I'm also a retired hair stylist of over 30 years and totally agree! I've been using this method on my long, grey hair for over 2 years now and love it! I only wish I had known about it sooner, so I could have recommended it to clients.
Thank you so much for showing every single step of the wrapping process...and in real time. It was so easy to follow. I get very frustrated with so many tutorials that show you 5 Seconds of the start of the technique and then either speed it up to 10 times the normal speed so you can't keep track of what the heck they're doing or they obscure what they're doing so you can't really see the details of how they're moving their hands with the hair, or they just show you one wrap and then show you the end portion and cut out everything you actually needed to see to be able to follow and thus do the tutorial yourself. So you are a masterful star of teaching in my book! ❤😊🌠
Oh I so agree...I love this tutorial. Saw what I thought was what she's showing. But they only showed the pulling of wrap to reveal the curl. So I appreciate this...thank you
I switched to a silky scarf and for me it works better than the fleece robe belt. There is less friz and the curls are tighter which works good for me since I have long hair. Also I hold the ends with small octopus clips to keep them nice with no dents.
@Professor Mason they're like the claw clips that everyone is wearing now except the octopus clips have curved prongs that allow for a stronger grip in the hair.
IVE NEEDED THIS FOREVERRR. I’m a side sleeper and the original way is so uncomfortable for me and falls out sometimes. Can’t wait to try this ❤️ thank you
Love this! My Nana taught me to do this when I was a lass! She taught me using a silk dressing gown tie. We always saved our dressing gown ties when replacing one. Brilliant with the fuzzy tie, especially with wet/damp hair!
Toootally off topic, but having binge watching the Outlander on Netflix just now, I have just read your comment like a full blown Highlander of an 18th century clan, with a Gaelic accent and everything 😂❤❤ I'm from Croatia btw 😅 Sorry for for bothering you and have a bonnie day! 😃❤
I have no words for this tutorial. Game changer for me. Thank you so much. I was good with the original technique too but this one is much more comfortable to sleep and the curls are much more wild ❤
So glad that you videotaped this technique. I have used this technique for years using strips of a thick bath towel, I have been working with hair and wigs for Opera , Ballet, Theatre and film for over 50 years. When you are working with Synthetic hair make sure you steam the tangled hair straight and after braiding wet the braid and steam to create the wave pattern. you can also make several pony tails and use one thick strip of towel with 2 pieces of hair to create the braid. i teach salon hairstylist who want to transition into Theatre and film the fundamentals of creating vintage looks and working with wigs and the protocols for both Theatre and Film. Thanks for sharing. 🙏❤️🇨🇦
i've been doing a variation of the heatless curls for years. nice little up-do by day, and baffles everyone how great it looks when i let it down later. i must say, though, the zig zag parting is genius for both hiding the parting and adding volume. bravo!
@Juanis I part, and then start a piece from temple fastened with a bobby pin on either side. Using the starting piece, I wrap piece by piece down to the bottom. Continue wrap/twist until the end of hair. For styling, I cross the two pieces over and fasten with a small claw clip. Then continue wrapping each piece around the clip (opening the clip each time to secure new piece) until the end. It sits low on back of head. I've also twisted them into low buns, securing each with a clip. Biggest difference is I wrap the hair on itself, as opposed to around a piece of fabric. I hope this helps!
I'd love to see this done. I have waist lengt hair and had almost 4 inches cut for a fresh holiday look, but always grow it back to butt length basically through summer. I don't use heat often for hair health and do just as you mentioned, wear it up and let it down but mine has lose waves. It's baby fine hair and so far my only heatless tighter curls are when I braid it damp and dry. h@@PaechesLenore
I've worn the rope braid (your first method) now for a while and get daily compliments. I love the loose curls, all the volume and the fact that you don't need any product and I sleep on my back so it works ok but I don't like the way you can see the open parting at the back, so this new upside down zig zag method will be great, thank you so much!
I've been doing a simpler headband curl technique for years and I was pretty happy with the results. But I always like tweaking it and trying new things. I tried this for the first time and when I was taking my hair down, I was like, oh no, I failed. But then a little brush and tweaking and I now have the modern shag texture of my dreams! I've never been able to get my hair like this before. I love it! And it really was so much more comfortable to sleep on than my typical headband. Thank you so much! My hair is short and really layered so I slept with it wrapped up in a net scarf so that it wouldn't fall out.
Ahh, amazing!!!!! I’m so pleased to hear this Melissa, even better when you think it’s failed then turns out to be the best thing ever 🤗 thanks for letting me know.
Thank you for proving you don't need to buy expensive gimmicky curler sets to achieve this look - a dressing gown tie is probably something that everyone has in their home - I hope to try this myself this weekend :)
Ive been doing your original version for like 2 years now, and I just tried this new method! I have different hair type and weird shaped head/face so I looked ridiculous, lol, and thought its not gonna work, but it did!! The end result was AMAZING!! thankyou SO much!!
IF YOU HAVE THIN HAIR THIS IS THE HEATLESS CURL METHOD FOR YOU! I’ve never been able to get heatless curls to work, which has caused years of heat damage. This, however, made my curls absolutely beautiful and lasted all day. 10/10 would recommend❤️
Did you guys use any styling agents? Like texturing spray? My mom wants her hair curled and has thin hair but I worry with timing for my sister's wedding
I can't look in a mirror & do mine I actually close my eyes and think about what I'm doing it's like French braids without a middle. I recommend practicing on smaller parts of your hair or even a dolls hair . Don't give up! Or try on someone else you'll get it
The zig zag technique is GENIUS!! My biggest problem with heartless curls/ braids has always been the huge split in the back of my head I can’t stand it! This completely fixed that problem! I usually do a side part so I start with a 2 inch straight line at my 0:02 side part and then lead zig zag toward the crown of my head and continue it straight down the back. It worked perfectly!
Glad you found the technique helpful! I’ve always used a zigzag technique to avoid that super obvious parting whenever I do a heatless style, or even when I wear my hair in buns or bunches 🤩
Holy moly, I just found this video. I can't WAIT to try this! I'm a side sleeper and I hate sleeping in heatless curl rollers. I've tried them all. I love to have curled hair for special occasions but I hate not getting good sleep the night before! This is such a huge game changer. Thank you so much! ❤❤❤
I love that you describe your hair as medium thickness. Mine is about a twentieth of yours! Subscribing anyway because you describe really well. Even though I haven’t enough hair to follow this. I’ve enough for one curl ! Well done on the lovely curls.
