Secrets to the Perfect No-Heat Curl

Everyone loves a head of beautiful curls. Loving the damage that often comes with it though is another story. There are some days where you want gorgeous waves and curls, but you have to ask yourself if it’s really worth it to fry your tresses in the process? While they may not deliver the full-body curls a tool, there are a number of workarounds that let escape the heat but keep waves. Try out our tips for no-heat curls and give your hair a break from hot tool-related damage but still have cute flirty locks.

The Tights Method
One of the newest ways you can give your body and bounce needs only a pair of tights. It’s a slight variation of the bathrobe version, but instead, you’ll use a pair of sheer tights to do the job. Place the tights over your head when your hair is damp. Then, you’ll want to French braid two sections using the stockings. In the morning take it all apart to free bouncy curls that don’t have the crimped look other methods make. If you don’t have any tights, the rope from a bathrobe easily subs in.

The Bobby Pin Way
If you want a pretty mane but don’t have much on hand, you still create beachy waves with nothing more than some bobby pins and hairspray. Move hair into two separate sections. Go through each section, taking one-inch pieces and wrapping the strands around two of your fingers, secure the curls with hair spray. Once you do this to all your hair wait 20-30 minutes before undoing and brushing. The final result is cute, loose waves.

The Overnight Braid
Braiding damp hair before going to bed is the oldest trick in the book when it comes to curling your locks minus the heat and tools. All you have to do is shower at night. When it’s not wet anymore, but there is still a little moisture left, style your hair into a braid or too and give it time to set. After a night’s rest, undo the braids and you have defined natural curls that didn’t need any heat to happen.
