5 Homemade Methods To Curl Hair Without Damaging It

In the search to look more attractive and with a different style, some women submit their hair to a wide variety of treatments that allow them to modify their look . That is why stylists have developed interesting techniques and products to color, straighten or curl hair while providing nutrition and strength.

Although straight hair continues to be the favorite, today many are betting on other types of hairstyles that allow wavy, curly or moving highlights. These not only give you a fresh and daring image, but they complement the facial features to look radiant. Also, it is a style that all women can easily replicate.

However, the problem is that some of the methods are quite aggressive and, although it is not noticed at first, with the passage of time they generate irreversible damage. Luckily, there are several alternatives that can be put into practice at home to achieve defined curls without damaging the hair.

In this article we will reveal the 5 best homemade methods to encourage you to curl your hair without fear of damage.

1. Curling treatment with pineapple peels

It is believed that the enzymes contained in pineapple are useful in curling hair, turning it into thick, thick hair without problems such as dryness. However, there is no scientific evidence that this is true. Anyway, you can try the mask that we detail below:

Ingredients

• Pineapple peels.
• 1 liter of water.
• 1 spray bottle.

Preparation

• First, put the pineapple peels in a pot with water and bring it to medium heat until it boils.
• When the water comes to a boil, lower the heat and let it cook for five more minutes.

• Then, allow it to sit until it reaches a bearable temperature, filter it through a strainer, and pack the liquid into a spray bottle.
• Finally, rinse your hair as usual and, while still damp, apply the treatment from the scalp to the ends.
• Repeat its use every day or at least four times a week.

2. Cucumber and egg treatment

This treatment is not used to curl the hair as such, and it is not known if it is a good complement to achieve defined, hydrated and frizz-free curls. However, it is true that both ingredients are very nutritious for the skin and for chronic pain (in the case of vitamin D from eggs). 

For good results, apply it before using the curling iron or any other waving method.

Ingredients

• 1 egg.
• ½ cucumber.
• 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (15 g).

Preparation

• First, beat an egg and mix it in the blender with the pulp of half a cucumber and a tablespoon of coconut oil.
• After obtaining a thick and homogeneous paste, moisten the hair and spread it from the middle towards the ends.
• A good idea is to use a brush so that the product is well distributed over the desired areas.
• Leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes and rinse.

3. Beer treatment

It is believed that beer could work as a hair moisturizer, but there are not enough studies to recommend this practice. Also, its smell can be a bit unpleasant. For that reason it is not a method too to take into account.

If you still want to try it:

Ingredients

• 1 liter of water.
• 1 can of beer.
• 1 bottle with sprayer.

Preparation

• First boil the liter of water and, when it reaches a boil, add the beer
• Then, leave it on a minimum heat for two minutes, remove it and wait until it cools down.
• When the product is ready for use, spray it all over the hair with the help of a spray bottle.
• After applying it, you should not expose yourself directly to the sun.
• Use it two or three times a week.

4. Traditional tubes for curling hair

Similarly, hair tubes remain a natural way to achieve beautiful, defined waves. It is a technique that can be used on dry or wet hair, and you can choose the size of the curls to your liking.

Ingredients

• Hair tubes (as needed)
• Lacquer

Preparation

• First, separate your hair into several strands and roll each one into a tube.
• Next, spray it with a little hairspray and let it work for at least 3 hours.

• If you want longer-lasting curls, leave them on overnight.

5. Wavy highlights with a T-shirt

Likewise, an old shirt can become the best ally to get wavy and voluminous highlights.

You need

• 1 old t-shirt.
• Hair lotion or hairspray.

What should you do?

• Cut the shirt into strips two to three centimeters wide and use them to wrap the strands of hair.
• Spray on some lotion or hairspray, and let them sit for 3 hours.
