Curls

We have been playing with curlers around here. We found these little noodle-like curlers at the store, and Sammi really wanted to try them out. She had me be the guinea pig, and so we worked together to conquer my thick hair.  I actually used to curl my hair all the time, but that was before I discovered the beauties of a flat iron. I could have really used a flat iron in high school, but instead I had to use curlers to tame the thickness of my hair. Whatever it takes, right?

I was pleasantly surprised at how these new little found gems worked on our hair. They create spiral curls that would take forever with a curling iron. I think you could accomplish the same results using the sock curl method, which I have never tried. But some sort of material, or cloth, might be a little more pleasant to sleep on. These noodles do not produce the best night sleep.

Here are some pictures of the process...

You just wind up the hair around the curler and twist them closed. It is kind of a fun and therapeutic process.

The more you use, the more curls you have to work with. We both had to use the whole package. 

Here is the removal of the first curl

 This is the back of Sammi's hair right after removing the curlers

 She felt like they were too curly for her, so she kept smoothing them out

 She preferred them more loose and natural looking, keeping her hair long and Rapunzel-like. She has got some beautiful hair.

This was my hair right after taking out the curlers, it made it super short with super tight curls. I smoothed them out and divided them for church. (The picture at the very top was right before church.)

However, I decided I also prefer the more loose curls. I felt like they looked even better after a Sunday nap, more natural, keeping my hair long. So that is what I recommend... 

Put your hair up in curlers overnight, take them out in the morning, and then take a nap, and your hair will look great. :)
