Not quite sure what headband curls are or how the use of a simple headband can help you create stunning curls? Fret not, as we have all the hair inspiration you will need, plus a handful of handy tips and tricks, just below:
Why Headband Curls Need to Be on Your Radar
1. You can create boho waves with little fuss.
If you’re a lover of bohemian waves, but can never quite master that carefree, easy-breezy finish (that we all know actually entails a lot more work than it looks), then headband curls are the easiest way to achieve them.
2. The style emphasizes naturally wavy hair.
If you have naturally wavy hair but want to add more of an emphasis to your curls, headband curls are set to be your new BFF! They’ll help amp up your natural texture and give you that beautiful beachy vibe all year around. Also, if you want to create a defined curl pattern, we suggest creating even smaller sections in your hair and twisting each of the sections before threading through the headband.
3. Headband curls add texture to limp hair.
If your naturally fine hair is looking limp and flat, it’s easy to overload with sea salt spray and a wrap it around a curling wand (don’t worry, we’re guilty of it, too). However, we say ditch those heated styling tools for headband curls and before you know it, you will have flawless-looking waves that will bring a new lease to your tresses. Ed’s Tip: If you want to add soft waves, as opposed to medium to tight curls, you can do this in the morning before you start your makeup and unwrap your hair before leaving the house. Talk about multitasking!
How to Create Headband Curls
This will help lock in the shape of your curls. Comb through the hair if needed to remove any knots.
As the hairband will stay on all night, make sure it’s not too loose. It needs to stay in place in order for the curls to form.
Then, get some beauty sleep and let your curls form overnight.
Use your fingers to comb through the wave, this will give the hair a more relaxed finish.
