Materials Needed

Steps to Achieve Curly Hair

Step 1: Preparation

  • Wash hair: You can shower or wash hair in the sink.
  • Conditioner: Important to make hair soft and malleable.

Step 2: Dry Hair

  • Towel dry hair until it’s 50% dry, still damp enough to stick together.

Step 3: Segment Hair

  • Use a comb to separate hair into 1-inch segments at the base.
  • Pull segments straight, thinner at the tip.

Step 4: Twist Hair

  • Twist each segment from base to tip.
  • Ensure entire strand is twisted and folds over itself at a 90-degree angle.
  • This helps in securing with rubber bands.

Step 5: Secure Hair

  • Wrap rubber band around the hair bundle, twist, and secure tightly.
  • Repeat until all desired hair is bundled.

Optional: Timing

  • Sleep with bundles overnight for best results.
  • Ensure hair is fully dry by morning.

Step 6: Unwrap and Style

  • In the morning, unwrap bundles and remove rubber bands.
  • Finger rake through hair to separate and fluff curls.
