How to get great looking curly hair without any heat.

I’ve always wanted to have super gorgeous curly hair, but I don’t want to damage my hair by applying so much heat through it with the use of curling tongs etc…


So, I did a bit of research and I came across some great ways of getting the perfect curls that last all day, with absolutely no heat.  The best tip I came across, and the one I use the most, is the twisting method. After blow drying your hair, split it into two sections like you would if you were plaiting your hair. Then, twist each section of hair in a clockwise motion until its tightly wrapped. Pin each twist on top of your hair with a bobbi pin, and then secure both sections with a hair clip at the top of your head so it’s not uncomfortable to sleep in. In the morning, take out the clip and shake your hair upside down. The results are brilliant, and the curls last all day long without having to apply hair spray.  
 

Another way to get a more tousled look is to sleep in plaits, the more plaits you section your hair off with, the tighter the waves will be. If you want a more tousled look, go for two loose plaits and sleep in them to create gorgeous wavey hair. If you are in mad rush and want to create this look, you can go over your plaits with a straightener, I know I said these tips included no heat, but a few goes over your braids with the straightener will give you instant waves which are great for a last minute night out.


Sleep in rollers are also a fantastic way to create big bouncy curls without any heat damage. I’ve reviewed these rollers before, so if you want a more detailed explanation of how they work, you can find that a few posts down. The rolls are great for creating big bouncy curls or a more subtle wave and flick depending on the direction you roll your hair. Although a little hard to sleep in, they do give fantastic results and I would recommend them to anyone wanting big curls that last all day.
