How do you sleep in heatless curls?????

I have tried heatless curls many times and find them too uncomfortable to sleep in. How do you do it? I want lovely flowing locks, but no neck ache....

Have you seen the hack where you curl from the back up towards the crown of your head? There's also a 'unicorn method' for side sleepers.

Very easily! What are you actually using to do the curls OP? I find the big satin rod that they market for heatless curls to be incredibly uncomfortable - I barely slept a wink. Now just do them every night with a dressing gown cord and a pair of scrunchies. I don’t notice it in my sleep whatsoever!

I'll see if I can find the upside down method

I have a squishy silky thing but have tried my towel dressing gown too which I found hard.

I sleep front/side/back so need to toss and turn!

I'm like you, I sleep in a host of different positions. So instead of putting the rod/dressing gown belt on the crown of your head and starting there, you put it at the nape of your neck and work upwards, then kinda cross over at the crown. Means there's nothing at the back of your head or the sides. Works for me! Though I'm yet to actually master the curls staying in (don't think I wrap tight enough) I do at least sleep well!

My daughter uses a pair of tights for heatless curls - I expect they would be quite comfortable to sleep in and her hair looks fab!
