Thick, wavy hair already has a pattern. A heatless set smooths it into polished, defined curls without frizz from hot tools.
The criss-cross wrap: our recommended method for thick hair
The criss-cross wrap is the best way to wrap thick hair. Crossing each section over the band makes sure every section is wrapped securely and curls evenly, including the inner layers.
- Start with dry or slightly misted hair, fully detangled with the Cozy Smoothing Brush.
- Place your CurlBand™ (Long size) over the top of your head and clip the middle at your crown.
- Take a small section, about 1 inch, at the front on one side and cross it over the band.
- Take the next small section from the other side and cross it over the band in the opposite direction.
- Keep alternating left and right, crossing each new section over the band as you work down its length, so every section is secured on its own.
- When you reach the ends, wrap them smoothly around the band and secure them with a scrunchie.
- Sleep, and unwrap in the morning once every section feels dry.

Wavy tip: smooth on a little curl cream before wrapping. Use the CurlBand™ Classic (Long) for defined curls, or the CurlBand™ BeachWave to enhance your natural texture. Scrunch gently with your fingers instead of brushing.
