My hair is very straight, without slightest waviness, and due to having androgenic alopecia, i cant use heat or chemicals to curl my hair, as it is harmful for my hair and scalp.

What alternative methods do you use to make your hair curly? It will be interesting for me to read and try it myself.

You can try braiding it after showering and letting it dry. Then use some hairspray to help it last linger if you can use it.

I tried starting from simple, and made one big braid, and waited until it dried, without leaving overnight. Of course my first result was far from perfect, but even with this poorly made try, i did get a visible change in waviness. So i now want to experiment more, make tighter braids, leave them overnight.

Thank you very much for recommending me this :3

I'm so glad that I could help! :) my wife would braid my hair before I decided to come out and the wave and bounce gave me so much euphoria.

considering the restrictions this might work, I find my hair always curls up when I don't brush it right after a shower so braiding it and waiting would do the trick

This is a great method. I was friends with some horse girls as a teen and I let them braid my hair to practice for the horses. I was so curly back then ๐Ÿ’–

This method looks very simple, and is easy to improve effect by using curling lotion and keeping braids overnight. I will obviously try it, but i dont know whether it is an effective method to make hair curly, to later use it with curly girl method.
