The 5 Best Ways to Curl Your Hair Without a Curling Iron

                 I know I go on and on about putting down the hot tools, going heat-free and generally giving your fried strands a break. I won't apologize — avoiding hair damage before it happens is one key to great hair.But I know that another key to great hair is learning how to style it so it looks amazing. When you are on a heat-tox, especially, you need to have a few tricks in your arsenal to get the results you're looking for. Look no further. Presenting our picks of easy, quick ways to get gorgeous waves with minimal heat:

Wash your hair in the evening and while still damp, apply a mousse (I likeBumble & Bumble's Curl Conscious Holding Foam) that will hold your style. Divide hair into sections. The size of your sections will depend on what style curl you are aiming for — loose waves need larger sections of hair, while tighter curls demand smaller, 1-2 inch sections. Make a tight plait on each section of hair and finish with an elastic. Upon waking, remove each plait and break the sections up with our fingers for a natural finish.

This method is a little retro, but still really effective. Again, the size of your curl will depend on which size roller you use — the larger the roller, the looser the curl. Choose a roller that’s foam- and velcro-based for comfort while sleeping, and apply to damp hair (after applying mousse again) before bed. Thicker hair types may find that hair is still damp after waking, so it may be necessary to dry your hair gently with your hairdryer on a low setting in the morning before removing the rollers.
