How to Do Heatless Curls with a Rod: the Ultimate Step-by-Step Guide
By Marcus Vance
Tossing and turning can unravel your wrap overnight or cause tension headaches along the hairline. Achieving comfortable sleep with curlers comes down to positioning the loose ends so they do not press against your temples.
Instead of letting the tails hang loose beside your jaw, pull both ends toward the back of your head and cross them over at the nape of your neck. Bring the tails forward around your crown and secure them together with a soft claw clip or an additional scrunchie, creating a halo shape. This configuration keeps the sides of your face completely clear, allowing side sleepers to rest without feeling the rod press into their ears or cheekbones. Pairing this setup with a silk pillowcase prevents overnight friction from loosening the front pieces.
