Gentle Styling – The Art of Shaping Perfect Heatless Curls
Creating beautiful, wavy hair or gorgeous Hollywood-style curls doesn't always mean you have to apply heat to your hair. The biggest and most talked-about hair trend right now is heatless curls—a styling method that shapes hair entirely without heat. It’s the ultimate hack for anyone looking to save time in the morning and wake up with beautiful curls. You simply style your hair, sleep with the products in, and wake up to a finished, effortless look.
Is it better to do heatless curls on damp or dry hair?
For curls that last and have great bounce, you should style on slightly damp hair. If the hair is too wet, it won't dry overnight; if it's completely dry, the curls will lose their shape as soon as you brush them out in the morning.
What hacks are there for heatless curls?
The secret to a result that actually lasts all day lies in the preparation and the products you choose. Before wrapping your hair around your heatless curling rod, distribute Björn Axén Volume Mousse through the lengths to build up hold. If you have very fine or slippery hair, a clever tip is to also apply Björn Axén Salt Water Spray. This gives the hair strands the extra texture needed for the curls to grip properly and hold their shape.
When you wake up in the morning, carefully remove the rod and let the curls fall into place. Instead of brushing your hair immediately, apply a few drops of nourishing Björn Axén Miracle Hair Oil to your hands and gently scrunch it through the lengths. This reduces frizz and adds a lovely, natural shine. Finish by setting the hairstyle with a product of your choice from our range of hairsprays for flexible hold. Choose between sprays like Björn Axén Just Right Hairspray or Björn Axén Fixing Hairspray.
