Heatless Hair Hacks
Let's be honest with each other. We've all experienced a bad hair day. Either you were running late or maybe it had been a week since your last wash. It's okay, we've all been there. My go-to fix? The usual suspect. The heating iron. But what if I told you that those split ends and breakage of your hair is actually caused by overusing heating tools?
It's time to shake things up. Get creative and become your own hairstylist. The only rule? No heat allowed. Don't Panic. I've got you covered with the best hair hacks and products for salon-quality hairstyles. Let's go!
Hack 1: It's All About the Base
Setting yourself up for success starts by priming your hair. Manage your hair with Joico Daily Care Leave-In Detangler. Avoid starting your day frustrated, as you fail to comb those tangles out. Do yourself and your hair a favour. Spraying on towel-dried hair, the spray effectively detangles and moisturizes your locks. As well as adding extra shine for that desirable glossy look. The best part? No heat required. Let the spray do its thing!

Hack 3: The Towel Dry (you've been doing it wrong!)
The shampoo and conditioner you use are now your two best friends. Choose your friends wisely, picking the ones most suitable for you. Whether it be for dry, fine, oily, curly or coloured hair, we've got you covered. Paul Mitchell's shampoo and conditioner range are perfect for all hair types.
One more thing. Air Drying. We've been doing it wrong. Yes, shaking the towel over your head can be a quick fix to that wet head of hair. However, in doing so you're actually causing split ends and damage. As upcoming hairdressers, we don't want this for the styling process. Instead, try patting your hair, gently squeezing the towel from your roots to tips. Now you're ready to start styling.
