Use Tights to Get Perfect Heatless Curls Overnight?!
Heatless curls overnight are easy with the wrap method using a pair of tights!
There’s absolutely no heat and no fancy products, just dry hair and a little patience.
Follow these steps exactly as shown in the transcript to get loose, long-lasting curls by morning.
Tools and materials:
- Tights
- 2 hair ties
- Hair brush
1. Prep and start sections
Split your hair into 2 equal parts, down your neck. Lay the tights on top of your head with the legs trailing parallel to each half section of hair. Use a hair tie to temporarily hold the hair on 1 side to the tights to anchor them.
2. Begin wrapping the front section
Grab 2 chunks of hair on either side of the tights leg.
Wrap the front section, lay it over the tights, then wrap it under the tights (over and under). Keep hold of that same front section in the same hand.
3. Wrap the back section
Do the same with the back section: grab the back section, wrap it over and under the tights, and hold it in the same hand.
4. Add hair to the front section and continue
Now grab more hair and add it into the front section, then cross that combined front section over and under the tights again. Keep the pieces in the same hand as you work.
5. Add hair to the back section and alternate
Add a section of hair into the back section, cross it over and under the tights, and return it to the same hand. You are wrapping, not French braiding, so keep the motion over and under the tights.
6. Continue until you run out of hair
Repeat: add hair to the front, cross over and under the tights; add hair to the back, cross over and under the tights.
Continue this pattern until there’s no hair left to add. Secure the end with a hair tie.
7. Repeat on the other side and secure for sleeping
Repeat the entire wrapping process on the other side.
Pull both wrapped tails to the front and tie them together for a more comfortable sleep.
Take the opening of the tights and wrap it around your head. Yes, it will look absolutely crazy, but it protects your hair all night.
8. Finishing touches in the morning
In the morning, remove the hair ties and take the tights out.
The curls will be loose. Because the hair was completely dry and product-free, it may be tangly, so brush it and shake it out a little bit to reveal the finished curls.
Here’s the end result of these overnight heatless curls with tights:
This easy wrap method is a foolproof way to create soft, natural-looking heatless curls overnight. I truly love this method as it always yields great results.
