair elastics
that are keeping each individual braid
together this way they meld together
this is one of my favorite ways to wear
my hair when I don’t want to use any
heat it’s a classic French braid that
can be created on natural hair or you
can add some hair extensions to add a
little length which is what I did if
you’re going to be using extensions you
want to make sure that you don’t clip
them past your ears otherwise they will
be difficult to hide so you want to
start out by sectioning off some hair at
the top and center of your head and
split it into three strands braid a
regular three strand braid and then
every time you cross the side strand
over the middle pick up some hair from
the outside of the strand you’re working
with and combined it with that strand
then do the same thing on the other side
you’re basically just repeating these
same steps until you run out of hair to
add into the braid and once that happens
continue to braid a regular three
strand braid and tie it off when you’re
done after you finish braiding you want
to run your fingers over the back of
your head to feel for any clips that
might be peeking through and then
reposition and reclip them back into
your hair to hide them as you can see
clip in hair extensions can give you a
completely different look even if you’re
creating a simple hairstyle like this
French braid let me show you how this
French braid looks without hair
extensions for this next hairstyle I’m
clipping away the hair at my crown area
and taking a section of hair underneath
that and braiding a Dutch braid and
pulling out the size of the braid to
pancake it out next I’m releasing the
hair I clipped away and taking a small
section of that at the top of my head
and braiding a French braid until I run
out of hair from the top to incorporate
into the braid and then I’m continuing
to braid a few times until the ends of
the braid is long enough to reach the
top of the Dutch braid when that happens
I tie off the braid with an elastic and
then create an opening at the top of the
Dutch braid and pull the French braid
through the front and out the back of
the Dutch braid to create this cool
braid within a braids effect here I’m
clipping away the hair at my crown area
and taking a section of hair underneath
that and braiding a regular three-strand
braid and pulling out the sides of the
braid to pancake it out
next I’m releasing the hair eclipta
weigh-in taking a small section of that
at the top of my head and I’m braiding a
French Dutch braid this time a French
Dutch braid is simply a Dutch braid that
is attached to your head that’s what the
term French refers to in braiding so to
create a French Dutch braid you simply
want to incorporate hair into the Strand
that you are crossing under the middle
strand I’m continuing to braid a few
times until the end of the braid is long
enough to reach the top of the three
strand braid when that happens I tie off
the Dutch braid within elastic and then
create an opening at the top of the
three strand braid and pull the Dutch
braid through the front and out the back
of the three strand braid to create this
cool braid within a braids effect this
is basically the same style as a
previous hairstyle but in the reverse
order
the next hairstyle I’m going to show you
is another heatless hairstyles that you
can do after you’ve washed your hair or
you can dampen your hair a little bit
with the same water mixture I showed you
in the beginning of this video all I’m
doing is concentrating the mixture at
the middle and ends of my hair and
getting my hair about 30% wet then and
throwing my hair up into a ponytail on
top of my head and using these flexi
rods to wrap sections of hair around the
rods and bending the top and bottom of
each flexi rod to keep the hair in place
you want to make your hair as smooth as
possible when you’re wrapping your hair
around the flexi rods for the best
effect and again I would highly
recommend keeping these in your hair
overnight so your hair has completely
dried and had a chance to set for a much
more defined wave or curl but for this
video I use my blow-dryer again on the
cold air setting to help speed up the
drying process also if you guys were
interested in getting these flexi rods I
got mine at Walmart and they were super
inexpensive mine are by the brand goody
and I’m pretty sure you can get them on
Amazon – I’ll pop a photo in here so you
can see what they look like I especially
love them for styling my fancy hair
extensions because they’re so quick and
easy to use and they give my hair
extensions so much shape and texture
which makes my braids look super chunky
and boho looking which I am absolutely
obsessed with so clearly I remove the
flexi rods prematurely because my hair
is still a little bit wet as you can see
but if you remember how my hair
extensions looked after I removed the
flexi rods that’s the definition and
shape you’ll get if you keep them in
