Daily heat styling with 400°F curling irons strips hair of essential moisture, resulting in split ends, dullness, and breakage. The silk heatless curling technique allows your hair to set into soft, glossy, bouncy salon waves overnight while you sleep.

1. The 90% Dryness Rule

Never wrap soaking wet hair—it will not dry overnight. Wait until your hair is 90% air-dried or lightly blow-dried on a cool setting. Lightly mist a leave-in conditioner spray for hydration.

"If your hair is bone dry, lightly mist with water from a fine aerosol spray bottle."

2. The French Braid Wrapping Technique

Place the silk ribbon across the crown of your head and secure with a claw clip. Take a 1-inch section from the front, wrap away from your face over the ribbon, grab another section of hair from behind, and repeat down to the ends. Secure with silk scrunchies.

"Wrap tightly for defined spiral curls or loosely for effortless beach waves."
