1. You take a section of hair and take the ends of the hair roll it back to create an 'o' shape. Using this 'o' shape, roll hair up to the root and pin with a bobby clip.The 'o' should sit on the top of your head or if you prefer you can lie it flat and clip it with 2 to 3 bobby pins Then sleep and unclip in the morning.
2.This second method creates sprial curls. Begin with hair that is almost dry, roughly 90% dry and begin by twisting the hair around so it forms a 'tube' shape. Don't allow the hair to buckle (the 'tube' needs to lie straight) then clip with a bobby pins, I'd recommend 4-8, to the top of your head. I do is that I only do the twisting action that begins at 2.10. I then clip it in onto the top of my head, I don't make it into a bun. My hair didn't suit the bun technique.
3.Most people know this third technique and it will create loose waves rather than curls but I felt I had to include it because if it's done well, it can look great.Begin with almost dry hair like technique 2 and plait the hair. Using mousse at the roots works well because it will counteract any flatness at the crown. Do only plait two sections, the key to this looking nice is to do loose plaits rather than tight plaits and to only do 2-3 plaits. A tight plait with make hair form an unflattering triangle shape. So after making the plaits tie them with a hair tye and go sleep! When you wake up and undo the plaits, use some serum if you find your hair looks a bit frizzy. I like hair that looks big and a little bedhead so to finish I use some 'surf' spray or salt spray. Hairspray also works well.

These can be fun to try and with practice, you can look just as good as curls achieved with heat.
