The Barbie Kitsch Heatless Curls vs Curling Iron
When it comes to achieving flawless curls, there are two ways to go about it. We either use heatless curls or curling iron. Heatless curls are catered for a more damage-free hair, healthier approach, often relying on the overnight process; whereas the curling iron holds your curls in longer and may take up to 10-15 minutes of styling, but which one is for you? Luckily for you I have tried each method and here is my take on both products.
Heatless Curls
The Barbie Kitsch Heatless Curls is made out of satin, and there are a lot of beneficial factors of satin such as reducing frizz on hair, helps keep hair smooth, prevents wrinkles on your skin, stays cool while you sleep, and is gentle on sensitive skin.
