I am trying to use seaborn, because of its distplot function. But I prefer the default matplotlib settings. When I import seaborn, it changes automatically the appearance of my figure.
How can I use seaborn functions without changing the look of the plots?

Method 1
Version 0.8 (july 2017) changed this behaviour. From https://seaborn.pydata.org/whatsnew.html#v0-8-0-july-2017:
The default (seaborn) style is no longer applied when seaborn is
imported. It is now necessary to explicitly call set() or one or more
of set_style(), set_context(), and set_palette(). Correspondingly, the
seaborn.apionly module has been deprecated.
For older versions, Import seaborn like this:
import seaborn.apionly as sns
and then you should be able to use sns.distplot but maintain the default matplotlib styling + your personal rc configuration.
Method 2
According to documentation reset_orig restore all RC params to original settings:
import seaborn as sns # reset RC params to original sns.reset_orig()
