Hello! So I have finally managed to write this post but I have been very busy this week and I have just found time to do it and I did promise you I would do normal posts in the middle of the week so here it is! This post is going to be about different ways you can get different hairstyles like curls, waves and volume without having to use heat, it was meant to be because you don't really want to use lots of heat tools on your hair all the time during the summer but now, in England, the weather has got worse and at the moment it is absolutely pouring down!
Before I explain how you can do the first hairstyle, I just want to tell that the reason why I've got pictures I've drawn that are of the different hairstyles because, if you've read my previous posts, you might know I can't put up any pictures of me all over the internet - so I thought this might be a bit different! I also know that there are probably better ways of finding out how to do these hairstyles, like on YouTube, but hopefully you will find it easy to understand what on earth I am going on about! Like I said in the last post, please use your imagination as well!
First up, how to get curls! I think this is the most obvious and easiest heat-free method to get nice curls but I'm still going to include it because I use this the most out of all the ones I know. All you have to do is after you've had a shower and your hair is still damp, plait it and then leave the plaits in overnight. When it has dried by the morning you can take them out and brush through. I also set it with VO5 High Volume Hairspray.
It's so simple and all you really need are enough hairbands to do the number of plaits that you want! I usually make two plaits on either side of my head because it's easier (and I'm lazy!) and the curls don't come out as small or tight which suits my hair better but you can put in as many as you want. Just remember that the more you put in, the tighter your curls will be.
The next heat-free hairstyle is making your hair have more volume in and I think this is so easy to do! There are two ways that I use to achieve volume. One way is to use the VO5 Plump It Up Volumising Spray. I know that it is meant to be used as kind of like a heat protecting spray that also volumises your hair for when you blow-dry. However when I read what it does on the back, it said that you could spray it in your roots and evenly through your hair then towel dry it normally which gives basically the same effect.
Another way is to spray dry shampoo into the roots of your hair and that gives more of the volumised look. The dry shampoo I have been using recently is the Hazy Days one by Girlz Only which is for during the day (if you didn't know they do dry shampoos for different things). I have to admit this particular one by Girlz Only isn't specifically for volume but after researching a little bit into the different Girlz Only dry shampoos, I have found one called Volume XXL Plus and that sounds like it should be the best one for volume (or you would hope so!) but I haven't actually seen or used it before so I don't know how good it is. If you have it, please tell me what you think about it in the comments, I would love it!
The last hairstyle is beach waves. I love beach waves because they can look like you've just been on a breezy (but not too much!) beach. I also really love this Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray by Toni & Guy. I mean, I even loved it before I tried it out, when I was in the shop and I saw it but I love it even more after using it loads!
All you have to do is have dry hair and you have to spritz it evenly through all the ends of your hair. Then what I do is I scrunch the ends up and leave them scrunched up in my hands for a few seconds so when you let go of the ends, it gives them nice, effortless-looking waves. I also just really love the smell of the spray (that doesn't sound weird at all, does it?!) and it gives the hair a really different texture.
That was all for this post, I hope you liked it, even if it isn't the same as a tutorial on YouTube, but then again I didn't really think these hairstyles needed much explaining if I'm honest with you! Anyway, I'm posting the second Favourite Makeup Look of the Week post over the weekend so hopefully you enjoyed the first. :) Post soon xx
**I got my ears pierced (for the first time) yesterday and I am SO happy because I really wanted to get them done for a while now! I got them done in Claire's and I bought their own Rapid Antimicrobial Activity/ 3 Week After Care Lotion which means that my ears will have healed and I won't have to use the cleanser after just 3 weeks instead of the usual 6 weeks. I've got to clean around the hole 3 times a day which is a bit of a pain but I can manage it! Who else has their ears pierced? Feel free to tell me in the comments section below!**
