Starting with damp hair is a great way to lock in your curly style. Continous mist spray bottles filled with water give you an even spray without over doing it.

When I'm not using water I like to apply a small amount of this mousse into my hair. It will help your hair to hold the curl. This is also a great one to pair with water to do scrunch curls!

This is my favorite wave spray! It doesn't make your hair dry, hard, or sticky. I like to generously mist my hair with water, then with this spray, and one more time with water. Finally, scrunch.

When I'm curling overnight I always wear a silk hair bonnet. This will protect the curlers from falling out and even preserve your style. All without frizz.

To help lock that style in we need a hairspray. I love a flexible hold that doesn't make your hair sticky, tangly, or crusty. This will keep your style and also combat frizz.

Hands down my favorite hair brush is the Wet Brush. You can't feel it gliding through your hair! A brush is a must pre-styling to get out all of the tangles.

I always have a rat tail comb on hand. It's great for parting your hair, and detangling precise sections.

Curlers

These are all of my favorite heatless curling sets and options. They range from loose, voluminous waves, to tight curls. It's all about your application technique and customizing for the look that you want.

These curlers are applied on the top of your head to make two space buns. You then apply the silk caps over top to protect the style and keep the curlers from falling out. These are excellet for sleeping in, as well as to get root volume.

This is my all-time-favorite type of hair roller. Use the whole pack for tight ringlets, or less for looser curls. They are great to sleep in, or, put your hair on top of your head. The fact that the ends snap together is the real key - link them tog...

My latest obsession is the overnight blowout. For my fine, shorter hair I prefer to use only 2 out of the three rods. I use my silk bonnet instead of the included silk scarf. Definitely attach the curlers together to make a chain to prevent them from...
