Pin Curls! Heatless Curls- Version 2

Hey Gals.. I decided that i wanted to have curls for our christmas family dinner. But my friend still has my curling iron so I thought I could just do a different version just for YOU!
And this is a real picture of the back of my head! LOL NO WAY!
Materials:
Water Sprayer
Comb
Hair Tye
Bobbypins
Lightweight Hairspray
Cupcake
Instructions:
1. Comb through hair to make sure it is tangle free.
2. Lightly spray hair with water sprayer.
3. Section your hair into 2 sections along your part.
4. Grab about a 1-3 inch section ( the bigger the section the bigger the curl: the smaller the section the smaller the curl... come on guys its not rocket science) and douse it in water get it really soaked then make a loop ( again big= big: small=small).
5. Slowly roll that loop toward the top of your head.
6. Next take a bobbypin and secure it at the top of your head. ( hence the name PIN curls).
7. You may need to grab a couple more bobbypins... it depends on your hairtype.
8. Continue around your head and when you reach the last couple pieces that are closest to your face stop.
9. TWIST your hair THEN do the roll. This keeps your hair out of your eyes.
10. Then you can wrap your hair up or whatever you want.
11. Wait until it is COMPLETELY dry until you take it out... I waited 3 hours because my cousins were also doing this so we had a fun time talking and hanging out and everything.
12. Lightly spray with your lightweight hair spray. This helps the curls stay longer!
13. EAT CUPCAKE!!
whoa... sugar rush

Heatless Curls

Hey Gals! Here is a tutorial on heatleass curls. I left my curling iron at a friends so i decided that this was a good oppurtunity to try it out. 

Materials:
Dove Extra Hold Hairspray-with natural movement.
Two Hair Tyes
Bobbypins
Water Sprayer Bottle
Cupcake
Instructions:
1. Either take a shower and let your hair partially dry or wet your hair with a water sprayer bottle. You want it to be damp not wet or dry.
2.Seperate your hair into two sections.
3. Take one side and twist it into one big spiral.
4. Spin it onto a bun and use the hair tye to pin it in place. Use the bobbyoins if needed.
5. Do the same for the other side.
6. Take a  lightweight hairspray and even though the bottle says 8-10 inches away go ahead and do it 1-2 inches away. Soak your hair. Litterally.
7. Either wait 2 hrs or sleep in it. The longer you have it in the more defined the curls will be. If you do not wait long enough you will have one big mess of wet tangles.
8. Eat a cupcake while you are waiting.
9.After you take it out run your fingers through it to get any unwanted tangles out of it.
