Like so many straight-haired ladies before me—I love curling my hair. I know my curling iron is *so bad* for my hair, but I can’t resist using it. Thankfully, in addition to curling irons, there are a number of wet-set or no-heat methods that help you achieve full, luscious curls without damaging your hair.
My favorite is a twist on a vintage rolled up do that dries overnight and gives me great, natural looking curls in the morning.

Step One: Start with damp (not soaking wet!) hair. Gently brush it free of tangles and place a headband on top of your hair. You can pin the headband in place with a few bobby pins towards the front to keep it from moving.
Step Two: Take a small section of hair and pull it up then down the inside of the headband; basically wrapping it around the headband.
Step Three: Continue wrapping this section of hair around the headband to the ends.
Step Four: Repeat this step with the rest of your hair. Use a few bobby pins to hold things in place if any of your hair feels loose.
Step Five: Go to sleep!
Step Six: Wake up! Your hair should look something like the bottom left picture above (a little disheveled but dry). Pull out the pins and start unwrapping your new curls.
So easy, right? I love this no-heat curl method because it doesn’t damage your hair, the curls are pretty natural, and it looks cute while it’s drying! You could even wear the wet style out during the day if your hair takes a long time to dry—although wait until it’s warm where you live! Wet hair outside in the winter sounds like a pretty terrible idea…
I hope you like trying out this curling style; you can also mix it up with thicker or thinner headbands for different curl widths. Cheers, Rebecca.
Great!

Great tutorial. I am going to try this over the weekend and see if I can get it to work with my super fine hair.
Brilliant idea! I love the way it looks all rolled up too! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I’ve never seen or heard of this process before but it looks great! I’ll definitely be trying it myself.

I so want to do this, but my acupuncturist forbid me to go to bed with wet hair!
So I guess I could just do the same but finish by using a blow dryer rather than letting my hair dry during the night.
Did you try it?
Oh my are these some of the prettiest curls ever!

Ooh, yes, I am so doing this. I have dyed bright orange and some pink hair that I only wash once a week and never blow dry to help maintain the color, so this would really help in making sure it looks good in the morning vs my usual lions mane mess that I wake up too.
You have the most amazing hair
I always LOVE the hair tutorials on this site. Unfortunately, this gal has short hair problems that won’t grow out. Could you maybe post something to help me out with my boring do?? 🙂
Ah I wish this would work for my crazy hair! Mine is thick and naturally wavy and a little frizzy. I’ve tried this once before but it was such a fail, I might try and give it another go as the look is stunning on you. Wish me luck!
