If you’ve found yourself on any girls’ social media pages lately, chances are that you’ve seen someone trying the heatless sock curls — and I finally tried them too.

I’ve seen a million different products being advertised for heatless curls, but I’m not willing to spend money on something that’s such a gamble. _{(and that looks to be kinda complicated to do by yourself)}

I’ve tried my fair share of curling methods over the years; all heatless, of course, because I refuse to kill my hair again after I bleached it to death with hydrogen peroxide when I was 14. My hair was fried, broken, and stretchy when wet (a very weird experience) for a couple of years until I grew it out and cut it off.

Ever since then I’ve been scared to do anything that will cause damage to it. That means no straighteners, curling irons, or curling products.
