This is why many look for heatless ways to style their hair. So for those looking for heatless curls (no matter your hair type), here’s the best way to style your hair to amp up some texture: And as hairstylist Miko Branch, co-founder of hair care brand Miss Jessie’s reminds us: “Say it with us, air dry is always the best dry,” she says. “Style your hair using nourishing, hydrating products that were made exclusively for your textured curls—whether wavy, coily, or kinky. Make sure to seal your hair, from root to tip, and lock in moisture. Patience is key, so don’t fuss over your hair or run your fingers in it while it is drying.” Rollers, of course, come in many shapes and sizes. Reach for Velcro options to fake a blowout, sponges for bouncy spirals, or flexirods for tighter ringlets. As Branch notes, “Start with clean, damp hair and apply a setting lotion or a leave-in conditioner. Use spiral hair curlers, dry sponges, or rod rollers, but just make sure they don’t tug or damage your hair. Be gentle to your hair when placing pins/clips/clamps, and never pull your hair too tightly. Once your hair is dry, finger brush your hair and finish it off with a texturizing spray.”
