Best Heatless Curling Tips for Long-Lasting Curls: A Guide by RobeCurls

Are you tired of using heat tools that damage your hair but still want those beautiful, long-lasting curls? At RobeCurls®, we’ve got the perfect solution for achieving flawless curls without the damage—our heatless curling technique! Whether you’re new to heatless curling or looking for ways to make your curls last longer, these tips will help you rock gorgeous curls all day (and night) long.

1. Prep Your Hair the Right Way

The foundation of long-lasting curls is in how you prep your hair. Make sure your hair is about 98% dry before wrapping it in your RobeCurls® Curling Headband. Wrapping hair that’s too wet can lead to curls falling flat, so for optimal results, lightly mist your hair with your Mr. Spritzer before wrapping. Not sure what misting is all about? Check out our step-by-step video tutorial here for the best method to get heatless curls.

For extra hold, consider using a curl-holding product, such as a light mousse or curl-defining cream, before wrapping. 

2. Choose the Best Tool for the Job

When it comes to getting the perfect heatless curls, your choice of curling tool matters. The RobeCurls® Curling Headband is a gentle, satin heatless curling tool designed to help reduce frizz while locking in defined, voluminous curls. It’s not only effective but also comfortable enough to wear while you sleep—so you can wake up to curls without any heat damage!

3. Wrap Your Hair Tightly for Long-Lasting Results

To make your curls last longer, tightly wrap small sections of hair around the headband. This will create defined curls that hold their shape throughout the day. If you prefer looser waves, wrap larger sections of hair for a softer look. Remember, the longer your hair stays wrapped, the longer your curls will last—so wearing the headband overnight is ideal. If you don’t have time, one hour can be enough for some hair types, and you can even wear the headband out during the day.

4. Ensure the Right Hair Moisture Level

One of the most common mistakes is starting with hair that’s too wet, which can cause your curls to fall out. For the best results, start with dry hair, mist it lightly, and add in your favorite curl-holding products. Our Mr. Spritzer mist is designed specifically to prep dry hair for heatless curling. This combination of light moisture and product will ensure your curls stay bouncy and intact all day.

5. Let Your Curls Fully Dry Before Unwrapping

If you want long-lasting curls, patience is key. Make sure your hair is completely dry before unwrapping the headband. If you unravel too soon, the curls won’t have set properly, which can result in limp waves instead of voluminous curls. For an extra boost, you can use a cool blow-dryer to speed up the drying process.

6. Seal the Deal with Product

After unraveling your curls, shake them loose with your fingers for a more natural look. To make your curls last even longer, use a light-hold hairspray or curl-enhancing serum to lock in the style and tame any frizz. Products like these are essential for keeping your curls looking fresh all day, especially if you live in a humid climate.

 7. Revive Curls with a Quick Mist

If your curls start to fall flat throughout the day, you can easily revive them with a quick spritz of water or curl-refreshing spray. Gently scrunch your hair after misting to bring back the volume and definition. This trick also works great if you want to refresh your curls the next morning.

8. Tame Frizz and Protect Against Humidity

 Humidity is often a curl’s worst enemy, but you can protect your style by using an anti-frizz serum or a humidity-resistant spray. This creates a barrier that locks out moisture and keeps your curls smooth and defined even in challenging weather.

9. Customize for Your Hair Type

 Finally, everyone’s hair is different, so feel free to experiment with different products until you find the perfect match for your hair type. Generally, a light curl-holding product is recommended for all hair types before using the RobeCurls® Curling Headband. If you have dry hair, be sure to lightly mist it first with Mr. Spritzer before wrapping for optimal curl formation.