I'm dropping this into my Shonagh file today! I do sleep on my side so it'll be perfect for me when my hair gets fully restored to length, as I decided to regrow it at the start of winter and it's just at the top of my bra now. You've made me want it back with your videos, and, even though I'm 72 now, my hair is still its original color, thank you pheomelanin‼❤💛 And thank you, Shonagh, for being my queen of dexterity and coiffeuse extraordinaire!✨👑⭐
@@MsErika1226 Redheads have a genetic variant of the MC1R gene that causes their melanocytes to primarily produce pheomelanin, usually resulting in graying very late in life. I like to think it's to make up for all the sunburns I had as a kid.✌
I have been searching for inspiration for heatless curls on my already curly hair. So glad I was recommended this video! Modifying to have 2 rows for more curls and using a silk scarf. My hair is set for tonight! Can already tell sleep will be wonderful and Super excited to see the results tomorrow!! Thank you for this!
I can’t wait to try this! The robe curls with alternating 360 wraps got me the best results ever, but I am a sensitive side sleeper, so I rarely do it. (Basically only when my schedule lets me I do it in the morning and wear it all day at home.) My go-to is a padded tool that makes a topknot (sort of like a satin donut bun form WTH an integrated scrunchie) but you can’t alternate directions and it sits on top of the head, so you get long sections on top that can end up flat or wonky, and I usually end up needing to do touch-ups with a heat tool. That is maybe 70% as good as proper robe curls, but doesn’t interfere with my sleep. This looks like it will take some practice, but if I can sleep in it, I will be so excited.
This is BRILLIANT. I have medium length fine/ thin hair so there will be a learning curve to this , whether you’re a beauty enthusiast and MUA like myself or not. This may be a great option for me since holding my arms UP to do stuff for too long is uncomfortable for me. So yeah, I need to figure out the best way to do this on my medium shag-like cut but this technique is SMART! Well done!’
That is a both beautiful and youthful looking hairstyle. I really like how it helps women avoid wearing those extremely uncomfortable flexi-rods to bed that hurt while we sleep. This definitely looks like a hairstyle someone could wear daily and easily sleep on nightly. What a fascinating new method! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I’m currently sat with my hair like this, it’s such an easier and more stable way to do heatless curls, it’s amazing! My hair isn’t as long as yours and has some layers so it can feel loose normally and is so uncomfortable to sleep on! Can’t wait to see my hair in the morning 👍
@@ShonaghScott loved it! My hair was super curly this morning and it only fell out slightly. I use L’Oréal hyaluronic acid spray to wet it slightly and I slept much better👍
This is brilliant. I tried the normal technique a couple times but just could not sleep with it. This technique will be a challenge for me but I'm going to give it a try. I need the over-night as a couple hours just isn't enough for my heavy hair. Thanks for the excellent video and audio instructions. You did an amazing job demonstrating this. ❣️
Your first tutorial gave me lovely waves for Valentine's & my Birthday, but I didn't sleep very well! Thank you so much for reverse-engineering this!!!
I use your original method nightly but yes the parting at the back can be annoying so I usually have to disguise it by pulling some curls back in a central clip. The zigzag is a really good idea. Thank you! X
I'm trying this tonight, and we call them dressing gowns in Australia :) I have exactly the same one as you same colour even, a staple during covid !!!
I use my son’s robe all the time bc it’s shorter and just the right size to wrap back around my head. I prefer the robe over the other products with tubes or larger sizes bc they don’t curl as well nor last as long. Glad to see another smart lady with the same ideas. Your Hair is Gorgeous
This technique is amazing. Its perfect especially for my little girl because I'm scared of putting heat on her. She has no problems at all sleeping with it and the results are everything. Thank you so much for this
OOO!!! So excited to try this one. I've been using your other technique for years and every time I saw someone on tiktok doing robe curls, I recommended your video and your wrapping method because it works so much better!!
Such a fantastic tutorial, thank you for sharing! Excellent technique, great explanation, gorgeous hair! 🤩🤩🤩 I really loved how your hair colour and skintone just perfectly matched before toning, but even after toning it looks so nice.
Gorgeous! I love both looks. It's so much better than using a curling iron. I've been using this method for over 2 years and am amazed every time I remove it!!
I like how your tutorial is easy to follow. I appreciate you showing the technique as well as talking thru it and explaining the steps. I just found your channel. ❤
Love this look so much! Brilliant idea. I have been doing the original way for awhile now. I get so many compliments and get asked how I did it all the time. I cannot wait to try this reverse way. Thanks Shonagh.
I feel like a freaking genius - few weeks ago I tried it this way and thought how I came up with something no one thought off. Great minds think alike 😁😁 It’s an awesome technic and your video is amazing!
I can't wait to try this! I wrapped my last night w/ two socks the old way. I could NOT sleep. It was too tight. It hurt and then I got DIZZY when I rolled over - several times! I came to work swearing off this technique. Until YOU! Ready to try it again - thank you!!! -- Sheri
@@ShonaghScott I had to come back to this comment and just tell you that I have NEVER EVER EVER tried a heatless curls method that has worked this well. The results I got from this last night were UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I have tried every heatless curl method out there I’m pretty sure and none of them have given me this awesome of a curl pattern and this VOLUME! Just wanted to thank you again!! My hair says thank you also 🥰 the only way I’ve ever been able to achieve curls like this is with a curling iron. I love getting the same effect with no heat! Thank you!! ❤️
@@Rebecca-gg3emahh, YAY! I’m so happy you came back to tell me this, Rebecca!!! It’s really a game-changer for volume and curl WITHOUT heat! And much more comfy to sleep on. I’m so happy you love the results 😍🫶🏼
Thank you, thank you thank you I’m a side sleeper and I gave up because it hurts so bad I never got a good nights rest. I’ll look gorgeous but I was always in a bad mood. This will help tremendously.❤
I CANNOT believe how good this technique is!! Have been searching for something like this for a year now! Could you please please share how to do the same reverse technique in short layered cut hair? It would be lifesaver!!
Thank you for this vid. My hair is all one length down to middle of the rear. Thick. I'm 73 years. My hair is natural color, grey and brown. I've been just letting it go natural with the natural curl. But its tiny zig zag waves. I'm going to try this method to smooth it. Probably need to have more than 2. Thanks again. You hair is beautiful.
great tutorial! thank you! I tried it last night for the first time ever - with a scarf. It worked. I liked the curls and the sleep was fine too. However, as I knew and you said, because I used it on dry hair, the result was gone in a couple of hours. I just wanted to see how it works. Next time, I can do it with damp hair. Thanks again
Oh yay! I’m pleased you tried it. Probably a nice entry to it as intense curls can also put people off so you see how it goes by adjusting the dampness to suit your liking!
