This seems to be a forgotten art :) It's easy, cost effective, isn't uncomfortable to sleep in and it works! I have even found a way to make it look beautiful without the frizzies! Try these easy steps to get adorable results. All you need are scraps from an old shirt or fabric and your ready to go.
Step 1: Lightly mist hair so it is damp (not wet)
Step 2: Take a section of hair and roll hair around fabric strip.
Step 3: Roll hair to scalp and double knot to secure.
Step 4: Continue in this manner until all hair is wrapped and lightly mist hair again.
Try it and email me pix anoriginalbymary(at)pacbell(dot)net!!! I wanna see :)
I used to do this when I was a girl. I need to try this with my daughter. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeletei remember doing this as well and it was so fun! i don't have any daughters (my boys would never go for it) so i think i will try it again on me!
ReplyDeleteI remember my mom rag rolling our hair every evening before Easter Sunday as well as for the first day of school :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for my daughter to try this, she is so into new ways of doing her hair. Love the Blog.
ReplyDeleteI just recently discovered this technique and it's great. I ripped up a stained magenta sweater to do it and I quite like the look of them in too. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletei totally remember using those as a little girl!!! of course... my hair never looked as pretty as hers when i took them out in the morning!! whew! i looked more like Medusa!
ReplyDeleteThe best part about this way... is that it's so much better for your hair. It's the perfect way to still style your hair while trying to grow it out long. i'm a HUGE fan of hair care, since I have long hair. Great post! Jenni
ReplyDeleteI set my hair that way in the 1960's. Awesome long lasting curls and you could actually sleep with the "curlers" in your hair. Lucy