overnight I’ll just have to settle with
these messy beach waves for now which
I don’t mind at all so when my hair is
very messy and beachy looking like this
my favorite way to play up the texture
is with braids this is a super easy half
up style that literally takes a minute
to do and all I did was take my hair
around my crown area brought it to the
back and braided a regular three strand
braid I also pulled it apart a little
bit to add some thickness to it another
way I like to style my beachy waves is
by rocking a braided half-up style this
is one of my favorites and all I’m doing
is picking up a small section of hair
from the top of one side splitting the
section into three strands and braiding
a one-sided French braid so as you know
a classic French braid is when you
combine hair from the outside of the
braid into the strand of hair that you
are crossing over the middle strand and
you’re repeating the step on both sides
of the braid so it sticks to your head
from both sides a one-sided French braid
is the same technique except only you
want to add in hair to one side of the
braid in this case I’m only adding in
hair to the side of the braid that is
parallel to the ceiling so that only the
top part sticks to my head I’m just
repeating these steps until I reach the
back of my head and then I’m continuing
with a regular three strand braid until
I have a few inches left of loose hair
and then securing it with an elastic
then I’m just going ahead and creating
the same braid on the other side
this next one is one of my favorite ways
to style my natural hair texture all I
do is braid a French braid along the
side of my face up to my ear and braid a
regular three-strand braid until the
braid is long enough to reach the back
of my head at which point I temporarily
secure the braid with a clip then i
braid the same braid on the other side
and secure both braids together at the
back of my head with an elastic for this
next hairstyle I’m simply picking up the
hair around my crown area splitting the
section into two strands and braiding a
fishtail braid I have a step-by-step
tutorial on how to braid a fishtail
braid so I will link it for you in the
cards and in the description box if you
want to check that out I’m just braiding
until I have a few inches of loose hair
left at the ends and then I’m tying it
off with an elastic it’s super simple
and looks great with hair that is
naturally textured this next one is for
all of my lazy girls and boys who want
the look of a French braid but don’t
have the time for it
this is my take on a lazy French braid
so what you want to do is start at the
crown in separate three strands of hair
cross the left strand over the middle
cross the right strand over the middle
cross the left strand over the middle
and then cross the right strand over the
middle now add in a chunk of hair from
the outside of the left strand and cross
this entire section including the left
strand over the middle strand repeat the
same thing on the right side braid again
for a total of four crossovers and
repeat the previous steps with combining
hair into the braid when you reach the
nape of your neck you can either
continue with a regular three strand
braid or you can tie off the hair at
this point to create a cool braided
ponytail like I did here you’ve probably
seen this next hairstyle all over
Instagram being referred to as the batty
girl hair style so I’m going to show you
how to get the look most of the photos
I’ve seen of this hairstyle have long
lush braids but clearly my hair is not
that long so I’m going to use a few webs
of my fancy hair extensions to help me
out first I separated my hair into two
sections and clipped away one of the
sections next I’m parting my hair on the
working section a couple inches above my
ears so I can clip in my
extensions into this area and I’ll have
enough hair from all sides to hide the
weft I’m clipping in 1/3 clip weft and
then stacking on to 2 clip West’s on top
of that since no one will see these
West’s you can easily stack them just
make sure that they are secure now I’m
starting to braid a Dutch French braid
remember how to do that I’m starting off
by picking up a triangle-shaped section
from the top of my working section and
separating it into three strands I’m
crossing the side strands under the
middle strand and incorporating hair
into the side strands as I go it’s
important to be aware of where your wets
are located so you can make sure you’re
always picking up hair around the West
so that the hair will hide them you also
want to braid on a bit of a diagonal in
the beginning and then curve the braid
as you get past your ear when you run
out of hair to add into the braid
continue with a regular Dutch braid and
tie off the braid with an elastic when
you’re done then just repeat the same
steps on the other side and you’ve got
yourself a badass a baddy girl hairstyle
the batty girl hairstyle also looks good
on medium length pairs so here is that
