Easy Hairstlyles: How To Style Your Hair Without Heat

(I love this picture of her)

 My one concern about taking my hair out of my twists was maintenance.  I am a low-maintenance girl when it comes to doing hair.  I don't like to spend longer than 10 minutes or so on my hair in the morning.  Along with being low-maintenance,  I'm also against using excessive heat on my tresses, so typically my rule for myself is that once I take my hair out of a protective style, I get to apply heat to it once.  That means no flat irons, curling irons or blow dryers after my initial styling session.  It works for me because I never have my hair out of braids or twists for longer than a month.

Due to my choices, I've had to find ways to maximize the amount of time my flatirons last and find ways to style my hair that don't take up too much time in my busy mornings.

WHAT I DO BEFORE BED:                                                                                                                   

• Brush my hair using a pattle brush to rid it of any tangles and/or shed hair
• Rub 3 or 4 drops of  IC Hair Polisher(you can use your favorite product) into my hands and apply it to my ends only.
• I apply a very small amount of hair wax to my edges and brush them to lay them down
• This next step depends on the style I want to achieve for the next day.  If I want straight hair all over, which is rare, I will wrap my hair.  I like a little wave pattern to my hair, so I bring it all to the back like I'm going to make a low ponytail, but I just twist it into a bun, and secure it with a bobby pin. 
• I wrap my hair with silk scarf and I sleep on a satin pillow to help scarf from slipping off ( I hate when that happens!)

That is it!  It sounds like a lot but it takes me about 5 or 10 minutes at night.  In the morning I just take my scarf off and my roots are pretty straight and the hair is wavy.  It give me the option of wearing my hair down with a little finger coming or up in a messy bun or ponytail of some sort. Best of all, no trip to the salon and I can keep that money in my pocket!  Here are a few other styles that are cute and very easy to do using the method I use.
