Braiding
Braiding is a simple and effective way to create natural curls. This method works best on damp hair.
Divide and Braid:
Divide your damp hair into sections. The number of sections depends on how tight you want the curls to be. Braid each section tightly.
Secure the Ends:
Use small elastic bands to secure the ends of each braid.
Leave Overnight:
Leave the braids in overnight or until your hair is completely dry.
Unbraid and Style:
Carefully unbraid your hair and use your fingers to separate the curls. Apply a light hairspray or curl-enhancing product to set the curls.
Twisting
Twisting your hair can create loose, natural curls.
Section and Twist:
Divide your damp hair into sections. Twist each section tightly and then twist the twisted section into a bun.
Secure with Pins:
Secure the twisted buns with bobby pins.
Leave Overnight:
Leave the twists in overnight or until your hair is dry.
Release and Style:
Gently release the twists and use your fingers to separate the curls. Finish with a light-hold hairspray.
Using Hair Rollers
Hair rollers are a classic method for achieving curls without heat.
Choose the Right Rollers:
Select rollers based on the size of curls you want. Smaller rollers create tighter curls, while larger rollers create looser waves.
Roll Damp Hair:
Roll small sections of damp hair around the rollers, starting from the ends and rolling up towards the scalp.
Secure the Rollers:
Use clips or pins to secure the rollers in place.
Allow to Dry:
Let your hair dry completely, either air-drying or using a cool setting on a hair dryer.
Remove and Style:
Carefully remove the rollers and use your fingers to style the curls. Apply a light hairspray to set the curls.
Using a Headband
A headband can create beautiful, natural curls without any heat.
Wear a Headband:
Place a stretchy headband over your head, resting on your forehead and around the back of your head.
Tuck Hair Around Headband:
Starting with a small section near your face, tuck and wrap your hair around the headband. Continue this process, adding more hair to the section as you go.
Leave Overnight:
Leave the headband in overnight or until your hair is completely dry.
Release and Style:
Carefully release your hair from the headband and use your fingers to separate the curls. Apply a light-hold hairspray to set the style.
Pin Curls
Pin curls are a classic method for creating curls without heat.
Section and Roll:
Take small sections of damp hair and roll them into spirals, starting from the ends and rolling towards the scalp.

Secure each rolled section with bobby pins or hair clips.
Leave Overnight:
Leave the pin curls in overnight or until your hair is dry.

Remove the pins and gently separate the curls with your fingers. Use a light hairspray to set the curls.
Using Socks or Fabric Strips
Socks or fabric strips can be used to create soft, natural curls.
Prepare the Strips:
Cut long strips of fabric or use clean socks.
Wrap Hair Around Strips:
Take small sections of damp hair and wrap them around the fabric strips or socks, tying the ends to secure.
