Love that this product provides great curls without the use of heat! Researched various heatless curlers before choosing this Kitsch Heatless Curler. One of the main selling points was the sustainability feature of being made with chemicals safer for human health and is certified by OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100. I wanted to make sure I started out with a clean product as I would be wrapping my damp hair around this device. I placed the heatless curler and two scrunchies in a mesh garment laundry bag and washed these items using a bit of mild shampoo and cold water on the handwashing cycle of my washing machine. I hung the mesh bag containing the items on a hanger to dry overnight before using. The heatless curler contains a flexible coated wire surrounded by soft material and coated with a satin type fabric. I started the curling process by brushing my hair and spritzing it with water to dampen hair. I utilized a velcro roller on my bangs and ran the heatless curler through the velcro roller - see photo. I found wrapping my hair around the roller to be very easy and took about 5 minutes total. I parted my hair in the back. Then started wrapping the hair near my temple and grabbing a section of hair each time I wrapped. I also lightly spritzed some hair sections with additional water as I went along. The wrapping and grabbing additional sections of hair was similar to the French hair braiding process. I found that wrapping the hair sections close to each other and with a moderate tension worked well. At the end of each side I utilized a scrunchie to secure the end of the hair to the curler. When finished, I found that I could wrap the two ends of the heartless curler around each other at the lower back of my head, but wasn't certain if this would be comfortable to sleep on; I used a hair tie to secure the two ends of the heatless curler together at the back of my head instead. I have the Kitsch satin scarf, but didn't think to wrap my hair with it. Squeezing the heatless curler, I thought it felt very soft. I wore the curler to bed and laying on the curler took me about 20 mins to get use to. I was able to move the curler off my ear when sleeping on my side and found this was a comfortable position. I was also able to comfortably sleep on my back. Again, it was just a matter of taking about 20 minutes to get use to. I kept the curler in for approximately 8 hours. Removing the curler was very easy, the hair slipped away easily and didn't tangle at all. I like a bit tighter curl, so I used my fingers to separate the curls just a bit. If I would have ran my fingers through the curls, I think I could have created a looser curl or wave. I did not use a styling product in my hair and the curl has lasted throughout the day - I have fine hair that takes to curling easily. When I was finished utilizing the heatless curler, I placed the curler and scrunchies in the mesh laundry bag I had washed it in (not included) and put it on a hanger to completely dry; I wanted to make sure it was completely dry before storing it away. I feel this is a great product, that is reasonably priced, made of quality materials, well constructed, and was fun and easy to use!
