Before starting, gather these materials to make the process easier:
- An alternate is a hairbrush or a wide-tooth comb.

Step-by-Step Heatless Curling Tutorial
1. Prepare Your Hair
It is recommendable to start when your hair is slightly damp and after washing well. If your hair is dry, spray a bottle of water over your hair; this should be done gently though. Hair should be slightly wet to allow styling by molding and it will curl better when wet. Do not leave your hair submerged in water as this will not dry up well at night.
2. Choose Your Heatless Curling Method
Now let’s have a look at a few basic techniques on how to make heatless curls. Below are some of the most popular techniques:
- Bathrobe Belt Method Put a belt that is used in a bathrobe around the head in a manner that it forms a crown kind of arrest.
- Now, cut your hair in half vertically to create two halves of your head.
- Pull every part around your own belt and add more hair close to it like the process you undertake when making a French braid.
- Tie the ends with scrunchies and let it sit for the night.
- A silk or satin scarf: although this is recommended with all the overnight methods it is, nonetheless, an optional asset.
B. Foam Rollers or Flexi Rods
- Divide your hair into fine sections.
- Encircle every part of the section with a foam roller or use a flexi rod to style it up.
- Lock the roller in position and perform this for all zones.
- Depending on usage, let it dry before you detoxify and wash off your hair.
C. Braiding Method
- Apply your setting lotion of choice and section your damp hair in two, three or four depending on how much tension you want to apply for the curls.
- Pull the section towards and braid it tightly and tie the hair ends with the help of rubber bands.
- Go to sleep and then untangle the braids in the morning where you will get loose waves.
3. Let Your Hair Set Thus, it will be ideal if you let your hair remain in a specific style for 6-8 hours or overnight. If you are pressed for time, use a faster setting method, for instance drying your hair using a blow dryer as you wear it.
4. Unravel and Style Easing detangle your hair using scrunchies, rollers or ties. Gently finger comb the curls apart using your fingers and twirl/ fluff the curls between your fingers. I do not recommend using a brush because it creates volume and frizz.
5. Set Your Curls To enhance the curls maintain the hair by using light hair spray or styling hair cream. For a nice sheen, the solution is to put a few drops of hair serum.
Tips for Perfect Heatless Curls Every Time
Use Satin or Silk: This is mostly applicable for women who take their hair folded: wear a satin scarf during the day and during the night wear a silk scarf or sleep on a silk pillow case to reduce frizz at night or during the moment when you wake up.
Don’t Overwet: Do not exaggerate with the hair wetness; if not thoroughly dried, it will not hold the curl properly.
Experiment with Sections: When the hair is divided into smaller parts, much curlier waves are formed, if the parting is done in large sections loosely wavy hair results. Practice Makes Perfect: Learning how to do the wrapping might take several attempts, but the outcome is really awesome.
I’ll show you with this heatless curling tutorial that stunning curls can be created without having to spend a lot of money on tools or use damaging heat.
