Embracing your curls doesn’t always mean having to resort to heat styling tools that can damage your hair. The beauty of no-heat curls lies in their ability to give your hair a break from the stress of styling while still achieving bouncy, beautiful curls. Here are three tips to try.
The Power of Braids
Braiding your hair when damp is a simple yet effective way to create beautiful waves or curls. The tighter the braid, the tighter the curl definition. French Braids are a classic option for creating stunning, loose waves. Simply braid your wet hair and release the braid when dried.
Flexi Rods or Foam Rollers for Defined Curls
For more defined curls, flexi rods or foam rollers can be your best friends. These tools are gentle on the hair and come in various sizes for different curl types.
The Sock Bun Technique
Lastly, this clever method utilizes a clean sock (or a bun maker sock) to create voluminous curls. Here’s how:
- Start with damp hair and gather your hair into a high ponytail.
- Slip the sock over the ponytail end, creating a donut shape.
- Evenly wrap the remaining hair around the sock donut and tuck the ends underneath.
- Secure the bun with bobby pins and unravel when dry.
