Heatless curls technique

Written by Sheli Nuñez

For many years now the consumer approach to hair has pivoted. Now we all aim at having gorgeous hair without all the damage. Which I am fully supporting because there’s no need to sacrifice its health over aesthetics. Recently, women have been looking for ways to curl their hair with no heat tools. They’ve use anything from rollers to socks, apparently anything that you can wrap your hair in should do the trick. I’ve done an extensive research to save you the struggles of trial and error. I’ve found that to achieve the best results it is a combination of using the right tools and technique.

First and foremost, your hair should be clean and dry. To get long lasting results it’s best to apply a bit of water or a leave in spray, don’t over do it. Your hair shouldn’t be soaking wet, it should be close to damp but not quite. If you have bangs it’s best to separate them and use a roller to ensure they’ll curl just right.

Now it’s time for the most crucial part of the routine. I know there are many women encouraging to use leggings and socks for this but please don’t. Your results will be frizzy and dry hair, you don’t want that. Instead try a satin scarf or a satin roller, it should be soft and flexible. It’s best to wrap your hair as tightly as possible, you don’t want the roller moving too much while you sleep. If you have layers, don’t worry, you can wrap a bit first and then on top wrap a longer piece to secure it. After you finish secure your hair with satin scrunchies and a satin cap so you’ll wake up to flawless hair.

In the morning you don’t have to stress much, the hardest part is over. Apply a bit of oil to your hands before you start unraveling the hair, this’ll minimize the frizz. Be gentle when you separate the curls and apply the remaining oil from your hands to have shiny curls. At this point you should be looking like you just walked out of the salon. Embrace the confidence of knowing you have gorgeous healthy hair.