I love the idea of starting from the back because an issue i have with my naturally wavy hair is that the further i go toward the back the looser/farther things are from the part... which is problematic because my natural pattern doesn't get curled and things just look... bad. Like halfway down my head it's my natural pattern then suddenly it's the robe waves and they dont at all match. It doesnt look sleek at all and it's so irritating that i dont even bother with the robe curls. I hope this technique, with it being so close to the top of the head and starting from the back, will solve that problem.
I love the original version so gona try this one! I wrap a silk scarf over to sleep in to keep the fly aways down, and during the day I have a soft beanie that i put over so I can take it out for going out at night.
I'm new here but have to say thank you so much for showing the whole process. Other's I've seen and tried didn't work out at all. Will try this tmw night and let y'all know how it comes out ☺️
Girl I have never been able to sleep comfortably at night curling my hair and I slept like a baby with this method! ❤❤ still have to spot dry because I have long thick hair, but totally worth it!
After trying the other method and it not working and not being able to sleep with it, I came across your video. What a great detailed tutorial (thank you) and it worked fantastically. My hair had dried out on the ends from using heat and now I can still have curls - and sleep! Thank you. 😀
I love this method, and I so appreciate you showing us how to do both sides. I’ve seen plenty of videos about this before but it does help to see two sides, one after the other. Now all I need is a robe tie. I don’t have one and no one I know has one to spare so I’ll have to figure that out. Anyways, thanks for sharing your technique. I’m going to try it ASAP.
If you can find a child’s bathrobe cheap that’s a great way to get your hands on one! It’s the soft terry material that I find works the best, rather than the harder material that some adult bathrobes come with. So pleased you found this method and seeing both sides helpful! Let me know how you get on trying it.
@@ShonaghScott Thank you for that great suggestion. I can’t believe that a year has gone by and I haven’t tried your method yet! It was because I didn’t have a robe tie and then my life just moved on. 😄 Anyways, thanks for your response. I’m getting on the job now. 👍🏼💪🏼
I am so glad now that I didn't waste money on that tubular thing from eBay! 😍😍😍 Using a fabric belt is SO genius! Except for the part where my nearly-knee-length hair is too long for one, BUT I CAN SEW TWO TOGETHER!!! 😁😁😁
Thanks so much for this method🤗 for those of us who sleep on our sides ,this will be much more comfortable!! I tried the previous method , but sleeping with it was horrible , ,even though i loved the curls 😪
Same, loved the other method and managed to sleep on it for the first year because I just loved the result, then I started to hate it 🤣 a lacklustre sleep for good curls wasn’t cutting it for me anymore. This is great!
I’m awful with a curling iron and it never comes out the way I want it to plus I worry about heat damage. I can’t wait to try this method! Thank you for the very clear explanation!
Just tried this on my 18 YO daughter last night. She has long blonde, super thick and kind of course hair. I used the robe tie from a Barefoot Dreams robe, so the material isn’t quite the velvety type you showed, but it worked amazing. I doubled the robe tie the entire way and she has the most perfect loose curls.❣️❣️❣️
Thanks Shonagh, this looks beautiful. I've got the same length hair as you & normally when I curl my hair with curling tongs, after a couple of hours, my hair is as straight. I shall definitely give this a go 😉♥️ 🇬🇧 Xx
it must be damp hair and/or some spray/foam that will hold the hair style. if i do it on dry hair, the results are gone quickly. if i don't use some hair styling products, the results are gone quickly.
I'm really excited to try this! I've really loved the way my hair curls with the robe-tie method (it's honestly the only way I've been able to get my hair to curl nicely without heat). But, the other day, I was just thinking to myself about how I wish it did a better job curling my hair on the back of my head. My hair isn't super long to begin with so I've hard time incorporating that part of my hair until the very end and then I end up with really beautiful curls in the front but this weird U shape in the back with hardly anything. Plus I've noticed that the place where I part my hair is really visible so I was wondering how to fix that. This couldn't have come at a better time! I'll see if I can try it tonight! :)
I was actually searching for the unicorn method that’s been around lately, but I think I’m going to try this instead!! I have a “robe tie” I made myself with silk, so it’s a silk cylinder that I stuffed with soft foam. I wasn’t sure what I would use for the unicorn method and my silk curler will work perfectly for this method. This is so brilliant. I stopped doing the normal method because I was getting breakage on the sides from sleeping on the wrapped hair. Edit: I just went and watched a unicorn method tutorial, and while it seems like an ok method it suffers from the “curls all going to same way” problem. The reverse method seems superior! Here I go to try it lol. My hair is so coarse and sticky it’s so hard to do this kind of stuff haha
I love this ! Thank you for such a clear , no fuss, no over talking video . This is the ONLY tutorial i go to do this . I've got a wedding coming up in 2 weeks so i'm practising now, tonight is my 3rd attempt ! Can you suggest a soft hair spray or something to hold the curls for the day ? i don't know anything about hairsprays, i just know i don't want the heavy super strong Bristows i used to use in the 80's for my then back brushed fluffy , spiky hair ! lol !
You are so welcome! Have you tried a lightweight mousse on the hair before wrapping? This is usually a great technique for added hold. Or, you could try L’Oréal Pli, it’s a thermal modelling spray, spritz it onto the hair before wrapping then just add a little heat from the hair dryer to activate the spray. I know it seems counterintuitive to add heat to a heatless look but it’s not hot like a tong, just enough to warm up the product within the hair. It’s hold the curls MUCH better than hairspray and without the crunch.
Have been thinking about a more comfortable method for heatless curls. Like you say you want a good night’s sleep but want pretty hair too! I’ve stopped blow drying completely after watching your robe tie tutorial way back. So relaxing and comforting to listen to you. Looking forward to trying this method. This will take me some practice though so I shouldn’t do it too close to bed when I’m tired. Lol.
