~DIY~ Heatless Hair Curling Tutorial!

NOTE: THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WORKED FOR ME AND IT WAS SOMETHING I FOUND ON OTHER PLACES ON THE INTERNET.  I AM NOT CLAIMING THAT THIS WAS MY ORIGINAL METHOD OR THAT THIS WOULD WORK FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hilo fellow earthlings!  So the night before the first day of school, I tried a new heatless hair curling method and the morning after I was pretty happy with the results.  It was slightly frizzy but once I put some anti-frizz stuff in it, it was awesome.  I'm doing it again tonight (September 4th).  Let's get into it!

1. If your hair is dry, get some water and spray it on your hair until it's damp.  Don't soak it or leave it dry because it won't work that well.

2. Get a stretchy headband (nothing fancy, just one you'd use for gym - and not too thick.  Just a simple, thin-ish one will do) and put it around your head like you're a hippie.

3. Take thick pieces of hair (maybe two or three inches wide, unless you want smaller curls or you have thin hair, then I would advise one inch) and twist them.  (I'd suggest away from your face, but that's my preference.)  Once you've twisted the piece, flip it over and under your headband.  You may find you need to re-twist as you go.

4.  It's okay if it's not perfect or your pieces kind of overlap.  Just do the best you can.  Once you finish, you might end up looking really weird or really cool.  Depends what you think of a hairstyle like that.  Push the headband part that's on your forehead up to you hairline so you don't wake up with a big red mark across your forehead.

5.  Take a hairspray and very lightly (and from a distance) spritz the twists so they'll last longer and stay better while you sleep.

6.  Take a scarf or something and tie it around to cover your twists for extra protection.  You'll probably look strange, but don't be alarmed because you won't be leaving the house like that.  (At least I hope so, unless there's an emergency or something...)

7. Go to sleep or keep yourself busy for some hours (depending on when you do this).

8.  When you're ready to take it down,take the scarf off.  Then just take the headband off gently and finger comb your curls/wave, or just separate them. Again, it depends what you want and what you got.  Work with it, play around with it, style it the way you want.  Use any products you feel the need to (anti-frizz, hairspray, etc.)

9.  Enjoy!  And if you don't like the results, you can straighten it, curl it how you want, or put it up.  So let me know if you liked your results or not and anything more you want to hear from me!  I hope this helped you, and if it didn't, let me know if you have any suggestions or even tips for other people who try this!  Thank you and have a wonderful day! :)
