Trying Out 5 Heatless Curl Methods!

HyELLLOO. Since I knew we'd be busy with the move, I started filming this video a few weeks ago hehehe. I always love me a good 'let's just play with hair' video, so here ya GOOO.
As my hair is getting longer, I've been getting a little bored with it, so I decided to take a cue from the AMAZING scarlettohair (her info is down below) and try out some heatless curl methods!
ANYWHO I love you all!! Thank you for your patience while I get back to my regularly scheduled programming XD

[@augustburning3045]

To all the people saying "no brushing!": Rachel's usually going for a mid-20th-century inspired look, which does require brushing out the set. What kind of look you end up with just depends on what type of brush, and how you brush it. This was a fun video! I loved seeing all the different results. I think the other person got a different result from the straws because she was twisting her hair and then wrapping it along the length of the straw rather than rolling it straight on, so that would be an interesting trial to see as well. Can't wait to see more of the new place once you're set up!

[@renarde_0173]

I was under the impression that it depends on the size of the curls, too - like, the little straw curls were unforgiving (I really loved them pre-brush, though), but the bigger curls looked neater when brushed out. Also I read somewhere that natural curls shouldn't get brushed out, but "hand-made" should, although I don't know why?

[@Tazzie1312]

[@lynt.8269]

@@renarde_0173 Brushing out naturally curly hair can get frizzy and tangled real quick, especially when they are tight/coiled curls! You can kind of see the result of that when Rachel brushes out the straw curls as compared to the looser ones.

[@renarde_0173]

[@renarde_0173]

@@Tazzie1312 That's a sweet phrase! I often have the problem that some of my medium-sized curls disintegrate quicker than others (curls loosing their friends), so I resort to brushing because it minimizes the difference and the "mad witch" effect - Maybe I haven't figured out the right hair product use yet (gathering a lot of tips in this comment section)

The tighter curls brushed out are perfect for a marida cosplay. The shape, the volume, and energy 😘👌

[@iamwindchakra]

A tip, when you are brushing out curls, use a boar bristle brush and only brush the curls from underneath so they don't frizz. Also, clean your brush free from hair before you brush so those hairs don't snag what's on your head. You should also give the curls a few minutes to set to retain their shapes before you brush them out from underneath. It works wonderfully and I have thin hair. Picking apart the curls with your fingers or a pick comb works well too.

[@punkinwriting]

Came here to say the same thing. A bristle brush is also much more gentle on your hair. Plus a little hair oil or styling product on the ends will help the curls too.

[@Secretsaver]

Yeah I have naturally curly hair and watching her take a brush to the beautiful locks made me want to cry 😭

[@forg8765]

good knowledge, wish i had it before i decided to foam roll my short mullet hair and it came out looking like the paper straws

[@renarde_0173]

[@kjhfghmk]

@@punkinwriting Thanks for the tips! Do you put hair oil on before rolling or after you taker the rollers out?

[@Starlight-gb6ml]

Rachel, you looked so adorable after you brushed out the straw curls - like a little pumpkin spice flavoured candyfloss!

[@gabbyb9418]

Glad there is a top comment mentioning this. Rachel - if you want some more volume and more of a "wave" effect with sleep-in braids, finger comb or use a super wide toothed comb; use just a touch of a reasonably priced detangler, divide your hair into sections, firmly hold a section of your hair near the roots without pulling the hair away from your scalp, then begin combing from the bottom . As another girl with long, unruly hair I can attest that this works well. I don't wash my hair very often so I opt to braid it every night and it never fails to look cute messy in the morning, and after taking the braids out, looks elegant throughout the day. It's my go-to also bc I can't stand sleeping with anything digging into my head. Even a soft robe belt tie thing would keep me up all night!

[@darkblueem]

[@leenatoivanen3787]

That was the tightest brush ever as well 😂 finger combing would help too

[@rokelle_2012]

Yes. I felt like that everytime after she took her hair down. Brushing takes out all of the curl and just frizzes it out. Which Rachel seems to like a little bit of, but it was very obvious the tighter the curling methods got.

[@jazziered142]

Literally every time she picked up the brush. Oh my gosh never put a brush through curls.

As someone with naturally curly hair, I screamed internally every time you brushed out your dry curls. It’s also fascinating seeing someone try so hard to get curls. Seems just as difficult as a task as I have when I try and straighten my hair.

[@Oonagh72]

I have. A tip for your henna process. After rinsing, instead of shampooing to get out the henna, use conditioner. The conditioner makes the hair slick and the henna just glides out. Any conditioner will do.

