No Blow Dry July: Embrace Effortless Summer Styles with Shibui

Summer is in full swing, and there's no better time to give your hair a break from the heat. Say hello to No Blow Dry July… a celebration of effortless, air-dried styles that look as good as they feel! Ditching the heat doesn’t mean sacrificing style! With the right products, you can achieve smooth, frizz-free, radiant hair with no hot tools required! Ready to air it out? Here are some of our favorite heatless hairstyles and the Shibui products you need to make them happen!

The Effortless Wave 

There’s nothing quite like beachy, undone waves in the summer. To get that lived-in, tousled texture without heat, start by applying Air Dry Creme to damp hair. This lightweight, multi-tasking styler helps enhance your natural wave pattern, tame frizz, and add soft, touchable hold! 

How to style: After applying Air Dry Creme to mid-lengths and ends, scrunch your hair gently and let it dry naturally. You can also braid your hair loosely and let it air-dry to create soft, natural bends! 

The Sleek & Polished Bun 

Looking for a way to beat the heat and still look polished? A sleek bun is your answer—and Shibui’s Taming Lotion is the secret weapon. This smoothing lotion offers soft control while fighting frizz and flyaways, making it ideal for chic updos and low buns. Our Nourishing Working Spray is perfect for locking in these easy styles before heading out the door! 

How to style: Work a small amount of Taming Lotion through damp or dry hair, comb it back into a bun or twist, and secure. For an extra smooth finish, use a boar-bristle brush to slick it down and tuck any flyaways. Finish with a quick spritz of Nourishing Working Spray.  

The Scrunched & Textured Look 

Shibui’s Creme Gel Elixir and Volumizing Mousse are ideal for achieving defined, voluminous waves without the crunch. The Creme Gel Elixir offers a soft, flexible hold with a smooth finish, enhancing curls or waves without stiffness. The Volumizing Mousse boosts root lift and adds airy body, making hair look fuller and bouncier without weighing it down.

How to style: Start with damp hair and apply a small amount of Creme Gel Elixir from mid-lengths to ends, using your fingers to scrunch as you go. Follow up by working the Volumizing Mousse into the roots and crown for extra lift. Let your hair air-dry naturally or use a diffuser on a low setting if you want a little extra definition. This duo is ideal for creating heatless waves that last all day with volume, movement, and shine!