Loved this! I’ve actually done the original method after seeing your video a few times and once on my daughter, it’s sooooo fun and satisfying unwrapping the hair! I love the “zigzag” look I love doing it so I cannot WAIT to try this 😁
Due to life being crazy I had to figure out how to sleep with my damp hair. I didn't have anything like a robe belt, so I hit up the fabric stash and made one! My hair turned out incredible! Threw it into a quick bun and I look like I spent hours on my hair
Just did this and it was so confortable! I have hair down to my waist so it’s bulky. The bangs and top didn’t really curl so I’ll need to try tying it tighter. What I liked about the other method was being able to control the front of my hair away from my face which is harder with this one
Love this! I use your tutorial at the moment for my curls but sleeping in them can be a bit uncomfortable! Will try and use this one tonight! Thank you ❤️
This is fantastic. Great instructional video. Thank you! Was wondering, if you had any thoughts on super clean hair or two day clean hair type thing. My hair is 35 inches long and super thick. I wash it twice a week so would be good to know what would be best for keeping the curl in after. Thank you again. Cheers from BC Canada 🇨🇦
Gorgeous! As a great-grandparent and retired hairstylist, this brings back memories of childhood Rag Curls, from the 19th and early 20th century. Obviously, these curls are a lot softer due to the thicker robe tie and more thoughtful placement. Rag Curls tended to be randomly placed on the scalp, completely ignoring any idea of comfort or outcome. What stands out to me, though, is your technique of alternate wrapping. It's brilliant! This is my first time watching your channel, so I haven't seen what else you offer, but I must say that I also like how you developed a way to add volume at the root, on the crown. Again...brilliant! I have short hair now in my old age, but I have been growing out the hair at the crown to add length and try some new styles. My hair is completely white now, so I have to be careful not to apply too much heat, or the hair becomes singed and turns yellow. I've been searching for a no-heat method to add a bit of curl and some volume, and I think I've found it here. Well, I'm off to subscribe and find me a soft tie to try out your method. Wish me luck, and thank you for sharing your technique.
This was so great to read. I remember my Mum doing rag curls on me as child and I agree, no comfort and the ends used to be quite scraggly 😅 This is my second video of this technique, the first still uses the same alternating wrapping technique but in the traditional manner of placing them down either of the head, much like Dutch braids. Still a gorgeous outcome, I just started to find that comfort of sleep Vs results wasn’t enough of a tipping point for me 🤣 so I came up with this method that was much more comfortable for side sleepers AND gave more root volume! Your white hair sounds glorious, my Nan has pepper grey hair and despises it. She longs for natural white hair so yes, very important for you to keep it white! I hope you enjoy trying this method, and perfecting it in your own manner to suit your shorter style.
Can't wait to give these a try. Fantastic tips and excellent tutorial! I really appreciate that you've taken the time to create a technique that is not only effective for great curls but realistic for sleeping. So many overnight curls ignore the fact that you will smash these curls into a pillow and blankets that are not the ideal silky smooth fabric for nice hair but static-y cotton cloth potentially with drool from either yourself or your bedmates (partner and/or kids lol). Overnight curls are meant for people who need a reliable method to look their best that can be integrated into a busy schedule. I prefer heat styling but I just don't have the time or patience anymore. Work plus kids plus college? Yeah... That's a recipe for buns and sad ponytails. But this? I think I can do this. Gonna try it with my silk scarves cuz my fine ass hair will frizz if I look at it wrong. Can't wait to see how it goes! Thank you so much for tutorial! ❤️
This really isn't overnight hairstyle for everyone. You have to be at least a little experienced at braiding. I tried it tonight and it turned out looking great! I did it with long scarf. It was easier than other sleep-in hairstyles that I tried (and without the scarf). I like that it stays in place! I was looking for nice overnight curls hairstyle but also comfortable to sleep in and this is it! Thank you! Can't wait for the results in the morning
AS A RETIRED HAIR STYLIST OF OVER 30 YEARS , THIS IS BRILLIANT !!
Thanks so much!! Glad you love it!

Thanks for the positive feedback, Jenny! I’m so pleased you liked the tutorial, technique and teaching process 🤗
Oh I so agree...I love this tutorial. Saw what I thought was what she's showing. But they only showed the pulling of wrap to reveal the curl. So I appreciate this...thank you
These curls look so much better cause it's alternating and starting in the back. Wow! the volume. Gonna try this tonight!!
Enjoy! Let me know how it turns out 😊
I switched to a silky scarf and for me it works better than the fleece robe belt. There is less friz and the curls are tighter which works good for me since I have long hair. Also I hold the ends with small octopus clips to keep them nice with no dents.
I was just wondering if my silky robe tie would work! ❤
what are octopus clips please?
@Professor Mason they're like the claw clips that everyone is wearing now except the octopus clips have curved prongs that allow for a stronger grip in the hair.
Time to buy some scarves!!!
M mm mmm
IVE NEEDED THIS FOREVERRR. I’m a side sleeper and the original way is so uncomfortable for me and falls out sometimes. Can’t wait to try this ❤️ thank you
Have you tried this way since?? I’m a side sleeper and this is waaaay more comfortable.
Genius ❤
Love this! My Nana taught me to do this when I was a lass! She taught me using a silk dressing gown tie. We always saved our dressing gown ties when replacing one. Brilliant with the fuzzy tie, especially with wet/damp hair!
Toootally off topic, but having binge watching the Outlander on Netflix just now, I have just read your comment like a full blown Highlander of an 18th century clan, with a Gaelic accent and everything 😂❤❤
I'm from Croatia btw 😅

i've been doing a variation of the heatless curls for years. nice little up-do by day, and baffles everyone how great it looks when i let it down later. i must say, though, the zig zag parting is genius for both hiding the parting and adding volume. bravo!
How do you normally do it to make it look like an updo?
@Juanis I part, and then start a piece from temple fastened with a bobby pin on either side. Using the starting piece, I wrap piece by piece down to the bottom. Continue wrap/twist until the end of hair. For styling, I cross the two pieces over and fasten with a small claw clip. Then continue wrapping each piece around the clip (opening the clip each time to secure new piece) until the end. It sits low on back of head. I've also twisted them into low buns, securing each with a clip. Biggest difference is I wrap the hair on itself, as opposed to around a piece of fabric. I hope this helps!
I'd love to see this done. I have waist lengt hair and had almost 4 inches cut for a fresh holiday look, but always grow it back to butt length basically through summer. I don't use heat often for hair health and do just as you mentioned, wear it up and let it down but mine has lose waves. It's baby fine hair and so far my only heatless tighter curls are when I braid it damp and dry. h@@PaechesLenore
I've worn the rope braid (your first method) now for a while and get daily compliments. I love the loose curls, all the volume and the fact that you don't need any product and I sleep on my back so it works ok but I don't like the way you can see the open parting at the back, so this new upside down zig zag method will be great, thank you so much!
