Love #42 - Heatless Curls

So I love my hair curled or in waves, but I hate spending all that time attached to my curling iron.  Plus, my hair is kind of long, but not very thick, so I'm always worried about damaging my hair by using too much heat on it.  So to give my hair some pretty waves, without the time and heat I went in search for some solutions.

Here's a few of what I found.  With all of these methods you spend about 5-10 minutes in prep time, and then you go to bed and wake up with curls!  It feels so vintage.

If you have thicker, coarse hair, this tutorial is good for you:


If you have layers, or hair that isn't as long, this one is good for you (but it also works great for long thick hair too!):


If your hair is a little longer, you can get amazing curls using nothing but a sock! (or socks!) Check 'em out!



There are lots of other ways you can curl your hair without heat. Explore youtube some more, or go make up your own way! I used to get great waves by putting my hair into 4 french braids. Two on the sides, on on the top, and one in the middle on the bottom. Do it with slightly damp hair and put a head scarf on while you sleep so it doesn't get too frizzy, and you'll get fabulous waves the next day. I had so many people asking me if I had naturally curly hair, and it was just braids! So go experiment, and if any of you try it, we'd love to see photos!

Our last love #42 was this fabulous bag from Aldo.  It's not available anymore, but they still have tons of great bags!
