Earlier this year, I noticed some of my fellow silver sisters showing up on Instagram wearing a crazy contraption on their heads, and I wondered what in the heck was going on.
This crazy-looking thing is called the Octocurl and I can tell you right now that it quickly became one of my favorite tools for achieving gorgeous heatless curls and beachy waves.
The Octocurl is an elastic headband with a number of fabric strips that hang down so you can wrap your hair around them (kind of like rag curlers from the olden days, but more modern and convenient).
Even if you use a high-quality thermal protectant and use your heat tools on the low setting, if your hair is prone to yellowing like mine is, you can get some heat damage despite all those precautions.
