Click to watch Sam demonstrate an easy technique for creating chic, no heat curls!

  •  Take a random section and spray through with Redken’s fashion work 12 hairspray. Be sure to spray the product from a distance to ensure that the section of hair doesn’t get overly saturated
  • Take a straw and wrap the section spirally around the straw, pushing the twisted section towards the bottom of the straw
  • Take the two lose ends of the straw and tie them together tightly
  • Continue this technique throughout, taking more random sections
  • Once you have completed your straw set, untie your straws and remove them. Remember the smaller the section, the tighter your curls will be!
  • Once the sections are released, work through each section with your hands, separating the curls for a full, beautiful no-heat style!
