Whether big waves, glamorous curls, beach waves or small curls to conjure up curls without heat, you do not need a lot of time and hardly any accessories.

We love them: curls. But who can not like them anyway ?! After all, they give our hair volume, always conjure up a stunning look and flatter our face – and we really all like that. But does the dream of curls only ever come true with straightening irons, curling irons, curlers and the like? Does our hair always have to be exposed to the heat and thereby unnecessarily stressed? Definitely no, because curls without heat go at least as quickly, damage our hair less and are super easy to do.

Curls without heat that last a long time

Beach waves

Probably the simplest curls without heat are by far beach waves. The casual hairstyle is especially easy on the beach, when your hair is still a little wet from bathing, the sun is shining on it and the sand is blowing through your hair. But what would the curls be if they were just created on the beach ?! It’s already the perfect hairstyle for summer, but you don’t always need a beach for it, because you can of course conjure up the beach waves overnight.

What you need for the curls:

That’s how it’s done:

Put some salt spray or mousse into your damp hair and then braid two braids. Then leave them in overnight, open your braids the next day and they are there, your casual curls without heat.

Corkscrew curls

Corkscrew curls are particularly popular and can be made quickly even without heat. How do you best do the curls? With small hair ties. For large curls and when you want it to be quick, you should opt for a bun.

What you need for the curls:

That’s how it’s done:

Use a comb to divide your damp hair into approximately two centimeters wide strands, twist them into small “snails” and fix your hair with a thin elastic band. Repeat this until all of your hair has been styled. Then fix it with hairspray – done!

Leave the strands in the hair overnight or for at least five hours, then remove the hair ties and use a bit of hairspray to hold the curls without heat. And your hairstyle is ready!

Big curls

We always stood in front of the mirror for ages with our straightening iron or curling iron to turn all hair into curls. Back then we often thought that the hairstyle was created faster with the help of heat, and curls are made easy even without heat.

What you need for the curls:

That’s how it’s done:

Divide your towel-dried hair into sections, depending on the size of the curls into larger or smaller sections. Then wrap the respective strand on a sock and loosely knot the ends of the sock together. Repeat this with all strands and let your hair dry preferably overnight. When your hair is completely dry, your hairstyle is also finished.

Soft waves

Defined curls are probably not your thing, you prefer curls when they look playful? Then these curls without heat are just right for you – and they can be done quickly.

What you need for the curls:

That’s how it’s done:

Spray some texture spray on your hair, put a hair band with elastic on the hair, then twirl strand by strand in one direction and stick the hair from above into the hair band so that you can then pull it out again at the bottom.

Repeat the process until all of your hair is completely wrapped around the headband. The tighter you twist your hair, the more intense the curls will be. Keep the hair like this for a few hours or wear it overnight. Comb the hair with your fingers, spray with hairspray – and your curls are ready without heat.

Curl with hair curlers

Are curlers only for our grandparents? Nothing! Curlers are more popular than ever for styling hair, because they are super easy to use and you always have the guarantee that you will get the curls.

What you need for the curls:

That’s how it’s done:

The diameter of your curlers and the thickness of your hair will determine the size of your curls without heat. For medium-sized curls, for example, curlers with a diameter of three to four centimeters are ideal.

Divide your damp hair into individual sections and then wrap strand by strand around the curlers. Make sure that you start at the ends of your hair and then work your way up to the roots. If the curlers do not hold, fix them with a hair clip without disturbing you when you sleep at night.

Loosen them the next morning and then fix the curls with hairspray without heat. Your stylish hairstyle is ready!
