No Heat Curls Ya'll!!

There has been several tutorials and videos floating around blogs and Pinterest on how to create heat-free curls. I was very intrigued, they all seemed super easy, and seemed to work very well so I've been wanting to try them out for a while. But I wanted a guinea pig first.

Thank God I'm the mama to girls. Right? I don't see Joshua appreciating pretty curls on his head...

For Hailey's birthday she had her hair cut and styled and asked for curls. She looked adorable and loved them and begged me curl her hair ALL the time from then on. The problem is my curling iron sucks so I was just never very good at recreating the curls she loved so much. Last night she asked me to braid her hair before bed immediately prompting a light bulb moment and I remembered then the tutorials and videos I have seen. I told her my idea and my little guinea pig and I got to work!

I followed this tutorial:


Hailye's hair actually looked REALLY cute up like that, but she would NOT let me take a pic. She went to bed, and when we woke up I pulled the hairband out, and BAM. CURLS!

Beautiful curls!!

{Early morning, sleepy-eyed Hailey.}

They were a bit messy, but looked {I thought} awesome. I sprayed a little sprunch spray on them to get the hold to last, and sent her off to school.

While fiddling around the house aimlessly, I came across the hairband we had used later in the morning and played around with it, eventually ending up putting my hair up in the same way, hoping to create something, anything, and really hoping for curls. I figured, I could wear it like that until dinner and see if it worked.

The look? It was the opposite of hotness:

 

{Not sexy, even a little bit.}

After about an hour, I was already annoyed. The band was across my fiveforehead, and little hairs were tickling my neck and I was afraid to bump my head or touch it to anything and it was just...annoying, so I pulled the headband out. I didn't expect to see very much, if any, change to my hair, and was shocked to see curls! After only an HOUR!

{You can totally see a line from the headband on my fiveforehead.}

Curls! Beautiful curls! ON ME no less! My super mega fine and straight hair curled in just an hour. I was instantly and irrevocably in love with my curls. "I will do this every waking day for the rest of my LIFE!" I vowed to myself. But only, not really though, because I'm sure it would get old. But this is most def my new go-to for any event that's fancy enough for non-jean wearing. And maybe even fun casual events too. I'm not going to do my hair for the homemaking stuff though. That's dumb. Because it makes me want to wear makeup and heels and I don't want to clean in makeup, heels, and curls.

Annnnnyway. I LOVE THE NO HEAT CURLS and was seriously shocked and amazed at how AWESOME the tutorial worked!!! Seriously, anyone with long enough hair needs to try it. Guys too. Just because. {Hey duded rocked perms and curls in the 70's.}

♪ I feel pretty! Oh so pretty! I feel pretty and witty and.....okay I'm done.♫

CURL ON!
