How to Make Non Heat Curls
Non heat curls are achieved by using various techniques that do not require heat tools like curling irons or flat irons. Some of the most popular non heat curling methods include:
- Braiding
- Twisting
- Bantu knots
- Flexi rods
- Roller sets
Each of these methods produces different types of curls, so it's important to choose the one that will give you the look you want.
Step-by-Step Guide
For this tutorial, we'll be using the braiding method. Here's how to make non heat curls using braids:
- Start with clean, damp hair. If your hair is dry, mist it lightly with water.
- Divide your hair into sections. The more sections you have, the tighter your curls will be.
- Take one section and divide it into three strands.
- Braid the three strands together, starting as close to your scalp as possible.
- Continue braiding until you reach the ends of your hair.
- Tie off the braid with a hair elastic.
- Repeat steps 3-6 for each section of hair.
- Leave the braids in overnight or until your hair is completely dry.
- Remove the hair elastics and gently unravel the braids.
- Use your fingers to style your curls as desired.
Voila! You now have non heat curls.
