If you urgently need to have your hair done for a special function but do not have a curling iron or tongs at home, here is a simple and easy method for you......
A Facebook friend once posted a video on how to curl your hair without using a curling iron. I found it interesting and would like to share it here in my blog.
What you really need is a pair of lady pantyhose or called tights in UK and a few countries (clean pair, of course) and a hair dryer.
- Brush your hair thoroughly.
- Apply heat protection spray on your hair (optional)
- Divide your hair into two sections (right and left).
- Gather one leg of the pantyhose to the toe. Hold the waist of the pantyhose and gently bunch the leg so the inside of the toe is exposed. The point is to create an easy pathway for your hair.
- Starting from either side of your hair, pull the hair into the leg of the pantyhose.
- Wrap the waist of the pantyhose on your head (I know it looks weird and ugly but it's ok for the time being)
- If you are starting with the right side, twist your hair in the leg of the pantyhose clockwise, creating a rope-like piece. Then wrap it onto itself to create a knot like spiral. Tie a quick release knot.
- Repeat for the left side but this time twist your hair anti-clockwise.
- Blow the knots with a hair dryer, 5 minutes on each side (you may adjust the blowing time accordingly).
- After the hair is cool, undo the knots and take away the pantyhose. Shake out the curls.
- Ta-da........Look at the beautiful curl! So easy.......
- Lightly spray hairspray to make sure your curl holds. Do not over spray or else this will weigh your curl down.
Note: The curl will start from the position where you tie the knot. So if you position the knot higher, then you will get a longer curl.
