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.

How to Use the Flower Curl
Want to learn how you can wake up with bouncy hair in the morning? Whether you prefer loose curls, voluminous curls or beach waves, the hair curler has been designed with busy women in mind, which means you will be able to set the curler in your hair in minimal time, sleep comfortably with it on and wake up to beautiful curls the following morning – all without causing unnecessary damage to your hair.
Flower Curl Suitable for Different Hair Types
Whether you have fine, thick, straight, wavy or curly hair, the Flower Curl will create the most luscious curls whilst you sleep! The hair curler sits nicely across your scalp and away from your face and ears, allowing you to roll from side to side during the night without feeling discomfort.
The Flower Curl is named after its petal shaped design and comes with soft detachable rings that are attached to the middle donut. The concept behind the Flower Curl is pretty simple and one that you will be able to master in no time! The hair is positioned into a high ponytail using the middle donut, with the rings already attached to it. The length of hair is then sectioned and wrapped around each ring and secured with bobby pins.
The hair curler is best suited for women with the following hair lengths: Aprmit length hair, mid back length and waist length hair. In this article we’ll go through 4 different ways you can use the Flower Curl and the different hair curling results that you can achieve.
4 Ways to use the Flower Curl
Option #1: Voluminous Curls
If you love the idea of waking up with voluminous hair, then this option is the one to go for! Suitable for both fine and thick hair, this curling option uses all 4 rings (or 5 rings for thick hair). It is a firm favourite with our customers as it creates plenty of bounce and volume. The curls will appear tight at first, which will need to be opened or brushed out to create a softer look. This Flower Curl option will take just a few minutes to set, depending on the length of your hair.
Option #2: Slightly Looser Curls
This Flower Curl option will give you a generous amount of curls but slightly looser than the first option. To achieve this look, detach one of the rings from the hair curler, using the strap and hook provided.
Option #3: Loose Large Curls
Many of our customers love experimenting with different amount of rings. This option is a very popular one as it creates beautiful loose curls in the least amount of time. Best suited for fine hair, this option uses 2 rings only and is positioned on the top of the scalp, same as the previous two techniques.
Option #4: Beach Waves
If you have fine waist length hair, this option is perfect for you! This Flower Curl technique uses two rings only and is positioned at the back of the scalp, rather than the top. The curls will appear looser and is perfect for those who are looking to achieve a soft beach waves look without the heat. Make sure you secure the curler at the back of the scalp by inserting a bobby pin through the middle donut, as this helps to keep the curler in place whilst wrapping your hair around each ring.
Helpful Tips for Best Results
We spent three years testing, prototyping and finding out what works and what doesn’t. We’ve curated some helpful tips for our customers, that we think you’ll find useful when using the Flower Curl overnight hair curler. So here it goes:
-
Use the Flower Curl on completely dry and brushed hair
-
Insert a bobby pin through the middle ring to help stop the curler from moving
-
Make sure the back of the hair is nicely pulled up and not hanging loose
-
Spritz or apply some water on each section of hair for longer lasting curls (you only need a little bit!)
-
For long lasting curls, leave curler in overnight or for at least 6 hours during the day.
