But, you may have more questions to get the most out of your handiwork. Fear not. We’ve got the answers to your most queried questions. So now you can achieve bouncy curls that last... And last...
Can I use heatless curls on wet hair
Ideally, no – not that you can’t try. We've found that wrapping your locks while they’re still wet means they not only need to work hard to take the shape of the curls, but also dry at the same time. So, when you take your hair out, they might not be 100% dry, resulting in the curls dropping quite quickly. We suggest starting with lengths that are 70-80% dry... In other words, your strands are wet enough for your hair to easily wrap, but dry enough that there’s elasticity to hold onto their shape.
Is it ok to do heatless curls every night
Do heatless curls hold
If you prep your strands with specific shampoos and styling products, then there’s no reason your locks won't last. From curl-defining cleansers to gels, salt sprays and mousses, it’s what you coat your tresses in that really plays the biggest role in how long the curls keep. You want to be using products with formulas that allow your lengths to have enough grip to maintain the twists, like a mousse, texturising sprays and gels. Plus, if you’re doing the overnight method then wrapping the hair in a bonnet also keeps your curls intact.
