My hair does not like to hold curl.
AT ALL.
It is the type of hair that falls out on the right side of my head (that I just curled) before I even finish curling the left side. It doesn't help that I live in Florida. Humidity + resistance to curl in the first place = sad, sad me. It also takes me forevaaaa to curl it. I have long, fairly thick hair so I am looking at around 45 minutes spent to end up with just plain wavy hair.
Exhibit A:
My hair was curly as can be before I stepped outside.
I have seen a lot of "time saving & no heat" tutorials floating around the blog world recently and was quite intrigued.
Particularly by this video:
I thought to myself, I have a headband that will work perfectly for this!
And I usually watch TV for a bit before going to bed... might as well make that time useful and style my hair for the next day!
Here is another tutorial - in pictures this time:
IT WORKS FOR REAL! I tried it last night.
Sorry for the creepy Myspace-esque picture and my messy room. It was 7:20 AM. :(
You get the picture?!
I pinned my hair into a half-up / half-down style this morning because the curls were really intense and I didn't have enough time to completely work them the way I wanted.
I love this method though! My hair is still pretty curly (8 hours later) & it was a really fast way to look more polished in the morning. Yay for finally dressing like a real person for class and for not automatically grabbing a hat, t-shirt, and Nike shorts. (Give me a tiny break? I have 8 AMs everyday!) I really think that I will use this no-heat curl method more often. :)
By the way, I was awake by 7 AM and out the door (dressed, makeup, hair, and coffee) by 7:30.
Time saver extraordinaire.
Have you tried a no-heat curling method before?

Ahhh. I need to try this! I have 7:30 classes :( Sucks trying to look polished for them. I'm feeling your pain!
ReplyDeleteHaha loved the video...I will definitely be trying this though because I have never been able to successfully curl my hair, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMy hair never holds curl, either! I definitely need to try this.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I NEED to try this! I love curling my hair, but I hate all the heat. Definitely trying soon!
ReplyDeleteso awesome, but how do you do it? You put the hair under the headband?
ReplyDeletei totally want to try this!! my hair never holds a curl either, it is so darn thin :) thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to try this ASAP! Usually it takes around an hour and a half to curl my hair using a spiral iron (eek!).
ReplyDeleteNow, if only I had one of those headbands.
Time to go shopping :)
Where did you get that fab dress in the first picture (Exhibit A)?!
ReplyDelete@Emily - :) It is my roommate's dress! She got it in Milwaukee at a boutique close to her old school.
