In the morning when I took it out... Ta da!! Beautiful curls!
Not exactly what I expected. Anyone else ever try something that failed miserably?

Epic fail :(
If you have a Pinterest, I'm sure you've seen the pin that says, "Beautiful curls with a sock!" Or something to that effect. Seems awesome to me! So, I decided to give it a shot! After I took a shower I blow dried my hair so that it was "slightly damp" just like the tutorial says. I got my sock and started twisting my hair into the bun.
In the morning when I took it out... Ta da!! Beautiful curls!
So I run my fingers through the tangles and go get dressed. I'm thinking... This is awesome! That was so easy I could do that every night! When I come back to the mirror about ten minutes later... To my horror, this is what I see...
What in the world happened to my curls?! They disappeared within 10 minutes! Needless to say, this is how I ended up wearing my hair for the day...

It looks--to me--that you have long but fine hair. Curls don't hold well in fine hair. I would have taken the sock out and immediately used hair spray on my curls.
ReplyDeleteI did this when my hair was long, and I put the socks in my hair when my hair was more than damp. It was pretty wet. The curls came out tightly and they stayed the entire day.
You are completely right Essie! My hair does not hold curls very well. There are a few things like a wand, my straightener, or sponge rollers that always do the trick. I did immediately spray my hair with Freeze It when I took the sock out. But still... Next time I'll try like you said and leave my hair more wet than dry. Thanks for the tip!
DeleteI agree with Essie! Those are perfect tips. I've also heard of blow drying on the lowest setting for about 2-3 minutes before taking out the sock. I've also heard girls say they spray the curls before letting the sock loose, too!
DeleteYES! I've failed miserable with a couple of things--mainly PINTEREST hairstyles. ARGH!\\
