How to Get Straight Hair Without Heat: The Silk Scarf Wrapping Method
We all know that adding constant heat to our hair is anything but good, so in this tutorial, I will show you how to get straight hair without heat! I have been doing this for quite a while, and it’s worked wonders on my hair. You’ll love how easy this is, and the results are impressive, too.
Tools and materials:
- Silk scarf
- Hairpins
- Comb
- Anti-frizz serum or hair oil
This is my hair after it dries it. It always looks like this. My hair is naturally quite straight, but always frizzes out after I wash it and takes some time to calm down!
1. Apply a serum or oil
Start by combing your hair and applying an anti-frizz or any other oil-based serum to your hair. I'm using John Frieda Frizz Ease Anti-Frizz Serum.
2. Section and wrap your hair
Now, section your hair by first starting at the crown of your head, as shown.
Twist that section in a bun and clip to secure. Then, start with the very front section of your hair. Comb it over and smooth it out with your comb.
Once it’s nice and flat, take one bobby pin and secure this section in place.
Tip: Thicker hair types may need more pins.
Next, comb your hair around. The aim is to wrap all of the hair around your head, making sure it is flat as you go along.
Add pins accordingly as you move around your head.
When you get to the front, use one bobby pin on top and another at the bottom. This is to ensure your hair is fastened.
Take it around again, as needed.
Remember, the tighter you can keep it, the better it’s going to work.
Now, unclip the top section of your hair, and brush it out.
Split the section into two.
Brush it back and pin and bring the ends round to the front of your head.
With the remaining loose section, do the same but wrap it on the opposite side of your head.
This is what it looks like at the back.
3. Wrap the silk scarf
This is the step for those who want to know how to wrap straight hair in a scarf overnight, this is the step! Now, fold your silk scarf into a triangle, and lay it carefully in front.
Cross the fabric at the back and tighten it.
Pull the back bit downward to make sure everything lies flat and tight.
Now, tie the front.
4. Take out the pins
So, if you leave in the pins, they may cause indentations. That’s why it’s a good idea to remove them while your scarf is still on.
Next, place two pins on the front and the back of each ear to ensure the scarf stays in place.
Now, you need to wear this for a good couple of hours, four hours at the least, but you could also do overnight.
5. Remove the scarf
This is what my hair looks like after. Gently undo your hair and run your fingers through it.
Next, brush it through. See how smooth my hair is?

This is just an old school doobie
Brilliant idea!! Straight hair without using a hot iron! Way better for your hair.
I took clothing class about 50 years ago-when there were no hair irons. A girl in our class with tight curly hair wanted it straight so we took turns ironing sections of her hair with a clothes iron.
This would’ve been much better.
Thanks for sharing!