I've been doing a simpler headband curl technique for years and I was pretty happy with the results. But I always like tweaking it and trying new things. I tried this for the first time and when I was taking my hair down, I was like, oh no, I failed. But then a little brush and tweaking and I now have the modern shag texture of my dreams! I've never been able to get my hair like this before. I love it! And it really was so much more comfortable to sleep on than my typical headband. Thank you so much! My hair is short and really layered so I slept with it wrapped up in a net scarf so that it wouldn't fall out.
Ahh, amazing!!!!! I’m so pleased to hear this Melissa, even better when you think it’s failed then turns out to be the best thing ever 🤗 thanks for letting me know.
Thank you for proving you don't need to buy expensive gimmicky curler sets to achieve this look - a dressing gown tie is probably something that everyone has in their home - I hope to try this myself this weekend :)
You are so welcome! Enjoy trying it out for yourself.
Ive been doing your original version for like 2 years now, and I just tried this new method! I have different hair type and weird shaped head/face so I looked ridiculous, lol, and thought its not gonna work, but it did!! The end result was AMAZING!! thankyou SO much!!
IF YOU HAVE THIN HAIR THIS IS THE HEATLESS CURL METHOD FOR YOU! I’ve never been able to get heatless curls to work, which has caused years of heat damage. This, however, made my curls absolutely beautiful and lasted all day. 10/10 would recommend❤️
I have thin hair and this works perfect for me too. Plus it holds, unlike when I use a curling iron.
Did you guys use any styling agents? Like texturing spray? My mom wants her hair curled and has thin hair but I worry with timing for my sister's wedding
@@emilycolbert2852 I use volumizing mousse
It looks so simple but i tried it AND I WANT TO CRY!!! I NEED MORE HANDS, HOW ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING THIS?!??!
Are you able to french braid easily?
I can't look in a mirror & do mine I actually close my eyes and think about what I'm doing it's like French braids without a middle. I recommend practicing on smaller parts of your hair or even a dolls hair . Don't give up! Or try on someone else you'll get it
I verbally say over, under, over under and that helps me to not get lost or lose which strand to grab
I can’t do it either I just did 2 big sections on each side we’ll see how it looks tomorrow
You must have curly hair? I always get super tired halfway through styling as have so much hair
The zig zag technique is GENIUS!! My biggest problem with heartless curls/ braids has always been the huge split in the back of my head I can’t stand it! This completely fixed that problem! I usually do a side part so I start with a 2 inch straight line at my 0:02 side part and then lead zig zag toward the crown of my head and continue it straight down the back. It worked perfectly!
Glad you found the technique helpful! I’ve always used a zigzag technique to avoid that super obvious parting whenever I do a heatless style, or even when I wear my hair in buns or bunches 🤩
Holy moly, I just found this video. I can't WAIT to try this! I'm a side sleeper and I hate sleeping in heatless curl rollers. I've tried them all. I love to have curled hair for special occasions but I hate not getting good sleep the night before! This is such a huge game changer. Thank you so much! ❤❤❤
I love that you describe your hair as medium thickness. Mine is about a twentieth of yours!
Subscribing anyway because you describe really well. Even though I haven’t enough hair to follow this. I’ve enough for one curl ! Well done on the lovely curls.
Great technique. Covering with a silk scarf or satin bonnet will reduce flyaways/breakage and also help to retain moisture.
Brilliant technique, I'm going to try this and then put a silk bonnet on top to try prevent frizz and it falling out when I sleep.
This technique is absolutely BRILLIANT for heatless curls. My gracious, your hair is gorgeous this way. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words! Glad you enjoyed this technique.
I'm dropping this into my Shonagh file today! I do sleep on my side so it'll be perfect for me when my hair gets fully restored to length, as I decided to regrow it at the start of winter and it's just at the top of my bra now. You've made me want it back with your videos, and, even though I'm 72 now, my hair is still its original color, thank you pheomelanin‼❤💛 And thank you, Shonagh, for being my queen of dexterity and coiffeuse extraordinaire!✨👑⭐
What is phomelanin?!?
@@MsErika1226 Redheads have a genetic variant of the MC1R gene that causes their melanocytes to primarily produce pheomelanin, usually resulting in graying very late in life. I like to think it's to make up for all the sunburns I had as a kid.✌
@@janetf23 okay :) I was hoping you were going to say that it was something I could eat to keep my color :) I hope you are having a good weekend :)
Ma'am.....I feel like you're an actual genius.
Ahh, thanks Elizabeth!!
This is my DREAM hair, it’s seriously so gorgeous!
Ahh, thank you Madeline!
I have been searching for inspiration for heatless curls on my already curly hair. So glad I was recommended this video! Modifying to have 2 rows for more curls and using a silk scarf. My hair is set for tonight! Can already tell sleep will be wonderful and Super excited to see the results tomorrow!! Thank you for this!
Thank you! Pleased to have helped. How did your hair turn out?
You are stunning! Beautiful! Thank you! Love to see longer hair done! I'm so excited!
I can’t wait to try this! The robe curls with alternating 360 wraps got me the best results ever, but I am a sensitive side sleeper, so I rarely do it. (Basically only when my schedule lets me I do it in the morning and wear it all day at home.) My go-to is a padded tool that makes a topknot (sort of like a satin donut bun form WTH an integrated scrunchie) but you can’t alternate directions and it sits on top of the head, so you get long sections on top that can end up flat or wonky, and I usually end up needing to do touch-ups with a heat tool. That is maybe 70% as good as proper robe curls, but doesn’t interfere with my sleep. This looks like it will take some practice, but if I can sleep in it, I will be so excited.
This is BRILLIANT. I have medium length fine/ thin hair so there will be a learning curve to this , whether you’re a beauty enthusiast and MUA like myself or not. This may be a great option for me since holding my arms UP to do stuff for too long is uncomfortable for me. So yeah, I need to figure out the best way to do this on my medium shag-like cut but this technique is SMART! Well done!’
That is a both beautiful and youthful looking hairstyle. I really like how it helps women avoid wearing those extremely uncomfortable flexi-rods to bed that hurt while we sleep. This definitely looks like a hairstyle someone could wear daily and easily sleep on nightly. What a fascinating new method! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I’m currently sat with my hair like this, it’s such an easier and more stable way to do heatless curls, it’s amazing! My hair isn’t as long as yours and has some layers so it can feel loose normally and is so uncomfortable to sleep on! Can’t wait to see my hair in the morning 👍
Amazing, update me on your results! I’m excited for you!!
