Viral TikTok videos probably convinced you to try curling your hair using socks, but this isn’t the only way to get amazing heatless curls. You can also do this using another common item everyone has in their household—plastic straws.
YouTube is overflowing with detailed tutorials for straw curls, and Brittany Lien’s video is one of the very best. Almost nine million people tuned in to watch her make this hairstyle and tried following her instructions in the comfort of their home.
If you want to get really tiny curls, just like Lien, be ready to spend some extra time wrapping your hair around each straw. Once you’re done wrapping, you’ll have to bend the straw and use a tiny elastic hair tie to pinch it before moving to the next straw.
This process can be time-consuming, especially if you have long hair, but it’s definitely worth it. This is the best method you can possibly use to get tight and tiny curls, and the damage will be minimal since you won’t be using any heat along the way.
