Kick dry ends, frizzy strands, and fading color to the curb and opt for these celebrity stylist-approved heatless hairstyles using UNITE Hair to help maintain your clients' hair health and prevent further damage.
HAIR LENGTH: Short
STYLE: Half-Braided Space Buns
“I love this look because it’s simple and keeps your hair out of your face while still being trendy for summer pool parties, lake or beach days, and weekend brunches,” says celebrity stylist Tyler Bishop who recently created the style for blogger Mallory Ervin.
Get the Look:
- Prep wet hair with 7SECONDS Detangler for heat UV protection from and add moisture back into the hair
- Spray the top section that you’re going to braid with TEXTURIZA Spray for grip and begin the braids. You can do this style with one or two braids!
- Tie off the braid right before you get to the crown of the head so the buns aren’t in the back but standing up so they can be seen. Finish with an elastic or mini bobby pin to hold.
HAIR LENGTH: Long
STYLE: Rope Braid
“I love a good rope braid," Bishop says. "These can be used not only to keep hair cute on the water, but also to be trendy going to brunch or dinner with the girls."
Get the Look:
- Prep wet hair with SMOOTH&SHINE Styling Cream for a glossy finish, or 7SECONDS Detangler for a more normal finish. These will both combat UV damage and add instant hydration.
- Using the arch of your clients' brow as your guide, pull hair up into your high pony or double pony
- Once secured with an elastic, spray Le:Play Hairspray for hold and split the ponytail(s) in half. Twist the two pieces together in a clockwise motion through the ends. Secure the end with an elastic.
HAIR LENGTH: Long
STYLE: Towel Curls
“I love the heatless trend that’s going around where you roll up a towel and put on your head like a crown and then you just gently wrap all your hair into the towel and let it dry. This gives you great curls with no heat required,” says celebrity stylist and UNITE Ambassador, Graham Nation.
Get the Look:
- On damp hair, apply 7SECONDS Detangler and BOOSTA Thickening Creme through mid length to ends. If you want to achieve more volume, apply a little bit of ELEVATE Mousse through the end as well.
- Next, take a large hand towel (or rope from a robe) and roll it up and place it at the top of the head like a crown.
- Take hair from the fringe area and start wrapping around the towel working towards the back of the head adding more secretions as you go until all sections are wrapped.
- Let dry and remove the towel to reveal beautiful curls.
- Once your waves are dried and ready to style, apply U:DRY High Dry Shampoo at roots and TEXTURIZA Spray through ends to help give hair life and let waves live.
HAIR LENGTH: Medium
STYLE: Crimped Waves
Get the Look:
- On damp hair, apply BOOSTA Volumizing Spray spray and ELEVATE Mousse from roots to ends.
- Section off hair into 5 to 7 large sections and start braiding each section.
- Let dry completely and undo braids and SMOOTH&SHINE Styling Cream to help break up the waves
- Finish off with TEXTURIZA Spray to add volume and shape to roots.
