5 ways to get perfect curls without a curling iron

Curls are a constant companion of any festive look. And even the lack of a curling iron or curling iron should not be an obstacle to this. Without further ado, here are 5 ways to get waves without a styler.

Curly Girl Method

If you have perfectly smooth strands, the “curly girl” method is unlikely to bring the desired results. This method is only suitable for those whose hair is at least slightly curly. And the effect will resemble careless curls of surfers. So let’s go in order:

– Wash your hair thoroughly with a mild shampoo.

— Apply conditioner along the length of your hair using squeezing movements. It is important that all products do not contain aggressive surfactants and silicones (they weigh down and flatten the hair). Comb the strands with your hand or comb and rinse the product.

– Squeeze your hair with a towel, remove excess moisture, still use squeezing motions.

— Apply care spray to the hair strands (if the product is in a different format, you should already know how to apply it).

— Choose a styling product (gel, mousse or salt spray) and apply it to your hair.

– Dry your hair upside down using a hair dryer with a diffuser.

Therefore, most likely, a caste (a crust of gel) has formed on the hair, which can be easily broken by hand. Style is ready!

braids

The good old way is to sleep with braids. It works perfectly. The next morning you will have wavy curls in the style of the heroes of the paintings of Sandro Botticelli (the Italian Renaissance artist who painted the painting “The Birth of Venus”).

You can make these curls in a few hours. Wash your hair and when your hair is slightly dry but still damp, divide it into several sections and braid your hair one by one. You can apply foam to the strands first. Leave it for two to three hours and carefully untwist your braids without combing them. Separate your curls and spray them with salt spray to set.

Hair band

Another way to create curls is to use a headband (some people also use a robe belt for this method). The procedure is as follows:

— Wash your hair and apply the styling product along the entire length without waiting for your hair to dry completely.

– Put the hair band on your head, separate a small section of your hair (about 3-5 cm wide) and comb it thoroughly.

— Wrap the strand of hair around the headband, as far away from your face as its length allows.

– Do the same with all the curls.

– Wait until your hair is completely dry.

– Carefully remove the bandage, separate the curls from combing and fix the hairstyle with hairspray or salt spray.

hair braids

This method will appeal to those who like messy hairstyles and small curls. Therefore follow the instructions:

— Wash your hair and apply the styling product along the entire length without waiting for your hair to dry completely.

– Divide the entire hair mass into thin strands.

—Twist each one individually into a tight bundle, then wrap into a small bun and secure with a hair tie.

— Go to bed or wait about 8-12 hours. Now you can remove the pins and untwist the strands to create a style.

— Finally, fix the resulting curls with a spray.

Spikelet made of fabric

You will need a few pieces of cotton fabric for this method. And follow the instructions:

— Wash your hair and apply the styling product along the entire length without waiting for your hair to dry completely.

— Divide the entire hair mass into several zones.

— Prepare pieces of fabric in advance according to the number of future spikelets.

— Grab the base of the wire with a cloth and start knitting a regular spikelet with it.

— Hide the middle end and tie with an elastic band.

— Go to bed or wait about 8-12 hours. Now you can remove the pins and untwist the strands to create a style.

— Secure the resulting curls with a spray.