[@Knight-of-Sarcasm]

When I would dye my hair, I'd the same with my traditional 2x weekly conditioner. I'd have to use a higher end one so it was typically better than any that came in the box. Even when I used the purple a few months ago, I used the conditioner to help be gentle on my hair. I also have gone natural in the last 6 or so years and let the grey shine through. Added benefit was the tub didn't seem as stained as it did when it was just dye and shampoo.

[@maggierobertson2962]

Oooh. Cool. I would love to try henna but my hair is pretty dark, and I'm not willing to use bleach. Oh well.

(I want my hair to hold secrets too!). I hope that everything is going well with the unpacking Rachel! P.S another fun curling technique is using little strips of cloth. I used to do this a lot, but don't tie the knots to tight or you end up having to cut them out!

[@Ater_Draco]

As a curly girl, my tip would be step away from the brush once you've achieved a curl in your hair. We use our fingers or a very wide tooth pick to separate curls. Hope your move went well 💖

[@frannygrace2191]

When I watched the video a while back on how you do your hair, I decided to try to use sponge rollers on mine. For many years I've worn my wavy hair short and blew dry and scrunched it. Then I went on blood thinner and lost about half my hair so that didn't work anymore--neither did a curling iron. I kept the top short and grew the back long and just put the top up in foam rollers. It would look weird for a day or two but I learned to take the rollers out before my hair was completely dry and it works much better! I love it! Yes, it's a mullet, but I twist the back up and secure it with a barrette (now I'm making lots of them) and I love it! Thank you, Rachel, you have really changed my life and for the better. Now I love playing with my hair!

Watching this as someone with naturally wavy/curly hair, this was stressful. Watching this as someone who basically grew up in a hair salon because my mom did hair for a living for a long time... slightly less stressful? Like, brushing out curls is legit. I saw it done hundreds of times. Rachel mostly needed better technique and maybe a different type of brush. Just yanking a plain cushion brush through curls is going to create that major Hermione frizz. You have to be gentle with curls to achieve beautiful vintage waves!

[@bowenarrows7819]

What type of brush would you recommend?

[@tstymctst]

@@bowenarrows7819 Keeping in mind that I am working from past observation (my mother stopped doing hair around 20 years ago), what I most remember being used for brushing out curl sets was boar bristle brushes. You can probably use a paddle brush or cushion brush if that's what you've got, but technique is important. I remember her brushing from the underside and using her other hand to support the hair, then smoothing the top layer. You can probably find some good vintage hair tutorials on blogs or youtube channels that focus on vintage/pinup style that will explain it better than I can.

[@heritagehuntress9553]

Amen! As someone who also has natural curls and a hairstyling mom.

[@clair8880]

I have wavy hair naturally and although the brushing wasn’t the nicest the waves still came out vintage, even though she wasn’t gentle with the brushing. So idk what you’re talking about Also keep in mind that vintage hairstyles DO require brushing out curls. And yes with a type of brush that is similar to what she uses. Just look at some vintage videos from the 40s and 50s and you’ll see.

when you brush it out U gotta use a wide wet tooth comb it works a thousand times better

[@kekjo611]

Say it with me now, wide tooth comb. With a vintage set you absolutely want a brush to get the perfect shape. But with most heatless methods you want a wide tooth comb to break up the curls without introducing frizz. Also your hair texture is super reminiscent of my daughters and one thing I have found that works best is a misty spray bottle when I comb it out really makes a huge difference. But all that to say I have serious hair envy as I recently had to chop all mine off due to an unfortunate bleach incident.

The method Rachel used for the flexi-rods is basically just doing her foam roller set with a different tool. You can get a different effect by putting the end of your hair at the end of the rod, then spiraling up the length of the rod. (Gods I hope that wording made sense.) It makes for a *much* tighter curl that I love to wear. Though the rods I like to use are smaller than the ones she used here. Not as small as the straws though

You're funny, honest, and I've came to love your household as well (though Nick's an enigma). I can't wait to see all the new place when you're ready to share. Thank you for brightening up my Friday nights.

I love these! The stick one is my fav out of all of them. ❤️ Personally I curl my hair using a rope braid/rope bun method. Basically you split your hair into two sections, twist each section in the same direction, twist them against each other in the opposite direction and secure with an elastic at the bottom. The easiest and most secure way to do it is to twist a little bit, then switch strands, and keep twisting and switching. If your hair is long enough you can then twist the whole thing into a bun. In the morning you just take the elastic out and go through the hair with your fingers, no brushing required (or desired! You don't wanna end up with limp curls.) It produces these nice, soft curls, halfway between curls and waves really. Makes me feel like an Old Hollywood star or Jessica Rabbit, lol. And if you want tighter curls, all you have to do is make two braids instead of one, or even more, it's up to you.