option without hair extensions
I’ve literally worn this next heatless
hairstyles to and won’t stop now because
it’s so easy all I do is tie my hair
into a ponytail at the nape of my neck
split the ponytail into two sections
twist each section one way and wrap the
sections around each other the opposite
way to create a rope braid you want to
keep repeating these steps until you
can’t braid anymore and then wrap the
braid around itself and pin it in place
this is one of my all-time favorite ways
of styling my hair without heat and if
you can let your hair air-dry with this
method until your hair is completely dry
and set the effect is even better so all
I do is take small sections of hair and
I’m dampening them with the same water
mixture and then spring a little bit of
hairspray on them again you can also do
this on freshly washed hair that is
about 30 percent wet then you want to
wrap the section of hair around your two
fingers and then use a crocodile clip to
keep it in place sometimes you might
need to use two clips from either side
depending on how big the section is so
keep an eye out for that to make sure
your hair doesn’t fall out of the clip
I’m just repeating the same steps all
over my hair and alternating the
directions of the way I wrap my hair
around my fingers so I can get a more
boho beachy vibe
rather than uniform waves so what they
finished clipping up all of my hair I’m
going to take a quick swig of my coffee
because gosh darn I need it and then I’m
air drying my hair with some cold air
from my blow-dryer again to speed up
this process and then once I’ve got my
hair as dry as possible I’m removing the
clips to reveal these beautiful
voluminous waves
this next one is another super easy
hairstyle that looks great on naturally
textured hair and it’s a super easy half
up Dutch braid need i say more this is
another trendy hairstyle that looks
great on pretty much everyone all I’m
doing is gathering all the hair around
my face and crown area and tying it into
a high ponytail in looping the ponytail
through the elastic about an inch on the
last pull through then I’m taking the
ponytail and wrapping it around the
little loop and pinning the hair down to
create a cute little top knot if you’re
having a really bad hair day and want to
try something that will hide all of your
hair and doesn’t require heat you’ll
want to try this next hairstyle section
your hair in half and tie both halves up
into a high ponytail like this then
twist each ponytail one at a time and
wrap it around the base and pin in place
with bobby pins this hairstyle is a
totally 90s look that’s super cute and
completely Heelys another one of my
favorites is to tie half my hair at the
back of my head twist the loose hair and
wrap it around itself at the base and
pin it in place to create a beautiful
little half a bun style in 30 seconds
this is one of my go-to heatless
hairstyles on those days where my hair
is starting to look like it’s ready to
be washed it’s this French Dutch braid
I’ve already shown you guys how to braid
a Dutch braid so this is the same
technique and you want to braid until
you run out of hair to add into the
braid and then continue with a regular
Dutch braid until the ends
another variation on the body girl style
is to braid to french braids instead of
to Dutch braids this look is a little
less edgy but still just as cool and I
love it another way you can hide greasy
roots or dirty hair is by gathering all
of your hair into a high ponytail and
pulling the ponytail through the last
tie about an inch and then wrapping the
loose hair around the loop to create a
top knot pin the top knot in place with
bobby pins and you’ve got another
heatless hairstyles stretch you to the
next day this is a super easy heatless
hairstyles doesn’t require any braiding
all you want to do is gather a chunk of
hair from one side of your head tie it
with an elastic create an opening above
the elastic and pull the ponytail
through the front and out of the back of
the opening this trick will create a
little twist repeat the same steps on
the other side for a half up style in 30
seconds you can also build up on the
previous hairstyle by gathering all of
the loose hair and tying it into a quick
and easy pony another super fast
heatless half up style is to gather the
hair around the front of your head and
tie them together one time at the back
and securing them with an elastic to
create this faux knotted braid that
looks a lot harder than it actually is
you can make a braided ponytail look a
little extra special by just separating
your hair into two and braiding a rope
braid like I showed you earlier in this
video it’s a super easy braiding
technique that just makes everything
look a hundred times better in my
opinion and of course you can always go
back to the basics and braid just a
regular three strand braid which is
another one of my goat cheese that never
ever ever fails me and that my friends
