No heat curls. But with heat.

So I tried the "no heat curls" thing last night. And I didn't know how I felt about it until I walked into work this morning and was immediately jumped by my entire office exclaiming how gorgeous it looked. {Not me... just my hair.}

So, I guess I like it now? I don't know... ask me again after the rubber band mark on my forehead finally goes away.

Okay, so let me explain how this works. If you'd like an in-depth explanation {and have a lot of free time on your hands} then you can watch this 13-minute tutorial.

Or? You can just take the 45 seconds it requires to scroll through these pictures.

I thought so.

First, you have to shower. I know, I know.
You can use product in your hair, or you can just blow dry it... completely up to you and how your hair holds curl. Here's what I used...
Yes, I have a slight Bumble & Bumble addiction.

After your hair is dry {don't be jealous of my fro}...
...then it's time for the elastic hair band.
HOTTTTT.

Next, you simply take a strand of your hair, and wrap it around the band and pull it through the other side. You will continue to do this all the way around.
{Curls in the front, party in the back, eh?}

Okay, so the first time I did this, I either didn't pull my strands through tight enough, or my hair is a complete pain in the ass {I think it's the latter} so I had to pull it out and start over.But? Look how fast it curled it. 10 minutes. And you can already see the hair band mark on my forehead {yes, after 10 minutes. I'm telling ya... it still hurts.}

Anyway, once your hair is finally all through, it looks something like this...
...which Bob thinks is a cross between an 80's lady, and a Greek goddess {though he threw in the Greek goddess thing at the last second. Thanks honey.}
Sweet. So, yeah... you sleep like that. All night. And if you're trying to keep your husband away, then try this. It will work.

When you wake up in the morning, you just take out the hair band and viola... curls.

BUT... not all of my pieces curled. Especially towards the side/back...
...so my "no heat curls"? Well, they ended up needing some heat.
Ahhh, much better.
I decided to clip it back a little just to keep it out of my face. Here's what it looks like when I'm actually presentable {and not posting pictures of myself in my pj's with no make-up.}

Curlzzzzz.
So yeah. Questions? Comments? It was fairly easy to do, and so far every single person that I've come in contact with today has said something to me, so I guess it looks nice?

I'm just trying to decide if this hair band scar on my forehead is worth it.

Guys?? We're #6!!
SIX!?! OMG!
THANK YOU. xoxo
