Need an idea to help avoid using heat to style your hair? Try sleeping in a neat braid before bed. It’s my go to option to have a textured & little bit undone look.

The key components are to ensure your hair is tangle free, add in a leave in conditioner, and start the braid high enough to give an even wave in the hair so you avoid it looking straight on top, and curly on the bottom. I recommend to start it at the crown of the head.

I also recommend touching up your ends if you have to, so they don’t look too straight. If you have a waver on hand, this would be great, or you can rock a flat iron back and forth to mimic a waver.

Lastly, do NOT comb through with a brush. Just use your fingers, and flip your head upside down to shake out the root. You can be pretty vigorous. This will help with volume & separation, without it looking like you stuck your finger in a light socket (trust me from experience😅🤣).

If it doesn’t turn out, don’t lose hope! Keep at it and you’ll find what works. If it’s helpful I can post a photo of what my hair will look like in a braid before bed as an example.

I hope this helps🪄🤎
