The Magic of Hair Rollers
Whether you're going for a chic, vintage look or just want to add some bounce to your hair, hair rollers are a great alternative to a curling iron. Here's how to use them:
Step 1: Start with clean, dry hair. If your hair is damp, it won't hold the curl as well.
Step 2: Section off your hair. You can either do this with clips or by using a comb to create neat parts. The smaller the sections, the tighter the curls will be.
Step 3: Take a hair roller and roll it up towards your scalp, starting at the ends of your hair. Secure the roller with a clip or use the built-in fastener.
Step 4: Repeat until all sections of your hair are rolled up. Leave the rollers in for at least an hour or overnight for more defined curls.
Braids for Beachy Waves
If you're going for a more natural look, braids are a great way to achieve beachy waves without heat. Here's how to do it:
Step 1: Start with damp hair. If your hair is too wet, it won't dry in time for you to go out.
Step 2: Section off your hair into small sections. The smaller the sections, the more defined the waves will be.
Step 3: Braid each section of hair, making sure to braid all the way to the ends.
Step 4: Leave the braids in for at least a few hours or overnight for more defined waves.
The Twist and Pin Method
If you're short on time and want to add some quick curls to your hair, the twist and pin method is a great option. Here's how to do it:
Step 1: Start with dry hair. If your hair is damp, it won't hold the curl as well.
Step 2: Section off your hair into small sections.
Step 3: Twist each section of hair away from your face. The tighter the twist, the tighter the curl will be.
Step 4: Pin each twist to your head using bobby pins or hair clips. Leave the twists in for at least an hour or until your hair is completely dry.
