Get Curly with Non-Heat Waves

I absolutely love curly hair; it's full, bouncy and just so pretty. However, I hate the effects that a curling iron has on my hair. Long-term use of styling tools can damage your hair, making it dry and brittle. Even if we're proactive about conditioning and other hair treatments, heat can still do a real number on our hair. Plus it eats up a lot of time in an everyday beauty routine. If you're like me and wash your hair in the mornings, you first have to either air-dry (which takes forever) or blow-dry your hair before your can attack it with a curling iron, otherwise your run the risk of frying your hair. It doesn't exactly make for an easy, no nonsense morning routine.

So instead, try getting curls using this wonderful non-heat method!

After showering, and letting your hair air-dry for a while, french braid your hair and give it a ten second blast with the blowdryer. Keep the braid in while your commuting to school, work, wherever, and when you arrive, take out the braid, fluff our your hair, maybe apply a little curl cream and your good to go. This works even better if you put the braid in the night before and take it out in the morning, so if your wash your hair at night anyways, definitely give it a try. The curl ends up looking much more natural and super beachy.

Something like this:

Super pretty, right?

So give this method a try and let me know how it goes! Good luck!
