These are the heatless curlers that are worth the space inyour luggage.

The carrying case is a bit bulky.

In terms of fabrics thatll come in contact with your hair or skin, silk is an exceptional choice.

It also helps reduce creasing.

Thats why this roller set crafted from 100 percent pure mulberry silk tops our list.

The high-quality materials help produce bouncy, voluminous waves that look shiny and natural.

The rod is one-size-fits-most and can be used on all hair types.

It was difficult to achieve a tighter curl pattern.

The adjustable headband didnt feel tight or constricting.

Original Sway Heatless Curling Ribbon

The 63-inch velour curling ribbon is comfy to sleep in.

It wont work as well on layered haircuts.

If you have long hair, youll appreciate the added length on this 63-inch velour heatless curling wand.

We also love that this product uses eco-friendly dyes, which do not produce harmful chemicals or environmental pollution.

An anti-frizz serum may help improve the look of the curls.

The 100 percent mulberry silk curling ribbon wont draw moisture from your hair and helps prevent unwanted creasing.

The curls may loosen a bit throughout the day.

(We recommend securing it atop your head with a claw clip, which is not included.)

Theyre not the most comfortable for overnight use.

It would be nice if it included a claw clip to secure hair.

This 100 percent silk-lined curling rod looks as gorgeous as the bouncy curls it produces.

People with very long or thick hair will appreciate the added surface area on the 43-inch rod.

We found this to be comfortable for overnight use and preferred to use it that way over daytime wear.

Its safe for dry cleaning or hand-washing.

They create curls that are pretty tight and need some work to look more natural.

Each product was tested at least two or three times during the testing period.

That being said, results will vary based on hair punch in and the products used.

Like any hair styling tool, they can also take some practice to figure out.

It also dries hair surprisingly quickly, making it great for getting out of the hotel quickly.
