Six ways to achieve stunning styles without heat styling tools

You can achieve stunning curls without using any heat by following these simple yet effective methods:

  1. Braiding

How to do it: Start by washing your hair and allowing it to dry until it’s slightly damp, but not soaking wet. Divide your hair into sections based on your preference—one or two sections for loose waves or multiple sections for tighter curls. Begin braiding each section, ensuring the braids are tight if you desire more defined curls.

Best for: If you use one or two braids, you’ll get lovely loose waves. Conversely, multiple braids will give you tighter, springy curls.

Tip: For best results, leave the braids in overnight. When you unravel your hair in the morning, you’ll have beautifully bouncy curls.

  1. Twisting

How to do it: After washing, towel dry your hair until it’s slightly damp. Section your hair into manageable parts. Take each section and twist it tightly from the roots to the ends. Once twisted, wrap each section into a small bun and secure it with a hair tie or pin.

Best for: This method is great for achieving natural, beachy waves.

Tip: For smoother curls, apply a leave-in conditioner before twisting your hair. This will help prevent frizz and add extra moisture.

  1. Rollers or Flexi Rods

How to do it: With damp hair, take rollers or flexi rods and wrap sections of hair around them. Make sure to secure them well to prevent any slipping. The key is to ensure your hair is completely dry when you take them out.

Best for: This technique provides defined curls with added volume.

Tip: To create varied curl patterns, experiment with different sizes of rollers or rods, as larger ones will yield looser curls while smaller ones create tighter spirals.

  1. Headband Method

How to do it: Begin by placing an elastic headband around your head, ensuring it’s snug but comfortable. With damp hair, start wrapping sections around the headband, tucking them in securely as you go. Continue this until all your hair is wrapped.

Best for: This method gives you loose, romantic waves.

Tip: For enhanced hold, consider applying a light mousse to your hair before wrapping it around the headband. This will give your waves extra definition once they are released.

  1. Bantu Knots

How to do it: Begin by dividing your damp hair into several sections. For each section, twist it tightly from the base to the ends and then coil the twisted section into a small knot. Secure the knot with a small elastic or a hairpin.

Best for: This method is excellent for achieving tight, springy curls with a lot of texture.

Tip: Applying a light oil before twisting can add shine and help to define the curls once you release the knots.

  1. French Twist Technique

How to do it: With damp hair, start twisting sections of hair back from your face toward the crown of your head. Secure the twists with pins, making sure they feel firm yet comfortable.

Best for: This method provides subtle, natural waves that look effortlessly chic.

Tip: After leaving it in overnight, gently brush through the curls in the morning for a softer, more romantic look.

  • Setting time: Always allow your hair to set for several hours or overnight for the best results. The longer you leave your chosen method in place, the more defined and lasting your curls will be.