@@ShonaghScott loved it! My hair was super curly this morning and it only fell out slightly. I use L’Oréal hyaluronic acid spray to wet it slightly and I slept much better👍
This is the first technique that works on me (simple to do, getting sleep, amazing result on fine, frizzy hair) - thank you! ❤❤
Glad you love it!! ☺️
This is brilliant. I tried the normal technique a couple times but just could not sleep with it. This technique will be a challenge for me but I'm going to give it a try. I need the over-night as a couple hours just isn't enough for my heavy hair. Thanks for the excellent video and audio instructions. You did an amazing job demonstrating this. ❣️
Your first tutorial gave me lovely waves for Valentine's & my Birthday, but I didn't sleep very well! Thank you so much for reverse-engineering this!!!
You are so welcome! I hope you enjoy the results of this one as much as the original!
I use your original method nightly but yes the parting at the back can be annoying so I usually have to disguise it by pulling some curls back in a central clip. The zigzag is a really good idea. Thank you! X
I'm trying this tonight, and we call them dressing gowns in Australia :) I have exactly the same one as you same colour even, a staple during covid !!!
We call them dressing gowns in the UK too! 😃 But my US viewers were unsure what it was so I just refer to it as a bathrobe for extra clarity.
Love love LOVE this technique! You can ACTUALLY sleep in this pain-free and the beautiful curls last til next wash day 👏 ❤
YAY! So pleased to hear you love the technique 😊🙌🏼
I use my son’s robe all the time bc it’s shorter and just the right size to wrap back around my head. I prefer the robe over the other products with tubes or larger sizes bc they don’t curl as well nor last as long. Glad to see another smart lady with the same ideas. Your Hair is Gorgeous
I completely agree with you! The bathrobe tie is the perfect material and holds like nothing else!
This technique is amazing. Its perfect especially for my little girl because I'm scared of putting heat on her. She has no problems at all sleeping with it and the results are everything. Thank you so much for this
OOO!!! So excited to try this one. I've been using your other technique for years and every time I saw someone on tiktok doing robe curls, I recommended your video and your wrapping method because it works so much better!!
Such a fantastic tutorial, thank you for sharing! Excellent technique, great explanation, gorgeous hair! 🤩🤩🤩 I really loved how your hair colour and skintone just perfectly matched before toning, but even after toning it looks so nice.
Thank you so much 🤗 I appreciate the kind words Shanita! 🫶🏼
Gorgeous! I love both looks. It's so much better than using a curling iron. I've been using this method for over 2 years and am amazed every time I remove it!!
I’ve been looking for the perfect method, and I think you just created it. Can’t wait to try.
Hope you like it! 🤗
I like how your tutorial is easy to follow. I appreciate you showing the technique as well as talking thru it and explaining the steps. I just found your channel. ❤
Glad it was helpful! And welcome to my channel, I hope you enjoy more of my content 😁🫶🏼
Love this look so much! Brilliant idea. I have been doing the original way for awhile now. I get so many compliments and get asked how I did it all the time. I cannot wait to try this reverse way. Thanks Shonagh.
I'm so glad! It’s definitely a game-changer. Enjoy trying this method!
I’m a hair stylist and I wish I’d made this video! Absolutely genius and it looks beautiful!👏🏻
Thanks, Hannah! It’s a game-changer for side sleepers!
I feel like a freaking genius - few weeks ago I tried it this way and thought how I came up with something no one thought off.
Great minds think alike 😁😁
It’s an awesome technic and your video is amazing!
Glad you’re enjoying this technique too! So handy isn’t it!
I can't wait to try this! I wrapped my last night w/ two socks the old way. I could NOT sleep. It was too tight. It hurt and then I got DIZZY when I rolled over - several times! I came to work swearing off this technique. Until YOU! Ready to try it again - thank you!!!
-- Sheri
I cannot get over how beautiful this is!!!!!! I am DEFINITELY trying this! Thank you!! 🥰🥰🥰
You’re welcome 😊
@@ShonaghScott I had to come back to this comment and just tell you that I have NEVER EVER EVER tried a heatless curls method that has worked this well. The results I got from this last night were UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I have tried every heatless curl method out there I’m pretty sure and none of them have given me this awesome of a curl pattern and this VOLUME! Just wanted to thank you again!! My hair says thank you also 🥰 the only way I’ve ever been able to achieve curls like this is with a curling iron. I love getting the same effect with no heat! Thank you!! ❤️
@@Rebecca-gg3emahh, YAY! I’m so happy you came back to tell me this, Rebecca!!! It’s really a game-changer for volume and curl WITHOUT heat! And much more comfy to sleep on. I’m so happy you love the results 😍🫶🏼
Thank you, thank you thank you I’m a side sleeper and I gave up because it hurts so bad I never got a good nights rest. I’ll look gorgeous but I was always in a bad mood. This will help tremendously.❤
So happy to have helped!
I CANNOT believe how good this technique is!! Have been searching for something like this for a year now! Could you please please share how to do the same reverse technique in short layered cut hair? It would be lifesaver!!
If I can get my friend in with short hair I will certainly try it, however, give it a go yourself and let me know how you get on ☺️🙌🏼
Thank you for this vid. My hair is all one length down to middle of the rear. Thick. I'm 73 years. My hair is natural color, grey and brown. I've been just letting it go natural with the natural curl. But its tiny zig zag waves. I'm going to try this method to smooth it. Probably need to have more than 2.
Thanks again. You hair is beautiful.
Thankyou so much for this!! Its so hard when you want to look nice but also sleep comfortably😭 this is amazing!! God bless you!😊
great tutorial! thank you! I tried it last night for the first time ever - with a scarf. It worked. I liked the curls and the sleep was fine too. However, as I knew and you said, because I used it on dry hair, the result was gone in a couple of hours. I just wanted to see how it works. Next time, I can do it with damp hair. Thanks again
Oh yay! I’m pleased you tried it. Probably a nice entry to it as intense curls can also put people off so you see how it goes by adjusting the dampness to suit your liking!
Trying it for the first time tonight! Can't wait to see the results. I'm a side sleeper so I was stoked when I saw this. Thank you for sharing.
