Bouncy Retro Waves
Who doesn’t want to wake up with soft retro curls? There are two different ways you can do this. For both of them you want to start with your hair about 70% dry.
The first method is that you can use bobby pins. You simply take two-inch sections of hair, wrap it around your finger and then pin the curl with a bobby pin. Repeat until you’ve finished the entire process. Once you’ve finished add a second bobby pin to each curl so that they are secure through the night.
Second, you can simply wrap your hair up in bendy foam rollers. They are soft and comfortable so you can sleep without problems. When you wake up you might want to loosen them so that they are bouncy and loose.

Bandana and Waves
If you have a few bandanas lying around then this is a great way to get waves. Simply braid your damp hair with bandanas and go sleep. Depending on the length and fullness of your hair you might want to use 4 braids so that the curls are even.

Boho Headband Waves
For this clever no-heat overnight hairstyle you just need a headband. You might want to add a little mousse, gel, or sea salt spray. You simply take a stretchy headband and wrap it around your head (think boho style). Then you take 2-inch section of your hair at the front and loop it towards your face and tuck it into the headband. Repeat until all of your hair is wrapped up. Then get a good nights rest and wake up to beautiful boho curls.
