Curly hair? No problem!

If you are like me and want to change your hair up a little bit sometimes (over the holidays, for special occasions, etc...) without damaging your hair with a straight iron, look no further!  I used to use a hot curling iron to curl my hair (like most girls) but I was tired of getting split ends faster and having damaged hair.  I don't know about you, but I wish I still had the hair I had when I was four!  Anyways, the way that I get uber-curly hair minus the iron is with rollers.  

Yes, you read correctly.  And yes, they may look silly.  And yes, they can be a pain.  But yes, they do make your hair super, duper curly.  Plus-- there's no damaging effects.  It's what all the cool cats are doing nowadays.  Here's what I did to achieve beautiful hair this morning...


Last night-- I showered.  I waited until my hair was no longer sopping wet.  When my hair was slightly damp I had Grandma put them in (1" rollers from Wally World).  **When putting in rollers, make sure the roller on the very top of your head is not to one side.  You don't want the rollers to be parted at all!!!**  


This morning-- I took the rollers out.  I usually take them out starting at the bottom and ending at the top.  That way you won't be pushing all the curls around trying to undo the rollers at the bottom.

 I know, I look like Shirley Temple and the Cowardly Lion from Wizard of Oz!  Haha!

 Next Step-- Brush through your curls.  Not a whole lot!  Just the ends.  If you want to, you can leave it like this.  To me it looks kind of 20's.  I think it's pretty for a nice occasion.  **If you have any amount of bangs then you can do what I did here.  Just push the top curl to the side or behind your ear.

Last Step-- Pull it back in a ponytail.  It will be bumpy, but that's the look I personally like.  It's a great holiday look, or if you're just going out shopping!  **NO HAIRSPRAY IS NEEDED!  When you use the rollers, the curl stays in all day and into the next!!!




Also, a big thank you to Jiye from pearls and green tea blog!  I won her Twisted Natural Rope Bracelet contest!
