Today we will be touching on the subject of how to make straight hair wavy without using curler. Wavy hair tends tends to duck in and out of fashion circles but remains very popular. Presently the style seems quite fashionable considering more and more A-listers are sporting it. So let's take a look at how to make straight hair wavy without using curler - a more natural way to develop the look!
If you try to add up the amount of girls you knew that owned a hair curler you would quickly run out of fingers ( and toes! ). It sort of fits in everywhere really doesn't it? Special occasions, a summers day down the mall, lunch on a Sunday - wavy hair fits all seasons!
But the constant heat involved with shaping your hair is not going to be good for you in the long run. So we decided to do a little research among our contributors and find out about the natural methods they use to make straight hair wavy without using curler...
The first method made me laugh a little because I was unsure whether it was a joke or not. Turns out my friend was being pretty serious so I thought I'd give it a shot before listing it on here - turns out it works like a charm!
The Bun And Mousse Method!
This is a pretty foolproof method and it goes something like this.....
For obvious reasons don't wash the hair the next morning as you'll lose the main body of the wavy style. I know it sounds a little TO simple but it actually does work - give it a try!
The Salt Water Mix
Again this is a reasonably easy method and it is much better for your hair than putting it through a curling heat process. This is how you make straight hair wavy without using curler through salt:

The Salt Water Mix
Again this is a reasonably easy method and it is much better for your hair than putting it through a curling heat process. This is how you make straight hair wavy without using curler through salt:
- First you have to mix up one tablespoon of salt with about 8-10oz of water.
- Get hold of an empty spray bottle and fill with the salt water mixture.
- Spray evenly all over the hair
- Get strands of your hair and gently twist them around your index finger
- Very slowly and from distance dry the hair with a blow dryer ( on very low heat! )
- The more hair you put into the twist the larger the overall wave. Remember - tight little waves will only need a small amount of hair twisted around the finger!
The Rock n Rollers!!
You remember the good old rollers your mum used to use ( come on the 80's!! ), well these are often still used to make straight hair wavy without using curler.
- Wash and conditioner your hair at night before you are due to hit the sack!
- Place rollers within the hair whilst it is still really damp
- Sleep on the rollers throughout the night and remove in the morning
OK I'll be the first to admit that this is not the most comfortable of nights sleep but it really does work and there is no heat involved in the process at any point!
The Loose Braid
This is a method used by women back in the 50's to make straight hair wavy without using curler.
- Wash your hair but do not dry it to vigorously - leave it quite damp overall
- Tie the hair into a large but very loose braid and leave hang
- The tightness of the braid will determine the tightness of the waves
- Untangle the braid after an hour and then spray with a gentle hair spray to try and hold the style for as long as possible.
This method seems to be one of the more popular ways to make straight hair wavy without using curler due to the time factor - it only takes about an hour to get the desired effect!
From Rags to Riches!
Again this is a really old method used to make straight hair wavy without using curler. All you need is an old t-shirt cut up into a few strips......
- Wash your hair and refrain from drying it
- Tie bits of the rags around grouped strands of hair
- Sleep on the hair and untie the bits of rags the following morning
- Your hair will have a beautiful natural wave until you wash it next!
These are the simple methods we recommend to make straight hair wavy without using curler. They are much more natural looking ( and better for your hair! ) than when using a curling iron. If you have any methods we may have missed out please leave them in the comment section below!
