Charlie Curls Heatless Curls Review

I heat style most days, even during the pandemic, because I like to at least blow dry my roots, but this unfortunately leads to a lot of heat exposure. The CharlieCurls kit lets me curl my hair without any heat tools, letting my hair take a break from heat styling.

The CharlieCurls heatless hairstyling kit works with the structure of your hair to create bouncy, beautiful curls. The kit contains one CharlieCurl, a carrying bag, one hair mist sprayer, and one wooden comb. The CharlieCurl is available in teal, black, purple, and brown. My kit had the teal color.

All three elements of the kit can also be purchased individually, but getting them all together in the kit is a great value and the best deal, in my opinion.

The kit contains instructions on how to use the CharlieCurl: first you mist your hair with water using the misting bottle, comb through with the wooden comb, and then twist your hair into an updo with the CharlieCurl.

The misting bottle creates an even mist that is easy to apply throughout all of your hair. It's best to use the styler on dry second or third day hair (not freshly washed) and then mist with water. The wooden comb is made from 100 percent bamboo and reduces frizz because it doesn't conduct electricity.

The CharlieCurl can be worn several ways and the box includes instructions on how to do the Traditional Roll. They also have videos on their website for other types of rolls, including the Low Bun, Unicorn Roll, Princess Roll, and Double Roll.

You can also have a free consultation with the CharlieCurl team if none of these methods work for you. Every person's hair is different and they will work with you via video conference to find the best way to use CharlieCurl with your hair.

I have thick, layered hair that is a little bit past my shoulders. The Traditional Roll didn't work that well for me due to my multiple layers, but I found that the Low Bun was most effective. The Princess Roll is also recommended for layered hair, but you need two CharlieCurls for that and I only had one.

It took me a little while to get used to using the CharlieCurl. I'll admit I'm not the best at styling my hair (outside of using a flat iron) and I got a little frustrated while trying to use it at first. Since my hair is so thick, it didn't feel very secure at first and I had to keep playing with it to get it in the right position. Once I was able to find a hold that worked for me, though, I left it in for the recommended three hours. I did use it on freshly washed hair, but I still think the results came out nicely! I'll continue to try different methods and use it again when my hair isn't as newly washed.
