3 Ways to Wave Up Your Hair Without Heat

I try to stay away from heat as much as possible, but my hair with no intervention at all is something no one should have to deal with. Here are 3 overnight ways to give your hair some curl and body without heat; all effective and all super easy.

This works best if your hair is slightly damp when you do it. You're supposed to sleep on these for best results, but I did mine in the morning after my hair had mostly dried from showering and left them in for about 3 hours.
All you do is divide up your hair (I did 4 sections, the more sections you do the curlier it will be), twist them tight and wrap in a bun, then pin them in place and wait. I can imagine these are hard to sleep on, so I would try to put them as close to the sides of your head as you can so you aren't laying right back on them :)

Here's the results I got:

Like I said, if you do these at night and sleep on them, your hair will be way curlier.

This one is much more comfortable to sleep in, but the curls have a tendency to get out of control. This is good for giving your hair body for a messy bun or an updo in the morning, but if you're planning on wearing your hair down and wavy you'll probably have to do a little more styling than this.

It's pretty simple: put an elastic band around your head, twist pieces of your hair and wrap them up and around your head into the headband. This one is a little tricky to get out in the morning because your hair can get tangled.

The curls you get afterward do look great in a messy ponytail.

This one is the simplest, and the one that I like the results of the most. Super simple: just french braid your hair and sleep on it. I usually only do one braid for more subtle results, but depending on how wavy you want it you could do two or even three.
