My Gorgeous Mother :D
No heat curls! There is such a thing! And the technique is so simple and effective that after you try this you will say Bye-bye to your curling iron! Here are the supplies you will need:- A Tube Sock
- Water
- Mousse of your choice ( Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Mousse works really well because you get the hold you want and still have touchable, flexible curls)
Yeah... that is all that you need to have awesome curls! Another thing I love about this technique is that there is no damage to your hair because there is no heat involved! I had to try this technique out on my mother's hair because mine is too short and she has long, gorgeous locks :D Here's how to get the look:
- First you take a long sock/ tube sock and cut the end where the toes would go off so that you can put your arm all the way through.
- Then you roll it into a "doughnut"
This is what it should look like :P
- After you have rolled the sock into a "doughnut" you are going to set it aside and put your hair into a HIGH pony tail. Try to make it as high and you can on your head and then secure it with a rubber hair band ( you want it loose but not loose enough that it falls off your head or falls out of the ponytail and so you won't get that ugly rubber band crease in your hair)
- Then apply water to the tail of your pony tail, you want it to be just a little wet because if it is too wet then the hair will not dry when it is in the sock and therefore the curls will not stick. You may have to try it a few times to see what amount works for you.
- After you have applied the water, take a handful of mousse and make sure to get all of the pony tail. Some people will say to only use water but water and mousse is how I achieved the best curls for my mothers hair, but everyone is different! Again be careful to not apply too much.
- Next you take the tail of your pony tail and pull it through the hole of the sock doughnut.
- Pull the sock doughnut to the end of your pony tail but do not let the hair fall out of it.
- Take your ends and tuck them around the sock and continue to roll your hair around the sock
- If you are doing it right you will get closer to the top of your head and it will start to look like a Bun.
- It may take a few times of trying to roll the hair around the sock doughnut but once you get it you're good to go! It's like riding a bike :P
- Let the bun rest on your head while you are sleeping so you can have curls during the day or you can wear it during the day if you want your curls at night :D But let this sit for at least 4-6 hours for good measure.
- Whatever time you decide to do this technique whenever you are ready to see your beautiful curls all you do is unroll the bun and take out the rubber hair band and voila! Beautiful, touchable, no-heat curls!
Perfect :D
