HowTo Curl Your Hair Without Heat?
Womenhave been curling their hair without heat for centuries! Most of these methods
incorporate going to bed with hair that is slightly damp and waking up with
perfectly curled hair. Some work to emphasize the natural wave in your hair. Go
through the list to find the best method for the look and style that you’re
going for.
1. Scrunching
Scrunchingwill enhance the natural curl in your hair, making it wavy, or curly depending
on your natural hair texture. It’s one of the quickest and easiest methods to
get some messy curls.

Method
1.
Wash your hair with a
volumizing shampoo and then condition.
2.
Apply the conditioner only to
the ends of your hair, so it does not weigh your hair down. Detangle while you
do this.
3.
Rinse your hair thoroughly to
get rid of any residue.
4.
Squeeze the water out with a
towel. Do not rub your hair with the towel as it will cause breakage and frizz.
Instead, squeeze gently to get excess water out.
5.
While your hair is still damp,
pump out a golf-ball sized amount of mousse, or a pea-sized amount of gel.
6.
Bend forward and start
scrunching your hair with the product. Scrunch your hair with the same motion
used to crumple a piece of paper.
7.
Do not get any product near
your roots, as this might make your hair appear greasy. Keep scrunching upward
and let your hair dry.
2. Pin Curls
This classic style will never go out offashion, and it is also super easy way to curl hair without heat. All you’d have to do is pin your hair before bed to wake up
with gorgeous curls in the morning.

Method
1.
Wash your hair with a good
volumizing shampoo and then condition. It would be a good idea to detangle your
hair with a wide-tooth comb while you condition it.
2.
Towel dry your hair but ensure
that you are gently squeezing excess water out of your hair rather than rubbing
your hair with the towel.
3.
Apply some hair gel, or any
other product that gives you hold.
4.
Section out the crown of your
hair. Secure it in a bun. You will be working on this section last.
5.
Take a 1-inch section of your
hair from the side wrap the end around your index finger to create a loop. Hold
it in place with your thumb and index finger.
6.
Start rolling the section
upwards until it is snug against your roots. Ensure that you are rolling the
hair up, away from your face.
7.
Hold the rolled up section flat
against your scalp and secure it with a hairpin. If the sections are too thick,
your hair pins will leave indentations in your hair.
8.
Repeat this process with the
rest of your hair. Once you are done with the bottom, work on the crown until
all of your hair is secured with pins.
9.
Wrap your hair with a silkscarf to keep the pins in place and go to sleep. The scarf will also help
absorb the moisture from your hair.
10.
Wake up in the morning
and undo your curls. Only remove the pins when your hair is completely dry. Do
not use a blow dryer as it will frizz up your hair and undo curls.
11.
Once you’ve removed all the
pins, gently finger-comb your hair to remove the piecey appearance. Use some
hairspray for extra hold.
3. Braiding

4. Velcro Rollers
Velcrorollers are a great curling alternative, and they also save your hair from heat
damage while giving your hair body and volume. For tight curls choose smaller
sizes, and for big voluminous hair with waves, go for larger ones.

Method
1.
Wash your hair with a
volumizing shampoo or simply dampen it using a spray bottle.
2.
Squeeze out the excess moisture
from your hair using a towel.

If you have thick hair, section
it and roll your hair upwards. You can skip sectioning if your hair is fine.
4.
Ensure that you are rollingupwards until the rollers sit snugly against your scalp.
5.
You will not need to use pins
to secure the rollers. If the roller isn’t sticking, it is possible that the
section you’ve taken is too thick.
6.
Wait for a couple of hours with
the rollers in your hair until it is completely dry. You can use this time to
do your makeup or finish up chores around the house.
7.
Undo the curls and finger combyour hair. Finish with hairspray for hold.

method is my personal favorite because of the tight, springy curls it gives
you. The Bantu method works well for all hair types and helps calm your frizz
while giving you some perfectly defined curls.
