The “I woke up this way” look is not as simple as just getting out of bed. It actually takes work to look au naturel. Unlike the no-makeup natural look, you do need to put in some work to get this trending runway style. 

With the right ingredients and maintenance, you can have the subtly sexy hair you deserve. Here’s your 101 guide to creating the perfect “naked hair” look. 

Mastering the laidback look

Letting your hair dry naturally is one way to get a laidback look. Unfortunately, naturally dried hair can have a mind of its own, and everyone's natural look is different. You’re looking for sexy and random, not sloppy and rogue. So what exactly do you need to do? You need to embrace the hair you have. 

This look can be achieved with short hair, long hair, and every length in between. While haircuts with layering make it easier to get texture, this is not a requirement. The right products can create texture for you, and the only difference will be how much product you need. Thick, coarse, and curly hair is already halfway there. Everyone else will need a little more help.

The steps to getting unstyled hair that looks healthy, are simple. It takes a little work, but in the end, it will be worth it. People will turn heads in awe, wondering how you look so great and so natural. But don’t worry, the effort you put in will be our little secret.

♦ Wash your hair with a nourishing shampoo, like Hair La Vie Shampoo, to maintain strength and boost shine. Lather in the shampoo for a few minutes, massaging your scalp. Naturally derived ingredients, including essential proteins, nutrients, and vitamins work together to detoxify, restore, and reinvigorate  your hair's natural glow and strength. 

♦ Add texturizing creams or sea salt sprays before drying. To get the most texture and volume, dry your hair thoroughly with a diffuser dryer. 

♦ If you don’t have a diffuser, simply dry your hair upside down. Tousling your hair as it dries will help separate strands. The key to a “naked” look is not having hair clumped together. 

♦ Longer hair may require the help of a curling tool because the extra weight can pull hair down. You don’t want limp hair. To make it lively yet laid back, add a few curls using a curling wand. Alternate holding the wand vertically and horizontally to achieve a messy look. If curls are too tight, pull them apart with your fingers. 

♦ Add finishing gloss Hair La Vie Serum to give a natural shine. Scrunch your hair if it’s short or gently shake your head if it’s longer. Your natural bed head look is ready to go. 

Naked and healthy

Looking messy is in, but unhealthy is not. You can achieve a “naked” look without denying your hair nutrition, moisture, and strength. Key ingredients to maintain hair health include:

♦ Keratin. This is a natural moisturizer that leaves hair soft, shiny, and full.

♦ Saw palmetto. This infuses each strand with strength.

♦ Peppermint oil. This natural oil fortifies hair strength at the cuticles.

♦ Coconut oil. Another natural ingredient, coconut oil is easily absorbed to support the work of your hair’s natural proteins.

As part of your regular hair care routine, these ingredients will keep your hair healthy and ready for any style. 

Dry, brittle, dull, and frizzy hair will ruin your “naked hair” look. Before you know it, you’ve gone from sexy to sloppy.

This is the perfect pairing of a gentle cleanser and moisturizing conditioner to boost the health of your hair from within.

Final thoughts

With some work and products that boost hair health, you can be “naked,” or at least your hair can be. Be your most natural self by promoting hair health from within. When your hair is nourished and healthy, any style is effortless.

Getting the “naked” look is simple, and so is caring for your hair. Once you put the work into establishing a healthy routine for your hair, the ultimate pay off is in the long term health of your hair. To get the look, though, all you need is the right nutrients and the right styling tips. So, give your locks a natural look and be perfectly imperfect!
