How to Curl Your Hair Naturally

Weddings, other formal events, and more informal gatherings are excellent venues for wearing curls. They're simple to make when you want to give your hair a boost. Although only a few women are born with naturally formed curls, it is not hard to get the same look at home. There are a few basic ways to curl your hair naturally to avoid damaging your hair.

Twist and Press

Rough drying our hair after a bath is something we are all guilty of; however, the vigorous action may damage natural curls and promote an unpleasant frizz. To preserve your curls and give them volume, use the "push and twist" approach, which is softer. Instead of rubbing the hair back and forth, use a towel to massage and twist it gently. When you dry your hair by excessively rubbing it, you force your hair cuticles up, resulting in frizz.

Braid Your Hair

Braiding the hair before bedtime and sleeping with it in is an easy technique to get beach curls without using heat. It will be easier to remove those braids the following morning and use smoothing hair products to eliminate any tangles. It is important to use a multipurpose smoothing oil to define the curls.

Scrunching

This is the simplest method if you're lucky enough to have hair with a little texture. Scrunch wet hair upwards after spraying with sea salt spray from the mid-shaft to the ends. This method can help you get a beachy look by enhancing the natural waves.

Hair Rollers

Before discovering a hairdryer, rollers were a popular option for those with curly hair, and they remain so today. When the hair is about 80% dry, use some hair rollers to wrap it up in portions. To keep the hair in place while you sleep, use a scarf to wrap it over your head. Separate the hair by combing through it with your fingers after waking up.

Headband

Curling your hair naturally is simple by using a regular headband. This technique is great for loose waves, not tight rolls. It's as simple as putting on an elastic headband like you usually would. Loop as many strands of hair as desired over the headband, depending on the length of your hair. Untangle the hair from your headband and separate the loose curls with a comb after you wake up.

Twists

You may use anything from toilet paper to a pipe cleaner when it comes to twists. If your hair is longer and thicker, you may get overwhelmed by how much effort is involved. Take a strand of hair and wrap it up from the bottom in your twist material. Clip the twist-off after you've reached the desired height for your curls. Repeat the process on all of the hair strands. Allow to air dry or use a blow dryer with no heat to speed up the process. To separate the curls, undo all the twists while running the fingers through them. This is an excellent method for creating various styles, from tight curls to loose waves.

Tying a Bun  

Wash or dampen the hair to start this process. Make sure to comb your hair to prevent tangles carefully. Make one top-of-the-head bun for loose curls or 2 distinct buns by splitting and wrapping the hair to achieve more wavy curls. Use bobby pins along with a hair tie to firmly secure the bun. Begin unravelling the bun after about an hour or so.

Using an Old T-shirt

Even if it's challenging, it's also a lot of fun. Cut slender strips from an old t-shirt. Place strands of hair on the strips. Roll the cloth upwards till it reaches your scalp after tying the strips to the end of the hair strand. Twist and go over the remainder of your hair in the same manner. Afterwards, unravel the knots and separate the curls with your hands.

Conclusion

Styling your hair by using heat styling products such as curling irons, flat irons, or blow-dryers causes damage to the hair, frizz, and structural damage to the hair strands. Luckily, if you follow the tips above, you can learn easy ways to curl your hair naturally without using heat.
