EditSteps
EditHeatless Chopsticks Curls
- Wash your hair. Lather up some shampoo and massage it into the scalp for a minute or two to promote blood flow. Saturate the ends of the hair with conditioner and leave it for five to ten minutes before rinsing out.
- Remove knots and tangles. Start combining the hair from the bottom to the top with a wide tooth comb to remove knotted hair.
- Grab some chopsticks. The amount of chopsticks needed depends on how curly you want your hair to be. Use more chopsticks for voluminous tight curls and fewer chopsticks for loose curls.
- Wrap your hair around the chopstick. Grab a big or small section of hair and twirl it around the chopstick just like you would with a normal curling iron.
- Secure with a clip or a small hair tie. Once the hair is around the chopstick, use a hair tie or hair clip to prevent it from unraveling.
- Continue throughout the entire head. Repeat the process until all the hair is wrapped with chopsticks.
- Allow to dry. If you decide to wait overnight, wear something to protect the hair. Be extremely cautious as the hair may unravel; you can also wait by doing chores around the house.
- Remove the chopsticks. Once the hair is completely dry, remove the chopsticks gently by taking out the tie or clip. Continue this process until all the chopsticks are out of the hair.
- Style your hair and add accessories. Use any desired hair products and decide how you want to rock your new curls by leaving your hair down. Do a high pony, part your hair or even do a "half up, half down" style or add a pretty bow.
EditChopstick Curls with Heat
- Heat a flat iron. Plug in a flat iron and wait until it's hot enough to use.
- Wrap your hair around the chopstick. Grab a big or small section of hair, then twirl it around the chopstick just like you would with a normal curling iron.
- Press the flat iron onto the wrapped hair. Hold the flat iron onto the hair for a few seconds, making sure all the hair has been touched by the flat iron.
- Gently remove the chopstick. Pull the chopstick carefully out of the hair.
- Continue until all hair is curled. Repeat the same process throughout the whole head.
- Style as usual. Use any desired hair products to achieve your wanted look.

EditTips
- Both metal and wooden chopsticks will work to achieve these curls.
- Make sure your hair is damp when doing the heatless curls, but also make sure it's not soaking wet; if it is, it will take a long time to dry.
- Wrap the hair tightly around the chopstick for a tighter curl, and wrap it looser for a loose curl.
- Avoid running your fingers through your hair too much, as this will ruin the curls.
- Have a spray bottle filled with water to spray your hair with. Do this if it dries when doing the heatless curls.
- These curls can also work on doll hair too.
- Have someone else do these curls for you if you need support.
- Always use a heat protectant before using heat on hair to prevent damage.
