Get Gorgeous Curls Without a Curling Iron! Try These Tips

Easy Curls for Soft Hair

Here’s a simple solution if you have soft hair: wash it, gently squeeze out the excess water, and then twist small sections into little buns (or “macarons” as they were once called). Just take a section of hair, twirl it, and once it coils into a bun, secure it with a hairpin. Allow your hair to air dry. When you let down your hair, you’ll be greeted with wavy, enticing locks! For a looser effect, try putting your wet hair up in a bun and let it dry. Afterwards, just add your favorite hair accessories.

Curling Straight Hair

For those with straight hair, braiding while damp can yield great results. If you have long, straight hair, you could also try wrapping strands around a pencil or a hair stick. It’s best to work one section at a time to ensure even coverage throughout your hair. Don’t hesitate to apply a curl-enhancing mousse to help your hair maintain its bounce.

Soft Blowout for Long Hair

When it comes to drying, you might also consider using curlers and then drying under a hooded dryer—a tried and true method from the days of yore! Alternatively, you can create curls by using a small round brush and a blow dryer, but this technique tends to work best on mid-length to long, layered, and naturally soft hair.
