Banish your blow dryer with these easy breezy styles for a cool, quick fix!
We all need a go-to emergency updo that that will save us from a miserable hot hair day. The last thing we want to do is bust out the blow dryer when it's 100 degrees outside! So we've pulled together a few looks that are easy to pull off sans heat styling.

Embrace the Frizz

Sick of battling the summer humidity? Embrace your frizz with a messy and textured up-do like Scarlett Johansson. Loosely gather your locks into a bun at the top of your head and secure with bobby pins.

Sleek and Fabulous

For a retro look that’s sure to last all day, use some smoothing serum like Redken Glass Smoothing Serum then make a side part, (leave out some bangs if desired) and smooth back the rest of your hair to the nape of your neck. Secure both ends of the hair and then twist them upwards. Next, tuck any loose ends into the bun and secure with bobby pins.

Braids All Around
 
We love headbands but ever thought about braidbands? This look is real simple, part your hair down the middle, make two pigtail braids, then bring them up to the top of your head and pin them together making sure to tuck the ends under. For some extra glam, use a small scarf and intertwine it into the braid.

Get Knotty
 
Usually knots and hair don't go together, but we love this simple yet classy up-do that will work with any type of hair. Slick your hair back into a high ponytail, then twist it and let it coil around the ponytail. Secure with bobby pins and hairspray.
