Read on for bouncy hair by morning!
It begins with freshly washed and conditioned hair.
Once completely dry, scrunch a nourishing serum in from mid-lengths to ends to further hydrate and define curls.
To apply, start with damp (not wet!)
hair and split hair into two sections.
Starting with the front sections, wrap hair around the rod away from the face.
Add more hair as you move down the rod until all hair is wrapped.
Secure with a scrunchie and keep in overnight (or until your hair is dry).
Once removed, you should be left with effortless waves.
Secure with a scrunchie and leave overnight.
Still, if youre looking for an easy, cheap way to get at-home curls, its worth trying.
And, as it’s possible for you to see, it definitely works.
Braid
The braid is the easiest, most accessible method of the bunch.
All you need is a ponytail (though we prefer a silk scrunchie).
Once you land on your number, simply braid your hair and remove when hair is dry.
Twist and Clip Method
Our personal favorite method is the twist and clip.
Part damp hair in two before twisting each side back and connecting the two with a clip.
And keep in mind: The tighter the twist, the tighter the waves.
For this method, we swear by the Crown Affair Clips.
We love the results of this method; think perfect beachy waves without any of the hassle.
Bendy Rods
If youre looking for ultra-tight curls, bendy rods are the way to go.
If uncomfortable, you could wrap with a scarf or bonnet overnight.
Once dry, remove rods and add some curl cream for best results.
Split damp hair into top and bottom portions, tying the top section up with a scrunchie.
Grab a clean sock and clip it in the center of your bottom section toe-side up.
Wrap hair around the sock before wrapping the sock around itself to create a bun-like shape.
Flip initiate the remaining open part of the sock and cover the bun to secure it overnight.
Repeat with the top portion.

Robe Curls
Robe curls follow the same general method as the curling headband and leggings curls.
Secure with a silk scrunchie and repeat on the other side.
Princess Leia Buns
For long, straight-to-wavy hair, this heatless method reigns supreme.
It takes a page from a Star Wars' character’s signature hairstyle.
The Princess Leia technique requires three curling rods.
Sleep in your Princess Leia-inspired ‘do (trust the process!
It’s also customizable, depending on how loose or tight you want your curls to be.
Section damp or dry hair into a few (2!)
or a bunch (10!)
The more sections you create and scrunchies you use, the tighter your curls will be.
Gently undo the ties in the morning and as Taylor says, shake it out.
Sleepy Tie
The methods above will help you achieve heat-free waves and curls.
But this cool tool was designed to help prolong your look.
Good news: It’s super simple and effective.
Bring your ponytail forward and loop it around the tie.
Hit the sheets (or a flight!)
and wake up to even better hair.
