Stylin’

by admin on January 28, 2013

I have been really into Pinterest lately looking at hair styles and more importantly checking out some of the how to’s available there.  I am looking for an easy way to set my hair without heat.  Mostly so that I can pass it on here.  My hair is stubborn and thick so I figure I’m the best one to try these things on.  Here is a popular way that is also easy and gives a good result considering (you know I’m a perfectionist).

 The headband technique

A few additional tips are to wet your hair with a spray bottle and use a soft hairspray before you wrap your hair.  I usually wrap my hair before bed and then put a shampoo cap on so my hair doesn’t frizz.  Just a reality check your hair will not look as good as if you used a curling iron but for a no heat option it works pretty well.