I love the idea of starting from the back because an issue i have with my naturally wavy hair is that the further i go toward the back the looser/farther things are from the part... which is problematic because my natural pattern doesn't get curled and things just look... bad. Like halfway down my head it's my natural pattern then suddenly it's the robe waves and they dont at all match. It doesnt look sleek at all and it's so irritating that i dont even bother with the robe curls. I hope this technique, with it being so close to the top of the head and starting from the back, will solve that problem.
I was thinking the same thing, can’t wait to try it.
I love the original version so gona try this one! I wrap a silk scarf over to sleep in to keep the fly aways down, and during the day I have a soft beanie that i put over so I can take it out for going out at night.
I'm new here but have to say thank you so much for showing the whole process. Other's I've seen and tried didn't work out at all. Will try this tmw night and let y'all know how it comes out ☺️
Girl I have never been able to sleep comfortably at night curling my hair and I slept like a baby with this method! ❤❤ still have to spot dry because I have long thick hair, but totally worth it!
This is BOMB! I couldn't sleep on my side with the other way of doing it, you are a genius!
Thanks Julie! Glad you enjoyed it, I hope you love the result when you try it!
After trying the other method and it not working and not being able to sleep with it, I came across your video. What a great detailed tutorial (thank you) and it worked fantastically. My hair had dried out on the ends from using heat and now I can still have curls - and sleep! Thank you. 😀
Girl you change my life and hair game!! Thank you for this.
You're so welcome! 🫶🏼
What a master of hair too!!! You are so, so pretty! I hope Tommy reminds you often ❤
Oh thank you! You are too kind ♥️🫶🏼
I love this method, and I so appreciate you showing us how to do both sides. I’ve seen plenty of videos about this before but it does help to see two sides, one after the other. Now all I need is a robe tie. I don’t have one and no one I know has one to spare so I’ll have to figure that out. Anyways, thanks for sharing your technique. I’m going to try it ASAP.
If you can find a child’s bathrobe cheap that’s a great way to get your hands on one! It’s the soft terry material that I find works the best, rather than the harder material that some adult bathrobes come with.
So pleased you found this method and seeing both sides helpful! Let me know how you get on trying it.
@@ShonaghScott Thank you for that great suggestion. I can’t believe that a year has gone by and I haven’t tried your method yet! It was because I didn’t have a robe tie and then my life just moved on. 😄 Anyways, thanks for your response. I’m getting on the job now. 👍🏼💪🏼
@@tamaramorton8812 enjoy FINALLY trying it! 🤗🥳
I love the detail you give and all the small tips! great channel and beautiful hair :)
I am so glad now that I didn't waste money on that tubular thing from eBay! 😍😍😍 Using a fabric belt is SO genius! Except for the part where my nearly-knee-length hair is too long for one, BUT I CAN SEW TWO TOGETHER!!! 😁😁😁
Look up Cozy Confidence! They do really long ones!! And they’re just like our fabric ones. They’ll be ideal for you 🫶🏼
@@ShonaghScott omg sweet thank you!!! 😍❤️
Thanks so much for this method🤗 for those of us who sleep on our sides ,this will be much more comfortable!! I tried the previous method , but sleeping with it was horrible , ,even though i loved the curls 😪
Same, loved the other method and managed to sleep on it for the first year because I just loved the result, then I started to hate it 🤣 a lacklustre sleep for good curls wasn’t cutting it for me anymore. This is great!
Unbelievable pretty your construction with the belt. Ready to go to the beach😊. And the curls are so gorgeous as natural ones👍🏼
Thank you! I agree Anthea! Cute up-do with a lovely curly result at the end.
I’m awful with a curling iron and it never comes out the way I want it to plus I worry about heat damage. I can’t wait to try this method! Thank you for the very clear explanation!
Pleased to have helped! It’s great for saving your hair from heat damage.
Thank you for the tutorial. I can’t wait to try this. I have the exact robe tie. Have a great day!
Oh amazing, let me know how you get on trying it out!!
Just tried this on my 18 YO daughter last night. She has long blonde, super thick and kind of course hair.
I used the robe tie from a Barefoot Dreams robe, so the material isn’t quite the velvety type you showed, but it worked amazing.
I doubled the robe tie the entire way and she has the most perfect loose curls.❣️❣️❣️
Thanks Shonagh, this looks beautiful. I've got the same length hair as you & normally when I curl my hair with curling tongs, after a couple of hours, my hair is as straight. I shall definitely give this a go 😉♥️ 🇬🇧 Xx
it must be damp hair and/or some spray/foam that will hold the hair style. if i do it on dry hair, the results are gone quickly. if i don't use some hair styling products, the results are gone quickly.
I'm really excited to try this! I've really loved the way my hair curls with the robe-tie method (it's honestly the only way I've been able to get my hair to curl nicely without heat). But, the other day, I was just thinking to myself about how I wish it did a better job curling my hair on the back of my head. My hair isn't super long to begin with so I've hard time incorporating that part of my hair until the very end and then I end up with really beautiful curls in the front but this weird U shape in the back with hardly anything. Plus I've noticed that the place where I part my hair is really visible so I was wondering how to fix that. This couldn't have come at a better time! I'll see if I can try it tonight! :)
Oh have fun trying this method! I hope you love the result.
WOW!!! I am so excited to try it out tonight! Thank you for making it so easy to understand! ♥️
Thank you! You are such a brilliant teacher. I feel like I can do this on my hair after watching you.
I was actually searching for the unicorn method that’s been around lately, but I think I’m going to try this instead!! I have a “robe tie” I made myself with silk, so it’s a silk cylinder that I stuffed with soft foam. I wasn’t sure what I would use for the unicorn method and my silk curler will work perfectly for this method. This is so brilliant. I stopped doing the normal method because I was getting breakage on the sides from sleeping on the wrapped hair.
Edit: I just went and watched a unicorn method tutorial, and while it seems like an ok method it suffers from the “curls all going to same way” problem. The reverse method seems superior! Here I go to try it lol. My hair is so coarse and sticky it’s so hard to do this kind of stuff haha
Wow! Thank you so much for such a clear demonstration on how to do it. I’ve got long hair and love it curly and I’m excited to try this technique ❤
You are so welcome! Glad it was helped. Update me on how it turns out.
After feeling like I was being stabbed all night from velcro rollers… I’d just like to thank you so much for this 😩💕💕🙏
You’re welcome!!
I love this ! Thank you for such a clear , no fuss, no over talking video . This is the ONLY tutorial i go to do this . I've got a wedding coming up in 2 weeks so i'm practising now, tonight is my 3rd attempt ! Can you suggest a soft hair spray or something to hold the curls for the day ? i don't know anything about hairsprays, i just know i don't want the heavy super strong Bristows i used to use in the 80's for my then back brushed fluffy , spiky hair ! lol !
