From Rags to Rich...Curls

I know I don't normally post stuff like this, but while obsessively looking at browsing Pinterest  I came across a "pin" of something my Mom used to do for my sisters and I when we were little before things like birthdays, holidays, and gymnastics competitions.  It was a way of curling your hair without using any heat.  I decided that I needed to try doing this again.  You take a dishcloth or towel and cut it up into long thin strips.

Then, you wash your hair, and when your hair is about 85% dry, you take a strip of towel and a bit of hair and wrap your hair around the towel like you would on a curling iron.  Then tie the strip of towel in a knot to hold it in place.  You end up looking something like this.  And your husband will definitely make fun of you.
Please excuse the no make up, sunburnt face, sunglasses tan look. -TIG
You leave it in for a long time, preferably over night, but I suppose if you did it in the morning and left it in all day it would work for an evening out too.  When you wake up in the morning, you just untie and unwrap the curls. And you should end up with something like this.


Yup, definitely works!  I think next time I try it, I will do thicker pieces of hair so that I end up with bigger, looser curls instead of tight, super curly ones.
