TikTok Trend: Heatless Curls
Who doesn’t love a good TikTok hair trend? Especially these heatless curl tricks!
For those of you who don’t know what a heatless curl is, it’s a technique to create a curl without the use of any hot tools such as curling irons or straighteners. I will admit I was a bit skeptical at first about some of these hair tricks. But the more I practiced on myself the more I saw the stunning results! Will these curls hold all day? Mostly not. Making this look last using this method mostly depends on your hair texture and thickness of course. They are however, great for a cute early morning day look that you can spruce up throughout your day with the right product.
Here are some of the heatless curl techniques that are currently trending on TikTok that we absolutely loved trying.
Braids
This is an oldie but goodie. Braiding your hair right before bed and leaving it overnight can create natural-looking waves or curls. You can experiment with different types of braids, such as French braids, Dutch braids, or fishtail braids, depending on the type of curls you want to achieve.

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Sock curls
Now hear me out. I know this trend will sound a bit crazy, but don’t mock it till you try it. The Sock curls involve wrapping damp hair around socks and leaving them overnight. (You can also do this with slightly more dried hair depending on your hair thickness.) This technique creates bouncy, defined curls without the use of heat.

Flexi Rods
This technique is definitely more for the slightly more advanced individual who knows how to work with various hair products. This bendable, foam-covered rod can be used to create curls without heat. They come in different sizes, and you can wrap small sections of hair around them before bed and leave them overnight. (Fun tip, you can also use any sort of small foam roller, and this trick will still work.)

Hair Band curls
Also known overnight curls, Hair Band curls are another popular heatless curl trend on TikTok. This technique involves wrapping sections of damp hair around a soft headband or hair tie before bed and leaving them overnight to create loose, beachy waves or curls.
Hair band curls are a quick and easy way to achieve heatless curls without any fuss. They're perfect for people who want a low-maintenance hairstyle that still looks stylish and chic.

While there are several versions on how to do this trend, this is the best step by steps we have found to achieve this stunning look.
Start with clean, damp hair: Wash your hair and towel-dry it until it's slightly damp. You can also mist it with a bit of water if it's dry.
Choose a soft headband: Pick a soft, stretchy headband or hair tie that's comfortable to wear while you sleep. It should be wide enough to hold your hair in place but not too tight that it causes discomfort.
Section your hair: Part your hair down the middle and divide it into two equal sections. You can also create smaller sections for tighter curls.
Wrap the hair: Take a small section of hair and wrap it around the headband, starting at the top of your head and working your way down. Make sure the hair is wrapped tightly around the band to secure it in place. Repeat this step with the rest of your hair, making sure the sections are even.
Sleep on it: Once your hair is wrapped around the headband, leave it on overnight to dry and set. You can also speed up the drying process by using a hair dryer on a low, cool setting.
Unwrap and style: In the morning, gently unwrap your hair from the headband and tousle it with your fingers. You can add some texturizing spray or sea salt spray to enhance the waves or curls.
