Victory rolls are incredibly easy heatless hairstyles to create. They make for a great and unexpected style that doesn’t require heat. Best achieved on second-day hair, creating this look isn’t too difficult to create. Start by sectioning off the hair you want to roll with some clips. Then, grab the ends of your hair and form it into a small loop. To form your roll, take your loop, and proceed to roll your hair up. Secure with some bobby pins, and use a strong-hold hairspray, like Dove Style+Care Extra Hold Hairspray, to help secure your look.

2. Short, Natural Hair Twist Crown

If you’re looking for perfectly defined waves, twists are the way to go. This style is super easy to do after washing your hair.

Pull your hair into a high ponytail. We suggest securing the ponytail with a scrunchie to avoid any hard lines and then split the tail portion of your hair into two sections. Twist the two sections around each other until you get an inch or two from the ends. Tie off your hair and get to sleep! Wake up and shake out your hair! Easy heatless hairstyles without a sweat! Enjoy your perfectly sculpted wavy hair overnight.

11. Wavy Hair From Braids

We’re sure you know all about getting wavy hair overnight with braids.Braids turn into seriously cute heatless hairstyles. We suggest just doing one braid to get a loose beachy texture. The more braids you do, the tighter your waves will be. If you want to go all out, you can do a whole bunch of braids to create a wavy crimped look.

For looser styles, start with your freshly washed hair and add a little volume to the roots. This is key for many overnight hairstyles since many can come out looking flat. Pump up your roots with a golf-ball-sized amount of the Nexxus Styling Mousse Plus. Then, loosely braid your hair all the way down and secure with a hair tie. Shake out your braid in the morning to wear your waves.

12. Wavy Hair From Buns

For a curlier wavy look, go for buns. You could do several mini buns all over like Bantu knots for a much curlier look. But for a wavy look, go for one or two buns. The bigger the bun is, the more likely it will look wavy instead of curly.
