    I've tried various ways to curl my hair with without using heated products, and this is by far the most comfortable (because I sleep on them), and effective way (longer lasting without having to use a lot of hair products). I have to be careful separating the hairs though, because if I separate and brush too much, it looks like a ridiculous cotton ball. You look awesome.

      Gorgeous. After you separated them a little, wow!.
      My grandma did rag curls ,and strips of brown paper bags ( from grocers),hard to sleep on paper. We wrapped much larger sections of hair ,like the girl did. You have the patience of Job!
      I'm white ,my grandbabies are in college and biracial. I wonder if either would let me do this to them.
      What two products did you use to wet your hair ?
      By the way ,I thi you looked even better than the girl whose video you watched.
      You looked absolutely beautiful . Those curls look amazing on you ,the way you did them( separating put a ,comb in side , and pinned top curl over to other side.
      Watching how much work you did ,with all that hair, and how patient you are ,reminded me of all the work I had to do when doing my twin granddaughters hair.
      They both have incredibly gorgeous hair.....like six heads full ! Lol. I loved buying and putting in all the hair " jewelery" for them when they were small, and elementary school age. I wish I could have had that for my hair as a child. I'd trade my hair with theirs in a nano-minute! They can wear so many amazing hair styles
      Curly or straight. My daughter in law should open a salon. She always looks like a professional did her gorgeous hair !
      One grand baby has an S curve ,the other has a Z. curl. There is a lot you learn about diff textures of hair by having diversity in your family! I have fine ,straight ,boring hair. I'm so glad they didn't get my or their fathers hair. Can't do alot with it. It breaks off really easy ,being dry and SO fine. I hate it !. Nothing super gorgeous like my girls , and daughter in law, or you can do. I'm envious!
      I subscribed. First time I watched you. You're funny ,upbeat ,and I can't wait to watch more of your videos
      I'll have to tell my granddaughters to watch you. I'll bet they subscribe !
      Take care. Thank you for showing that.

    They look amazing! I've done these a bunch of times on my daughters' hair - they have straight, fine white girl hair though.. but these are the curls that stay in best for them. The purpose of doing larger sections is that you end up with wider curls. I also usually double up the rags too, so they have a wider circumference to wrap around. They're so fun.

    My mom would do this to my hair when I was little. My hair is like... Merrida from Brave, but dark brown and more dry and coarse. The rag curls were very soft and lasted a long while in my hair, so we did this style often. We used rags from the paint section of Lowe's and such, and brushed through the curls to make them not so tight. I could also sleep in the rags during summer months.

    Your style turned out so cute! I'm a 57 year old Black woman and like many women commenting here, as a child this was the main method my grandmother (born 1911) would curl my hair. She did it mainly for special occasions, like my first grade school photo. Rather than t-shirts she used fabric from old cotton sheets. Probably simply because that's what we had that was long enough and abundant, ( I had long, very thick hair.)

    The earliest perms involved wrapping hair this way, but on steel rods, with a piece of string. Then, chemical pads were applied, and each rod was attached to a plug that was wired to a machine that applied heat to chemically steam the texture into the hair. It was scary, and there was always the risk of an electric shock, or burning the hair or scalp or ears.

    Honestly this is a perfect heat-free way to curl, volumize and make your hair look all that much better
    I'll even give everyone a little secret (I don't know if this works for ALL hair types but) - If you rag-curl your hair every single night for let's say, about two years at the least it will gradually "train" your hair to become "naturally" curly. So, if you have a lot of time and dedication you can eventually have permanent curls even after washing, getting it wet, etc. Only catch is you have to retrain new growth, so if you cut it all off you have to start over.

      I honestly have no idea how the RUclips algorithm lead me here beyond being subscribed to some black creators but i'm glad it did. Not only did I love seeing the way the experiment came out (especially when she separated the curls at the end) but its so heartening as you say to see a mutual love-in over cultural exchange without having some woke moron turn up and start ranting about cultural appropriation. Sharing ideas, learning from each other and becoming closer through shared interests should be what life is about

      locs ("dreads") are healthy, though? the entire point of the style is to help the hair grow and maintain length. It is very beneficial and low-maintenance, if you have the correct hair-type of course. I have the right hair for it but the only reason I would never do it is because once you have them in for a while you cant take them out, and Im the type of person who likes to change my hair style often.

    O my goodness, I am old as hell, I can remember having this done to my hair when I was a child. I am 73 years old. I had completely forgot about this technique. We used cotton hose. Before silk stockings, hosiery came up above the knee and were tied into a knot to stay up. They were similar to tee shirt material. These were cut up into similar long strips. The curls were called Shirley Temple Curls, she was a child actress who was “Honey Bo Bo like”. The slaves cosmetologist performed this services on theirs “mistresses hair”. Kinky hair was straighten before it was “rapped”. As a pioneer natural hair stylist, I used a long foam covered rod or flat plastic strips to wrap natural hair like yours. You hair is beautiful and I appreciate your joyful youth. Thank you for reviving such happy history. @rudu305.
