Get Natural Looking Curls Without Heat/Great Summer Hair Style

Have you ever seen people with the prettiest natural curls and wondered how you could have the same beautiful ringlets without using any heat? You would not believe how simple it is.

I'm currently 10 weeks into my relaxer and still going (although I'm so tempted to run out to get a perm), nevertheless, it's still better for my hair and scalp. As you could imagine, I have to be very creative with my hair at the moment. So, I decided to give my hair some soft natural looking curls/ringlets. Here's how you could get the same look (you could do this with wet or dry hair)...

If your hair is wet-
  1. Use your favorite leave in conditioner, setting lotion or a small amount of styling mouse.
  2. Part your hair from the front to the back, allowing for about 5-7 braids going to the back of your neck. Braid your hair from the front using only two-strand twists & secure the ends with barrettes.
  3. Let it air dry, preferable overnight.
  4. In the morning, release the braids one by one & moisturize the hair & scalp.
  5. Separate to add more body.
  6. Style as desired.
If your hair is dry-
  1. Dampen with a mist of purified water or your favorite leave in conditioner or setting lotion.
  2. Part your hair from the front to the back, allowing for about 5-7 braids going to the back of your neck.
  3. Let it air dry for at least 4-5 hours.
  4. Once dry, release the braids one by one & moisturize the hair & scalp if necessary.
  5. Separate to add more body.
  6. Style as desired.
