Heartless curls….
Honest review:
These were from Target’s dollar section a while ago. So they are bit bent at this point. It’s a hit or miss if the curls all come out or if only a few. For me, I noticed that instead of hairspray if I use a texturing spray it holds my curls better. I also live in Hawai’i, so it is humid most days if not all the time so when I dry my hair I use the. ColorWOW spray to help with frizz. Overall, it beats trying to use a heat tool in the morning before work and the curls somewhat last.
Sleeping with it: I toss and turn during sleep, but it isn’t uncomfortable sometimes I forget it’s in my hair.
⭐️Overall rating: 5/5

The 'heatless curls era' is definitely upon us, and for good reason! Who wants to damage their hair with heat every day, especially when there are so many simple, affordable alternatives? I know I'm always on the lookout for ways to get gorgeous waves without the fuss or the damage. My original review touched on a dollar-store find, but honestly, some of the best heatless curl hacks don't cost a dime – like the famous 'sock curl' method! If you're wondering how to get those beautiful 'boucles sans chaleur' (heatless curls) using just a sock, it’s surprisingly easy and effective. All you really need is a clean, long sock (or even a pair of tights!), some hair ties, and slightly damp hair. You simply part your hair down the middle, place the sock on top of your head like a headband, and then wrap sections of your hair around the sock, away from your face. Secure the ends with hair ties. Sleep on it, and voilà! You wake up to soft, bouncy curls. The beauty of the sock method is how gentle it is and how comfortable it can be to sleep in, much like my experience with the dollar-store tool. It’s perfect for achieving that natural, effortless look. Beyond the sock, there are other fantastic DIY options. Have you ever tried the bathrobe tie method? It's similar to the sock but uses the fabric belt from a bathrobe. Or what about using an old t-shirt? You can twist it into a rope and wrap your hair around it for various curl patterns. These methods are fantastic because they're free, use items you already have, and are super gentle on your locks. For me, living in a super humid place like Hawaii, these no-heat options are a lifesaver for keeping frizz at bay and my hair healthy. To make sure your heatless curls, whether from a dollar-store tool, a sock, or a bathrobe tie, really last, I've picked up a few extra tips. First, starting with slightly damp hair is key – not soaking wet, not completely dry. Second, a good setting spray or texturizing spray (as I mentioned in my main review) makes all the difference. I've found that hairspray can sometimes make my hair stiff, but a lighter texturizing spray gives that hold without the crunch. And don't forget to let your hair cool completely before unraveling your curls. That cooling-off period is crucial for setting the shape. Finally, if you're battling humidity like I am, a little anti-frizz serum or spray applied before styling can work wonders. Embrace the 'heatless curls era' and experiment to find what works best for your hair type!
