Rag curls (pic)

[SandyStar]

I tried rag curls today. I wrote about it in my blog. My hair curls really easily. I only wore the rags for a couple of hours and my hair was still damp when I took them out.

Anyone else have pictures of their rag curls? :D

I've never done these but I love yours :D

[SandyStar]

Thanks :) I like them. It is a nice change for my hair and isn't damaging like a curling iron. I actually like rag curls better than curling iron curls. I find it takes less time to do the rags. I just roll them and wait.

I am definitely doing rag curls again. Today was just an experiment. I didn't do the rags very well and some parts pulled at my hair and it was a bit uncomfortable so I decided to take them out prematurely without sleeping on them, but surprisingly they turned out pretty well even after 2 hours.

Wow thats really pretty!

I haven't done this but it's very pretty. I've seen results from rope curlers and they're cool too.

Pretty. :) My hair doesn't take curl, doesn't keep curl. It's hardly worth doing. Bummer.

Stunning, shiny hair and curls! :)

BEAUTIFUL!! I couldnt get mine to look so nice, but you make it look easy

[hmmm]

I can't wait to try these when my hair gets longer! I just love yours!

Wow your hair looks so pretty. Will have to try to do this. You have lovely hair.

[amoulixes]

These are fantastic, your hair is beautiful! I think I'll try this :D

That is very pretty. I use the ones from Walgreens as a type of rag curl but mine a lot of times end up choppy, if that is the right word. I need to experiment with ways of curling.

When I tried rag curls they didn't turn out to good. I had better luck with pin curls, but they take so long.

Does anybody know if you can use perm rods to curl hair overnight....like a wet set?

Beautiful! I've been wanting to try rag curls, I think this will be more motivation to do so!

[melrose1985]

How thick is your hair? did you pinch some of my thickness? your hair looks great with the curls.

My pin curls don't take too long, only about 20 or 30 minutes, but in my hair, it's worth it. It lasts 2 or 3 days for me, if I sleep on them.

Aw, thanks everyone, I put in rag curls again yesterday, this time instead of putting them in for 2 hours, I slept with them on. My hair got a little too curly this time. I think 2 or 3 hours is good for me. My hair curls really easily. I find it gets wavy just from putting it up in a bun, even while dry. I have some latent waves in my hair.

My hair is of normal thickness, my pony tail is 9 cm in circumference.

You have such beautiful hair. :crush::agape:I am very jealous and the curls look amazing

[CaityBear]

My hair doesn't curl easily so I do mine overnight with damp hair. The first time I did them they turned out great. And so far I haven't been able to get them to turn out like that again. They were dry the first time. And now the last two times when I wake up, my hair is still damp. :( But the first time they turned out really good.

Here's my picture from the first time. :)

Rag curls have always been a disaster for me. Maybe I dont do it right. I end up with a kinky frizzy mess. Does anyone have a good video tutorial?

[xxaimsxx]

I cant my hair is short so when it's curled tight it looks very short.
I've never tried rags only curling tongs agessss ago!
It looks great. Your hairs so shiny!
Im jealous lol.
:)

Your curls are beautiful! Maybe you left in the rags for too long? The second time I did mine, my hair was very curly and messy, with the curls going every which way and the ends not curling right. I left mine on for a long time, probably 12 hours or more. Next time I will only leave them on for 3 hours. My hair in the picture was still a bit damp too. I don't mind them a bit damp.

Here is a good article here on how to get s-waves and it is basically rag curls.