You are so welcome! Have you tried a lightweight mousse on the hair before wrapping? This is usually a great technique for added hold. Or, you could try L’Oréal Pli, it’s a thermal modelling spray, spritz it onto the hair before wrapping then just add a little heat from the hair dryer to activate the spray. I know it seems counterintuitive to add heat to a heatless look but it’s not hot like a tong, just enough to warm up the product within the hair. It’s hold the curls MUCH better than hairspray and without the crunch.
Die Methode Macht Sinn und hat mich überzeugt. Die locken sind traumhaft. Ich werde es ausprobieren 😍
Thanks Jenni! Enjoy your curls!
So excited to try! It actually looks so cute as a go to sleep look. Lol. ❤
I will be trying out this new thecnique this looks more comfortable to sleep in than the original since I prefer to sleep on my sides, thanks
Thank you so much for the details! I’m very excited to try it!
Hope you enjoy it!
Have been thinking about a more comfortable method for heatless curls. Like you say you want a good night’s sleep but want pretty hair too! I’ve stopped blow drying completely after watching your robe tie tutorial way back. So relaxing and comforting to listen to you. Looking forward to trying this method. This will take me some practice though so I shouldn’t do it too close to bed when I’m tired. Lol.
Oh... that's really clever. My hair is only shoulder length, so this will work much better for me!
Glad I could help!
EXCEPTIONALLY well explained and described tutorial. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Loved this! I’ve actually done the original method after seeing your video a few times and once on my daughter, it’s sooooo fun and satisfying unwrapping the hair! I love the “zigzag” look I love doing it so I cannot WAIT to try this 😁
Enjoy recreating it! If I had a daughter this would be my go-to as well 🤗
Thank you for sharing and your patience! You and your hair are beautiful!
You are so welcome!
Love this!! Absolutely love your curls! Thank you
Thank you, Kathleen!!
I have A LOT of hair, so I couldn't sleep with this in. But I'm still going to try it during the day for whenever I'm going to go out at night.
This is GENIUS. I'm so excited to try this! Thank you.
Hope you like it!
This is awesome, I’ve never done it before but so excited to try it! Thank you so much 😊
You’re welcome Kat!
Due to life being crazy I had to figure out how to sleep with my damp hair. I didn't have anything like a robe belt, so I hit up the fabric stash and made one! My hair turned out incredible! Threw it into a quick bun and I look like I spent hours on my hair
Just did this and it was so confortable! I have hair down to my waist so it’s bulky. The bangs and top didn’t really curl so I’ll need to try tying it tighter. What I liked about the other method was being able to control the front of my hair away from my face which is harder with this one
I looooove your haircut goals. My hair is still to short but want to let it grow like yours
Love this! I use your tutorial at the moment for my curls but sleeping in them can be a bit uncomfortable! Will try and use this one tonight! Thank you ❤️
Ooh, I hope you find this to be the game-changer you need!!! It really is so much more comfortable 🤗 Let me know how you get on!
This is fantastic. Great instructional video. Thank you! Was wondering, if you had any thoughts on super clean hair or two day clean hair type thing. My hair is 35 inches long and super thick. I wash it twice a week so would be good to know what would be best for keeping the curl in after. Thank you again. Cheers from BC Canada 🇨🇦
Gorgeous!
As a great-grandparent and retired hairstylist, this brings back memories of childhood Rag Curls, from the 19th and early 20th century.
Obviously, these curls are a lot softer due to the thicker robe tie and more thoughtful placement. Rag Curls tended to be randomly placed on the scalp, completely ignoring any idea of comfort or outcome.
What stands out to me, though, is your technique of alternate wrapping. It's brilliant!
This is my first time watching your channel, so I haven't seen what else you offer, but I must say that I also like how you developed a way to add volume at the root, on the crown. Again...brilliant!
I have short hair now in my old age, but I have been growing out the hair at the crown to add length and try some new styles.
My hair is completely white now, so I have to be careful not to apply too much heat, or the hair becomes singed and turns yellow.
I've been searching for a no-heat method to add a bit of curl and some volume, and I think I've found it here.
Well, I'm off to subscribe and find me a soft tie to try out your method.
Wish me luck, and thank you for sharing your technique.
This was so great to read. I remember my Mum doing rag curls on me as child and I agree, no comfort and the ends used to be quite scraggly 😅
This is my second video of this technique, the first still uses the same alternating wrapping technique but in the traditional manner of placing them down either of the head, much like Dutch braids. Still a gorgeous outcome, I just started to find that comfort of sleep Vs results wasn’t enough of a tipping point for me 🤣 so I came up with this method that was much more comfortable for side sleepers AND gave more root volume!
Your white hair sounds glorious, my Nan has pepper grey hair and despises it. She longs for natural white hair so yes, very important for you to keep it white! I hope you enjoy trying this method, and perfecting it in your own manner to suit your shorter style.
Can't wait to give these a try. Fantastic tips and excellent tutorial!
I really appreciate that you've taken the time to create a technique that is not only effective for great curls but realistic for sleeping. So many overnight curls ignore the fact that you will smash these curls into a pillow and blankets that are not the ideal silky smooth fabric for nice hair but static-y cotton cloth potentially with drool from either yourself or your bedmates (partner and/or kids lol).
Overnight curls are meant for people who need a reliable method to look their best that can be integrated into a busy schedule. I prefer heat styling but I just don't have the time or patience anymore. Work plus kids plus college? Yeah... That's a recipe for buns and sad ponytails. But this? I think I can do this.
Gonna try it with my silk scarves cuz my fine ass hair will frizz if I look at it wrong. Can't wait to see how it goes!
Thank you so much for tutorial! ❤️
This really isn't overnight hairstyle for everyone. You have to be at least a little experienced at braiding. I tried it tonight and it turned out looking great! I did it with long scarf. It was easier than other sleep-in hairstyles that I tried (and without the scarf). I like that it stays in place! I was looking for nice overnight curls hairstyle but also comfortable to sleep in and this is it! Thank you! Can't wait for the results in the morning
Do you know what size scarf you used by chance?
So beautiful! Hopefully some day mine looks like this. Thank you for sharing😊
You’re welcome 😊
Love this tutorial! ❤️Great results!!! Definitely going to try it! 🥰🥰
