Ready to take your heatless curl game to the next level? Here are 8 top tips recommended by a hair professional to give you long lasting, shiny, damage free curls every day.
Firstly we recommend using a silk curling ribbon, silk helps to reduce frizz by minimising friction on your hair - giving a shinier and smoother result!
TIP 1
Prime your hair. For long lasting results you need to be using a product to help hold the curl BEFORE using your heatless curler. This helps the hair hold the new shape for as long as possible. We recommend using a mousse for a tighter and stronger hold and a curl hold cream or spray for more of a medium hold.
TIP 2
Wrap your hair with the curler when your hair is between 80%-90% dry. If your hair is too wet when you wrap your hair it will not have enough time to dry set causing your curls to drop! On the other hand if your hair is completely dry when using your curler, your hair will not hold the shape of the curls very well as it has already set into your natural style. Everyone's hair is different so you need to trial how damp your hair needs to be to get your best results. Remember your hair needs to be completely dry when your ready to remove your curler so always take into consideration how long it takes for your hair to dry.
TIP 3
Always ensure your hair is tangle free and smooth before using your heatless curler to ensure a smooth result! Before using your curl ribbon always detangle gently combing from ends up towards the roots and make sure each section is smooth whilst you wrap.
TIP 4
Wrap your hair with the curler when your hair is between 80%-90% dry. If your hair is too wet when you wrap your hair it will not have enough time to dry and set and the curls will not hold!

TIP 5
Once your heatless curls have set (we recommend leaving overnight) gently remove the curler and comb through rather than using a brush. A brush can loosen the curls too much (but is great if you are wanting more of a wave.)
TIP 6
Finish the style with a flexible hold hairspray for some extra hold! We love this one:
You could also add some serum to add some shine and gloss to your curls! If your hair is finer or if it doesn't hold a curl too well, opt for a shine spray over a serum.
TIP 7
Ensure your hair is wrapped tightly and securely so it doesn't move about when your sleeping. Check out our Instagram and TikTok @Loxies_hairwear for lots of tutorials on how to do this!
TIP 8
For frizz free curls make sure you to sleep on a silk pillowcase or use a silk bonnet! If you decide to opt for a bonnet make sure that the bonnet is big enough to fit over your curler.
