Making Waves While You Sleep: Sarah Glover Introduces SokCurl™
Photographer Kat Parker @katrinaparker
Mornings move quickly. Between early meetings and the quiet build of everything the day will ask of you, getting ready can feel like one more thing to solve or gets left to the wayside. Most women are looking for something that helps them feel put together without slowing everything else down. We’re no longer in the season of spending hours in front of the mirror before getting on the bus for school—we’re keeping up with meetings, deadlines, family commitments, and finding time to rest in between it all.
Sarah Glover, an internationally recognized chef and outdoor adventurer, often moves between remote coastlines and rugged mountain trails. Raised along the rocky shores of Tasmania, she has built a life around open-fire cooking, travel, and creating beauty in places most wouldn’t think to look.
Traveling from one outdoor space to another doesn’t leave much room to reset. There’s rarely a long pause in between—just a quick shift from one environment to the next. For years, doing her hair meant either packing hot tools or figuring something out on the fly, often in less-than-ideal conditions.
“In my world, time is the most valuable ingredient,” Glover has shared. “Between filming cooking series and hosting workshops, I used to have to choose between a great adventure and great hair.”
Repeated heat styling, especially at high temperatures, can weaken the hair over time, lifting the cuticle, reducing moisture, and leading to breakage. It’s not always immediate, but it’s cumulative, the kind of damage that shows up gradually in dryness, in frizz, in ends that no longer hold their shape.
Heatless styling offers a different approach. Instead of forcing the hair into place, it works with its natural structure, allowing it to set gently over time.
The viral “sock curl” method inspired Sarah to create an elevated product that proved soft waves didn’t require heat.
The sock curl trend has grown to be a favorite tool for women—an easy few minutes at bedtime. Hair is wrapped, secured, and left to set while you sleep, removing the need to carve out extra time in the morning.
The satin creates a smooth, low-friction surface, helping to reduce breakage and maintain the hair’s natural moisture. Unlike cotton, which can absorb oils and create tension as the hair shifts during sleep, satin allows the hair to move more freely—resulting in softer, more defined waves by morning.
There’s a reason women are loving this product, it gives you back your time and peace of mind that your hair is ready for the day with minimal effort and no damaging heat. Healthy hair, like most things, responds to consistency.
“For me, this has been a game-changer. When I put SokCurl in overnight, my hair is always ready the next day, whether I’ve slept in my own bed, a hotel, an RV, or even a tent. You’ll even see me wearing SokCurl on flights. When I land, I pull out my hair and I’m ready to cook a feast or shoot the next installment of a cooking series.”
Effortless Evolution: How to Use SokCurl
Designed to be more intuitive and secure than DIY methods, achieving the perfect wave is a simple three-step ritual:
-
Prep & Secure: Section your hair and secure it with SokCurl’s satin scrunchie. For long-lasting results, lightly mist with mousse or setting spray to give the waves extra hold.
-
Wrap & Tie: Wrap your hair around the roller. Roll upward toward your scalp and tie the ribbon ends together to secure.
-
Sleep & Reveal: Sleep comfortably for 6–8 hours while your style sets. In the morning, simply unroll to reveal beautiful, bouncy, damage-free curls that are ready for the day.
Material Matters
SokCurl uses a high-grade satin weave over traditional cotton or silk for its unique technical advantages:
-
Moisture Retention: Unlike absorbent cotton, satin ensures hair’s natural oils and treatments stay in the strand.
-
Friction-Free: The ultra-smooth surface reduces frizz and mechanical breakage, making it gentle enough for color-treated and damaged hair.
-
Nomadic Durability: Built to be reused hundreds of times, the tool is machine washable and travel-ready.
SokCurl is available in two tones, Peony, a soft floral pink, and Spice, a warm terracotta, and is offered as both a single styler and a Duo Pack.
Single Styler: $29
Duo Pack: $49 (the perfect “bestie bundle” for thicker hair, tighter curls, and gifting)
