Curls always look good on any kind of hair or any kind of hair type, but it requires a hot curling iron to nearly singe the straightness out of your hair right? Not necessarily, as there are ways to curl hair without using curling irons and damaging the hair for a curly bounce that does not even last that long. Here is one way to do it.
- Firstly, you need to wash and condition your hair as you normally would.
- Your hair has to be damp and not entirely dry. Don't blow dry your hair, for you may not get that even dampness all round, you do not want wet, damp and dry spots all over your head. Towel it or tie up your hair and remove all the wetness. You will need a 60 to 70 percent dampness still remaining.
- Remove all knots and tangles in your hair. Use a wide toothed comb or better still, your fingers and gently disentangle your hair. You need a nice smooth base to work with. Tangled hair is very difficult to work with.
- Wear an elastic head band over your head and behind your ears. It has to be firm and not too tight. Also make sure that there is no hair sitting over the band, all the hair has got to be tucked underneath the band.
- Take a small bunch of hair about an inch wide, form a curl and tuck it under the band. Make it look like a twisted loop. The strand should have gone under and around the band from front to back. You need to keep on repeating this till you have a roll of hair strand around the band.
- Work from front to back and do it over and over again till all of your hair has been wrapped around the hair band.
- Work all of the hair eventually covering even the hair at the base of your head. All the hair has to be looped. This is crucial.
- Sleep on the roll, the next morning, slowly unfurl the band and you've got yourself some lovely curls!
This is not the best way to go about curls and certainly not the only way. There are a lot of other methods that can be used to curl your hair. This is a way that can be done safely on hair types.
