Soft Roller / Curler Method
Not all of us are obsessed with curling irons. Some women are in love with these soft rollers or curlers, too. You can wrap your towel-dried hair around the curlers firmly, wait for hours, and unwrap to experience the magic! These are available in various sizes to fit your curling needs ideally.
Headband Method
You can get big, loose curls overnight if you have a stretchy headband right at your hand. Dampen your hair and then wear the headband around your forehead carefully. Wrap a 2-inch section from your damp locks around the headband and secure the end under it. Repeat until the rest of your hair is wrapped. Now, go to sleep. It will give you large, beautiful curls once you unwrap the hair sections in the morning.
Mousse Method
When getting heatless curls, a good hair mousse is a great choice. But you don’t need to put it all over your hair. Instead, dampen the lower half of the length of your dry hair and apply the mousse to that part only. Gently comb to distribute the product throughout your hair and make a bun. Once you let the hair go loose after a couple of hours, you will be blessed with soft, natural curls.
Clip Method
Do you have an extensive collection of hair clips? Well, you are just one step away from getting luscious curls. Start with damp hair, split it into several 2-inch sections, twist them one by one around your finger, and secure carefully on your scalp with the clips. After a few hours, put off the clips to reveal your excellent structured curls.
Bobby Pin Method
If you are not into hair styling much, the chances are that you do not have enough hair styling products in your arsenal. Worry not. You can still create some sexy spiral curls just by using some bobby pins. All you need to do is dampen your hair, divide it into multiple thin sections, fold each separately, and pin them into your scalp. Just wait 2-3 hours or go to bed by putting a shower cap on. Voila!
Multiple Bun Method
Want to skip even the bobby pins? We also have the ‘freehand’ method for you. You are good to go if you know how to make a bun. Start with slightly damp hair. Divide it into several 2-inch sections, make tiny buns out of them, and secure them with hair elastics right on the scalp. This method is excellent to try before a party as you can carry on your other tasks while wearing the little buns all over your head. After a few hours, undo each bun and shake them to get lovely curls.
T-Shirt Method
You probably have no idea how your old, ragged tee can give you amazing waves without heat. Before tossing it in the trash, cut it into as thin strips as possible and try this method. At first, you need to dampen your hair and split it into multiple 2-inch sections. Then, take a strip of the tee, roll one section of hair around it tightly, and tie both ends together with a hair elastic. Do this for all other sections of locks, too. Remove the tee strips once your hair dries up completely, and you will get gorgeous waves.
Braid Method
This is a classic way to achieve attractive beach waves without treating the tresses with heat or alcohol. You must braid up all your hair and leave it overnight to try this timeless technique. The best part of this braid method is that it gives us so much control of our style. For super tight curls, make small and tight braids. For all-over and uniform waves, part your hair in the middle, create two pigtails near the part, and then create French braids in those pigtails. A loose side braid will give you large, delicate waves with a little volume and bounce.
Try these cool tricks and protect your crowning glory from the damaging effects of heat. Don’t you love your healthy and dazzling curls now?
