Before & After
OVERNIGHT TRANSFORMATION
The Story Behind the Flower Curl
My hair journey was very much inspired by my parents. My beautiful mother was on a mission to strengthen my very thin hair by cutting it bob up until the age of six. When I started to realise how short my hair was, I asked if I could grow my hair longer and my father encouraged me to do so until my locks reached my thighs! Every time I was due a trim, my mother would measure and trim my hair and then my dad and I would check to see how much my mum cut off!
At the age of 17, I decided to enter a competition and I longed for big, voluminous curls so I booked an appointment at the hairdresser and asked to have my hair curled for the event. The hairdresser prepared my hair and set a bunch of rollers in, on the morning of the event and she advised me not to remove them up until the evening. I was so excited to see the hair curling results but I knew I had to wait until it was time for me to go up on stage as I already knew how much my hair struggles to hold any curls.
Well, as you can see from the picture, my hair doesn’t look like I’ve had any rollers in that day, (ten hours plus to be exact). Although, I did get a couple of flicks here and there which I was not too impressed about.
This particular picture and how much time I spent at the hairdresser and how uncomfortable I was throughout the whole day, really stuck with me and from then on, I was on a mission to find a hair curler that could curl my hair beautifully.
Nine years later, and I still haven’t found a hair curler that could create beautiful long lasting curls. I tried curling tongs and other heated hair curlers, but the curls only lasted five minutes and by the time I stepped out of the house my hair was completely straight again, not to mention all the split ends that I had after just one use. I also used a variety of different rollers and other heatless hair curlers but I either found them difficult to use, time consuming, super uncomfortable or my hair got tangled in the products which also ended up damaging my locks!
At about 8:30am on Tuesday 10th November 2015, I was on my way to my office job and I had a light bulb moment for a new heatless hair curler. As soon as I got to my desk, I grabbed a piece of paper, drew what I had in mind and put it in my handbag. I could not wait to get back home to make my very first prototype.
I got so excited and I just knew in my heart that my idea was going to work and I spent months making & testing different prototypes and refining the idea in my good old shed.
I wanted to create a hair curler that met my very long list of standards and that I simply could not find on the market and in any other hair curling products. I found many of the other hair curling products outdated, bulky and uncomfortable. I realised that there was an opportunity for a new heatless hair curler that many women will absolutely love and would want to try.

Can I use the Flower Curl on wet/damp hair?
We recommend to start off with completely dry hair.
With so much misinformation online, we understand that it can be hard to know what's best when it comes to hair care. We have done extensive research and tested countless techniques and found that if you go to bed with wet/damp hair, there's a very good chance that your hair will not dry properly, you will also wake up with more frizz, dryness, breakage and split ends - which I'm sure we all want to avoid.
Our hair tools are also coated in satin which is a non absorbent material. This means that any hair oils sitting on your hair will not be transferred to the product. This also means that if your hair is wet or damp, your hair will simply not dry properly.
Here are some tips:
1. Start off with completely dry hair
2. For longer lasting curls and more definition to your curls/waves, we recommend applying a little bit of water to the length of your before wrapping. Your hair shouldn't feel wet or damp. A little bit of water goes a long way.
Is the Flower Curl comfortable to sleep in?
Yes! Unlike other heatless hair curler or DIY hair curling methods, the Flower Curl does not sit around your face and it doesnt cover your ears - this is what's going to allow you to sleep comfortably and roll from side to side without feeling discomfort.
How long will it take me to wrap my hair in the Flower Curl?
The amount of time it takes to set the Flower Curl in your hair, depends on the length of your hair and which Flower Curl option you go for. The 2 rings option should only take you a couple of minutes, whilst the 4 rings/ 5 rings option might take you a little longer, depending on the length of your hair.
Is the Flower Curl suitable for kids?
Yes, the Flower Curl is suitable for kids aged 7+.
Make sure you check size of scalp against the hair curler to see which hair curling option is most comfortable for the child.
Hair Length Guide for the Flower Curl
Is the Flower Curl suitable for both fine and thick hair?
The heatless hair curler is suitable for both fine and thick hair. The 4 ring version is best suited for women with fine to medium thick hair whilst our Flower Curl 5 ring version is perfect for women with very thick hair.
How long do I need to leave the Flower Curl in my hair to see results?
Flower Curl: It depends on your natural hair structure and how curly you'd like your hair to turn out. Some customers leave the hair curler in for 3 hours during the day to achieve loose curls, others like to leave it in overnight for more defined and longer lasting curls. Experiment with the curler and see what works for you.
Is it difficult to remove the Flower Curl in the morning?
No, it is not difficult to remove and you'll be waking up excited every time you use the heatless hair curler! The Flower Curl is coated in satin fabric which makes the unravelling process super smooth and easy!! Your hair will simply slide off with ease, no tangling and zero damage!
Will the Flower Curl work on wigs and hair extensions?
The hair curler will work on human hair wigs and human hair extensions.
How do I secure my hair in the Flower Curl?
Option 1: Secure with hair grips supplied.
Can I achieve different hair curling results with the Flower Curl?
Yes you can! It all comes down to how you use the curler and how for how long you leave the heatless hair curler in.
Why Satin and not Silk?
The Flower Curl is coated in satin fabric, a very gentle material for your hair which helps to tame frizz, dryness, breakage and unneccassary friction. The satin also helps ensure a smooth unravelling process revealing silky soft curls when removed.
What's the difference between the Flower Curl & Waver Bun?
The Waver Bun is a great hair tool for bed, workouts or for when you simply need to put your hair up. Instead of putting your hair up in a messy bun or ponytail, wrap your hair in the Waver Bun, this keeps your hair free from damage and breakage and when removed, you can also achieve beautiful waves, which we think is an extra added bonus!
TIPS
○ Start off with completely dry and brushed hair
○ Insert a hair pin through the middle ring to stop the curler from moving.
○ For more definition to your curls and longer lasting results, spritz some water on each section of hair before wrapping.
○ Leave in overnight or for a few hours during the day
○ Brush out the tight curls for softer looking curls
○ How to secure the hair in place.
Hair Grips: You need to insert two hair pins per ring as shown in the video. If you fail to do this, your hair might unravel during the night and you will wake up with loose curls / hair not curled properly. Then pin down with another grip. We typically use 3 pins per ring.
Claw clips are now also available to use as an alternative way to secure the hair in place.
