No one could resist big, lush curls; however, using heat styling tools like a flat iron or wand to achieve them can damage your locks. Instead, why not try these easy, no-heat curling techniques to create that stunning look?
Perfecting this technique takes some practice, but the results speak for themselves: stunning soft curls perfect for prom or any special event are achievable with this method.
TikTok users have likely encountered numerous hair hacks using scrunchies to achieve beautiful curls with heat-free methods, especially those with finer locks. This tip may prove particularly helpful for those with fine locks as an easy and cost-efficient solution for curling their locks!
Once your curl is set, allow it to relax before pinning it to your head with duckbill clips or bobby pins. This allows the coils to develop fully and help maintain their shape over time. Another tip for prolonging the lifespan of your curls is avoiding too much product before and during curling – this will prevent weighted moisturizing products from weighing your curls down and prompting them to deflate more rapidly.
The straw method offers an enjoyable, budget-friendly solution for curling hair without using heat. It’s especially suitable for those trying to maintain relaxation or transition into natural locks without damaging them using other styles like hot irons. While results may only last for a short time, this style still remains an excellent option for those who don’t wish to damage their locks with heat damage.
Begin by moistening a section of hair and wrapping it tightly around a straw before rolling it upward towards your scalp and securing it with rubber hair ties. Repeat this process on all remaining sections until you achieve your desired look. To extend the longevity of straw curls, she suggests applying setting lotion. Brushing them out using a Denman brush before sleeping in them at night and breaking apart each clump as soon as you take them out in the morning should help eliminate frizz and keep your curls intact.
Heatless curling typically involves sleeping with damp hair and waking up with curlier or wavier locks. Some methods emphasize natural curl patterns, while others create more defined and voluminous coils.
Applying the popular TikTok trend of “plopping (or rolling),” you can use pillowcases or cotton T-shirts to form tight coils in small sections of hair, creating the effect of natural waves or curls in small increments. This technique works exceptionally well if your locks feature wild waves or curls.
Another way to achieve overnight curls is using a stretchy headband to form loose and soft waves in four or more sections of hair. Once completed, finger comb your locks before adding some hold- and shine-enhancing product like hairspray – you’re set! For optimal results, you could even try Verb’s collection of products designed specifically to keep curls healthy, beautiful, and beautiful!
An effective way to achieve beautiful curls without using hot tools is by twisting damp hair into low buns or ballerina buns and twisting or wrapping too tightly, as this could stretch out the curl pattern and lead to frizz. Instead, try using some bobby pins to hold everything in place.
To add a more glamorous touch to this heatless curly hair technique, consider adding glitter or sequins and hair spray to ensure the style holds all day. Doing this may increase the likelihood that it stays put. This look only requires minutes to create. Just be sure to use quality hairspray, and don’t sleep with buns in your hair, as this could damage their curls and ruin the style. Sleeping with wet hair in a towel could also hurt its cuticle layers and cause irreparable damage to strands.
