Kitsch Satin Heatless Curling Set, Sunset Tie Dye
A cheap, reusable way to get heatless waves, if the hair type suits and the wrap is practiced.
The short version
- Medium to long hair, especially hair with some natural wave
- Anyone cutting back on curling irons and hot tools
- People who want a set and forget style overnight
- Your hair is short
- You need tight, long lasting curls on very straight, fine hair
- You can't sleep with anything on your head
What owners like
- Gives curls or waves with no heat damage
- Setup takes only a few minutes once the technique clicks
- Curls can last a day or more on hair with natural wave
- Cheap, reusable and easy to pack for travel
Common complaints
- A learning curve; the first few attempts often come out uneven
- Comfort for sleeping is mixed, and side sleepers find it harder
- Weaker results on fine, straight hair, where curls relax into waves
- Frizz reduction is not as clear as the packaging suggests
- The rod can be too long for short hair

What it does
A soft satin covered rod and two scrunchies from Kitsch that curl hair without heat while it is worn overnight or for a few hours in the day.
- Curls hair with time rather than heat
- Satin cover meant to reduce friction, frizz and breakage
- Works on damp or dry hair, worn by day or overnight
- Different wrapping methods give tighter curls or looser waves
- Kitsch also sells an XL version with a longer rod
A low cost way to get waves or loose curls without a curling iron, best for medium to long hair that already has some bend. Expect a few tries before the wrap goes right, and expect results to vary: straight, fine hair may only hold a soft wave, and not everyone finds it comfortable to sleep in.

It can, but results on fine, straight hair were modest in reviews. Second day hair held the shape better.

Is it comfortable to sleep in?
Opinions split. One long term tester found it comfortable, while three other testers did not, especially side sleepers.
