There are many beautiful hair styles that you can wear that require very little or absolutely no direct heat. It is best to stay away from direct heat as much as possible because it can be severely damaging if used on a regular basis. Below are some pictures of healthy hair styling techniques that will have your hair looking great without the damage! Low manipulation styles are the key!
Roller Setting Done on Natural and Relaxed Hair
Rollersetting has done wonders for my hair. It requires no direct heat. I vary the size of the roller depending on the type of style I'm in the mood for. Try roller setting your kinky natural hair! I thought that this could not be done but I was wrong!! Check out our "rollersetting natural hair" video for instructions.
Protective Styles
Protective styles are styles that protect the hair ends. Usually the hair ends are tucked away protecting them from drying out. These styles involve little or no heat and does not require much manipulation of the hair. Styles such as twists, braids, buns, up-dos, cornrolls, zuluknots or any other style variation that tuck in the hair ends. Our hair ends are the most fragile because they are the oldest. These styles protect the hair in extreme cold and hot temps. There are so many fun options for protective styles...just have fun and be creative with it!
"Braid -Out" This style can be done on relaxed and natural hair.
The braid-out is a great styling alternative if you want the crimped look without using heat appliances.
After washing and deep conditioning, section the hair and apply the Hydratherma Naturals Protein Balance Leave In Conditioner, Daily Moisturizing Growth Lotion and seal with the Hair Growth Oil to each section before braiding.You can air dry or sit under a hood dryer. Once dry, just finger comb.
Bantu Knot Set a.k.a. Zulu Knot Set (Natural or Relaxed Hair)
I just lovvvve this style and it is soooo easy! This style can be done on wet hair but I like the results better on dry hair after rollersetting. After fresh rollerset, I part my hair into 2 to 4 sections and began to twist my hair into 2-4 knots and pin with a bobby pin or clip. I sit under the dryer for about 5 minutes or leave in overnight. After removing the knots, I have soft beautiful waves that lasts all week! Don't forget to sleep in your satin bonnet!
Pincurls on my relaxed hair
The best way to maintain a rollerset throughout the week. I "HATE" sleeping in rollers so I pincurl my hair at night to maintain a curly look. I use 2 different techniques. Technique #1-- I roll my hair like I would with a regular rollerset but omit the roller then I use a long bobby pin to keep it in place. This will give you a tighter bouncy curl. Technique #2 I twirl pieces of my hair around my finger then pin very close to my scalp. This will give you a looser curl. After pin curling my hair, I cover my hair with a satin bonnet and go to bed.

The Rollerset Wrap or "Doobie" on Relaxed hair
When you want the straight look and don't want to use the flat iron you can try "Doobie". Rollerset the hair on large rollers until 90% dry then comb through and wrap the hair. You may sit back under the dryer until totally dry sleep overnight with hair wrapped.

Caruso Steam Roller Set on natural hair. (This can also be done on relaxed hair)
A healthy way to set your hair without the use of direct heat. The caruso molecular steam rollers allows your hair to be curled with steam and left very soft and moisturized. I have learned that you CANNOT use the Caruso steam rollers on natural hair that HAS NOT been straightened. Hair must have been straightened or at least blown straight first. I typically do this set on my hair once I wear it straight for a few days and it starts to revert. Instead of adding more heat, I steam set it. This style last for a few days. I just add the Hydratherma Naturals daily moisturizing growth lotion and hair growth oil to the hair daily....just a small amount to prevent reversion.
Wash and Go aka Shake and Go on Natural Hair
Hair was washed and deep conditioned with Hydratherma Naturals products. I sectioned my hair in four sections. To each section, I applied the Follicle invigorator, protein balance leave in, growth lotion and growth oil. A quarter size amount of moisture boosting conditioner was applied to the wet hair only along with a small amount of gel. Comb through and shake hair while in the shower. You may air dry or sit under the dryer.
Baby Locks on Natural Hair
This is a great style that you can wear for a couple of weeks. Unless you want to lock your hair, I wouldn't wear this style for longer that 2 - 3 weeks. Simply wash and deep condition your hair. Apply Hydratherma Naturals Leave in, moisturizer and oil. Take very small sections of the hair and twist with your fingers. You can apply a little IC Fantasia gel if you like and twist with a comb. Clip each twist to prevent unraveling.
Two Strand Twist Out A.K.A. Double Strand Twist Out on Natural Hair
This is a great style to try! Wash and deep condition your hair. Apply Hydratherma Naturals Leave in, moisturizer and oil to each section prior to twisting. Part your hair in sections and double strand twist from root to tip. Sit under a hood dryer or you can let your hair dry over night to completely avoid heat. After you hair is dry untwist and finger comb. There is no need to comb your hair daily with this style. Just apply moisturizer / oil and finger comb daily. You may add our HTN foaming curly styler to the hair prior to twisting for extra hold.
FUN Curly Fro
My hair was washed and deep conditioned with Hydratherma Naturals Products. I sectioned my hair in four sections. To each section, I applied the Follicle Invigorator, Protein Balance Leave In Conditioning Treatment, Hair Growth Lotion and sealed in the moisture with the Hair Growth Oil. You may add our HTN foaming curly styler to the hair prior to twisting for extra hold. My hair was placed in large two strand twists and air dried. Finger comb when dry.
Another version of the curly fro!
In this version, I small took sections of my hair and used the two strand twist method. I then pincurled each section. The next day I take the pincurls down and untwist the hair.

Large dry hair twist out

Double strand twists each section. Use larger twists. Unravel the twist in the morning and finger comb. You may add our HTN foaming curly styler to the hair prior to twisting for extra hold.
Two strand twist set on rods or small rollers.
This can be done on natural and relaxed hair. You can create a really short look by doing this style. After double strand twisting, set the hair on rods or small rollers with our HTN Foaming Sea Silk Curly Sryler. Once dry, finger comb and unravel the twists.

Larger two strand twist set.
I applied the Protein Balance leave in Conditioner, Daily Moisturizing Growth Lotion and sealed in the moisture with the hair growth oil. This style was set with our HTN Naturals Foaming Sea Silk Curly Styler. Ends were rolled with satin covered sponge rollers. In the morning, I just finger combed. Loved the results!
Deep WAVES!!!!!!
Prep- Hair was washed and deep conditioned with Hydratherma Naturals Products. I then applied the Hydratherma Naturals styling products and proceeded to blow dry my hair. I then two strand twisted the hair in about 12 twists and placed the twist in bantu knots.
The next morning I finger combed my hair and formed soft deep waves in the front with my fingers. I sprayed my hair with the Hydratherma Naturals Herbal Gloss heat protector for more shine. This style was actually an accident but I rolled with it :-)
