We\u2019re testing heatless curls for longevity, results, comfort, time, difficulty, potential hair damage, and what it\u2019s actually like to rely on curls without heat in real life.<\/p>\n<p>For two weeks, I put away my curling iron and styled my hair heatless 7 different times. I tried everything from overnight blowout-style curls to socks, curl noodles, and the Octocurl \u2014 with some surprisingly gorgeous results\u2026and at least one spectacular failure. \ud83d\ude02<br \/>\nBut I had questions beyond whether heatless curls could look good.<\/p>\n<p>Do heatless curls actually last longer than curling iron curls?
