Silk heatless hair curlers are an  alternative to traditional heat styling tools for achieving beautiful curls without causing heat damage, whilst the natural properties of silk help to reduce frizz and prevent hair breakage.

How to use a heatless curler - your step-by step guide

Once you get comfortable with the step by step guide, it should take you only five to ten minutes to do this each time! Trust us, it will become your new go-to for effortless hairstyling!

1. Start with clean, 90% dry hair: Before using your no heat hair curler, make sure your hair is clean and almost dry. Wet or very damp hair will not hold curls well and hair is very delicate when wet, so we recommend waiting until it is almost dry. Having hair almost dry rather than completely dry will mean that there is still some elasticity to hold the curls well.

2. Divide hair and place heatless curler over head: Divide your hair in the middle so that you have hair in two equal sections. Place the silk curling ribbon over your head so that you have an even amount of ribbon hanging on either side of your face. You will use this heatless curling ribbon to curl each section of hair around in the next step - At this stage, you may wish to use a small clip to keep the curling rod in place whilst you wrap the hair around. 

3. Wrap hair around the heatless curler: First, take a small section of hair from the front of your face and wrap it once around the silk heatless curling ribbon, wrapping away from the face. When you go to wrap a second time, take another small section of hair together with the first strand and wrap them together. With each wrap, continue this process until all hair on that side of your head has been wrapped around the silk heatless curler.

TOP TIP: for tighter curls, use smaller strands of hair each time. For larger waves, use larger sections of hair. Experiment over time with different styles and amounts of hair to get to your preferred style. Make sure that with whatever size strand you are using, you wrap this tightly around the silk curling ribbon as this will help the curls form more effectively.

4. Secure the silk heatless hair curler with a the silk scrunchies: Once you have wrapped all hair on one side of the head around the curling ribbon, secure it in place with a scrunchie.

TOP TIP: Always make sure to use a silk scrunchie or silk hair tie to keep the curler securely in place, as silk hair scrunchies are soft and gentle on the hair to prevent hair breakage and tugging. This is especially important when using the silk heatless curler as your hair is still slightly damp, and so it is more delicate and prone to breakage compared to 100% dry hair.

5. Repeat on the other side: Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the other half of your hair on the other side.

6. Leave the heatless curler in overnight or for at least 2 hours: For best results, leave your silk heatless hair curler in overnight for at least 7 hours as this will help to ensure your curls hold for longer. Our silk heatless hair curler has been designed to have a flatter shape to make this more comfortable for sleeping. You can also clip the two ends of the silk curling ribbon at the top of your head to keep it away from your face as you sleep overnight.

TOP TIP: In a rush? If you are in a rush, you can achieve similar results by leaving in for a couple of hours on 70-80% dry hair, although you may find the curls do not hold as long as the overnight method. The amount of time that the curls hold will vary depending on hair type so it is worth testing this on your hair over different time periods to see the best results for your hair type.

7. Remove silk curling ribbon: After leaving the silk heatless hair curler ribbon for the desired amount of time, remove the silk scrunchies and gently unwind the curling ribbon from your hair. Try not to disturb the curls while you are removing the curler.

Style your overnight heatless curls as desired: Once you have removed the silk curling ribbon, use your fingers(not a brush as this tends to cause frizz and brushes out your curls!) to gently comb through your curls to get to the desired amount of wave or curls. If you are looking for looser waves, use a wide tooth comb to gently brush out the curls to form bouncy waves. 

TOP TIP: Use a light hold hairspray or hair oil to help set the curls. Do not use too much product as this can weigh down the hair which will cause the curls to drop faster.
