Heat isn’t always our best friend, especially when it comes to our hair. To save us from looking flat or frizzy, we’ve put together a list of summer-friendly hairstyles that require little to no product because face it—that’s the last thing we need this sweat-fueled season.

Getting your hair up and off the nape of your neck is a quick and easy way to beat the heat. Instead of using product to tame flyaways, use hair accessories as embellishments and to hold hair in place!

Wear it up or down, the short and shaggy scissor cut is the cut of the season. If you’re looking to style your crop, a pea-sized dollop of matte pomade messily scrunched into damp hair will do the trick.