[@brendaleelydon]

Yes! My mantra is "twist to the right, cross over the left" so I remember what step I'm on, haha. Sometimes I'll break it into 3 or 4 braids (mostly in an attempt to get SOME wave/volume near my roots, since my hair is painfully straight), then I twist 2 of the twists together, THEN twist the doubled twists into a single rope that I then twirl into a topknot for sleeping. Other times, I just twist them into 2 & wear 2 buns to bed. Heh heh,

Glad you guys are all moved. Hope you are able to relax over Christmas now x

[@lizzaturnbull]

great fun video as usual! I would perhaps recommend being a little more gentle with the brushing for the health of your hair but the mid-century looks do need brushed. You can also get different results by changing the direction you roll in, i.e putting rollers vertically or diagonally instead of horizontally - it can give a different curl pattern xx

[@drama2queen4]

What timing! I actually bought Cozy Curlers earlier this year because of a video you did, and I was thinking of rolling my hair tonight because it's been a while. This video's just confirmation that I should do that!

[@julchenjdb]

Yay! So happy you're back ❤️ also, I must say that I really like these laid-back videos that are just fun and mindless in a way. Don't get me wrong, I really love your more elaborate videos where you sew or renovate or do cosplay etc, they're so mesmerizing and engaging to watch! But it's also nice to just watch something a bit more relaxed and casual ☺️ hope this makes sense!

[@kianafernandes3901]

Congrats on the move! Your content always makes my week better, and I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for sharing your creativity with the world!

[@melissashiels7838]

So, I wanted to watch this on Saturday morning, as I usually do, but I am in the UK for the weekend and experiencing some travel chaos. I just watched this now because I said "I need some serotonin!" and you certainly delivered! Thanks for the whimsy!

[@vera.nadine]

I so very, very much missed your beauty/makeup skills videos. ❤️ I love all of your cornucopia of creativity and your fast-progressing sewing skills. But, I’m a vintage girl, all the way! 🤩

[@weirdbones]

As a person who recently gave themself a buzzcut, I do enjoy living vicariously through you and your long hair. Danke.

Perfect way to end a Friday. Hopefully you're settling and resting now that you've moved!

[@tammyyoung5462]

I'm over here laughing my butt off!!!! 🤣 That was awesome! Sooooooo fun!!!!!

[@fatfeb]

This one had me crying of laughter while in bed next to my sleeping husband. Thank you for trying out all the weird things and keeping us entertained and inspired.

[@kristinanton5652]

This video was great! Your clever wit always makes me smile and laugh, especially with the fact that I too still feel like I have not registered the last 2 years. More of us feel that way than I thought. Excited for your move and new creative videos. You're the BEST Rachel :) Excited for your new exciting future and glad to be on this journey with you through your exceptional content!

[@LilLilacc]

It literally pained me seeing you brush out each method and then not like it very much 😂 what a fun video! Excited for the house tour!

[@Ohwhale79]

Omg girl, you had me laughing SO HARD at the end. I always went for the french braid method of curling my hair when I was a teen!

[@themadkitkat9302]

ive long hair so ive gotten into the habit of just braiding it for the week but for the half day when theyre out i love the floofy curlyness it gives

[@7I9HR]

My soul cried a little watching you take a brush to your curls 😩 But you still managed to be beautiful with all the styles so I guess it all worked out ❤️

[@amjohnson75]

Omg, when you raise the brush into the shot after taking out the straws….literally made me laugh out loud. 😂❤️

[@elizabethgaunch1815]

I'm like two minutes in and I'm already loving this video. I too thought my hair was just fishy for the longest time, and then I discovered the curly girl method and it turns out I'm just NATURALLY CURLY. If you ever need more hair content, just a suggestion for what you could try.

[@mirjanbouma]

Hi, question: "fishy"? Is that an autocorrect whoopsie or...

[@SeymourDisapproves]

@@mirjanbouma maybe they meant to write "frizzy"

[@mirjanbouma]

@@SeymourDisapproves oh yeah that would make sense. Thanks!

[@OhAlice1951]

I did all the work of rag curls for my wedding day. Lo and behold, a few years later I learned my lions mane of hair is actually curly and looks like rag curls when properly loved.

