It's common knowledge that while using heat to style your hair, it can cause breakage which is enjoyable for no one. That's why when TikTok creators started trying out the now-trendy heatless curling headband, it caught on like wildfire amongst users. In theory, wouldn't we just love to throw away our curling irons and flat irons for a more hair-healthy option that we can sleep in and still have that bouncy texture? Compared to other heatless curling methods like Velcro rollers or sleeping in braids for a more natural crimp, it seems that the heatless curling headband takes the cake.
In 2020, Glamour staff members with different hair styles and textures reviewed the trend, and the majority of the results were positive. "I kept it in overnight; in the morning, I woke up to the bounciest curls of my life," Glamour's Deputy Editor Anna Moesleine wrote.
It's important to note, though, that this curling method should be used in tandem with a texturizing spray or hairspray to make the curls stay past the morning after taking the headband out.
Once you've secured your headband, here's how to maximize the effects of this viral trend.
