Before models stepped out onto the red carpet with bedhead—and a blast of salt spray all but replaced the Mason Pearson—there was everyone’s first hair icon: Mom. Projecting the kind of disheveled chic that comes when a heat-styling routine is traded in for a winningly tousled texture—helped along by a toddler tugging at every wisp—it’s no wonder that slept-in strands hold a special magic.
Take Keira Knightley, who was recently spotted with her daughter, Edie, while her long fuzzy layers acted as a multitasking mother’s badge of honor—a gorgeously relaxed look that might have inspired Kim Kardashian West to ditch the blow-dryer for a head of rippling waves and Chrissy Teigen to rework her windswept pieces into a thick textured ponytail while out for a stroll with her baby girl, Luna.
Never one to leave a good hair situation up to chance, Beyoncé elevated her brushed curls with a half-up knot, while Blue Ivy Carter sported sleek braids embellished with flowers for a shopping spree in New York City.

Just in time for summer’s last low-key hurrah, here are six reasons why a good air-dry beats the best blowout.