[@marjoleinsmolders1630]

English is not my first language. When you say "lo and behold" what does lo mean? 😊

[@callmecharlie99]

@@marjoleinsmolders1630 "lo and behold" is a phrase used to describe something surprising that happened.

[@marabuora9547]

I'm starting to suspect my hair might actually be curly, at least a bit, could you suggest me somewhere I can find good, thorough explanation of the curly girl routine? I have no idea where to start😅

[@fibromiteready2fight809]

@@marabuora9547before you start anything, I’d advise figuring out your hair’s porosity (how porous it is). If it gains and loses moisture really quickly, and/or bleaches really quick, it’s probably high porosity. If it takes a few minutes to get wet and you sometimes see actual water droplets just laying on your hair, it’s probably low porosity. Different porosities need different products. Then, I’d recommend looking at India Batson and Penny Tovar. If you get not the method for a few weeks or months and you feel like your hair is just naturally looser than theirs, I’d look into a wavy hair routine. Hope this helps!

[@marabuora9547]

@@fibromiteready2fight809 thank you! I'll look into it😄

[@beatricemassucco1569]

I'm watching this in bed, next to my husband who is trying to go to sleep, and he's already asked me twice why I keep snorting... all this to say, this is great, Rachel! Well done you

[@genna6949]

You are consistently charming, and emmensly watchable (not in a creeper way) no matter what the content. Congrats on the new house! Love your long hair Rachel.

[@LOTRification]

Loved this!! I either do sponge rollers or victorian rag curls (similar to the robe curls, but I use 10 strips of thick fabric and wrap one chunk of hair around each strip). The rag curls probably last the longest for me and aren't absolute butt to sleep in haha

[@swish3432]

Do you brush out with a wider tooth brush?

[@LOTRification]

@@swish3432 sometimes I just use my fingers to brush out the rag curls, but I use a regular brush for the sponge rollers. I really should buy a wide tooth comb

[@santossuerte]

As someone with curly hair usually for tighter curls you want to use a wide tooth comb so it doesn’t frizz out and break the hair ends as much. :) Such a fun video and I love all the work you put out.

[@cori0420]

After doing the straw trick, use curl definition gel, scrunch, diffuse with hair dryer, and then comb your fingers through it until your hair isn't "crunchy" from the gel ❤️

[@yumidynowska6305]

I was checking notifications religiously in order not to miss a new video... And there it is, in its full glory!

[@magdalenacukor2448]

the straw one turned you into beautiful ginger cloud and I love it

[@AfraidOfAnAngel]

a little hair oil on the ends of the straw curls before you brush them out would help with the frizz. That way you will get the volume without are much frizz damage!

[@kaz_7133]

I recommend using your fingers (or a wide-toothed comb) to separate your curls, instead of a brush. That will help reduce the frizz. About two years ago I was growing out my hair and realized it's naturally wavy/curly, so I did a bunch of research into curly hair care and realized my hair was frizzy growing up from always brushing it 😅

[@Tazzie1312]

She wants the brushed out 40s/50s look though

[@Coralynnnnnnn]

Perfect timing, my hair is JUST getting long enough for me to actually curl it again 🥰 so I'm jazzed you did this one today 😁😁

[@jennatodd]

Please keep it long!!! Mainly bc I have really long hair and I need inspo lol. But I loved the look of your hair when you tried the cozy curlers! I think I'm going to get some soon and try it out!

[@grizeldaxxx4568]

WOOHOOOOOOOO NEW HOUSE!!Love Your hair!!! The Plait Crimp look was so Preraphalite (can not spell for the life of me this morning hahaha) I actually love Your hair before You brush it out , when it is all ringlettttyyyyyy x

[@heritagehuntress9553]

Oh, this brought up so many memories of having long hair and being the daughter of a hairstylist! Except in my case, I used the largest rollers I could find because I was trying to tame my natural curls. (Straw 'do post-brushing was exactly how I naturally looked in junior high.)

[@waydeboi]

Loved this! After brushing out the straw curls into the triangle, I couldn’t help but think you looked like Bette Midler in Big Business 😝

[@scarlettohair]

you are AMAZING I LOVE YOU. I'm gonna come visit you someday

[@cheri1567]

I always use flexi rollers for my hair so I'm glad your hair turned out good with it. The poodle hair looked the most like Hermione's in my opinion. It made me laugh so much though. Thanks for the pick me up Rachel. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you.
