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.

As far as i understand, the main part of keeping the hair curly, is to keep moisture in it. Salt will just dry the hair out, so i dont see this as an useful method to make hair curly. On the other hand, it looks relatively simple, so i can at least try it and see if it works for me.

I don’t know the science, but I do know that seawater makes my hair a little stiff and super curly. I have naturally curly hair, but they’re big loose curls that hang. With seawater though, it becomes a big fluffy afro.
