Hi all,
Thought I'd share a heat-free method that I've found for getting curly hair. It's really easy. I wash and condition my hair at night. Then, while it's still wet, I divide it into two pieces, as if I was going to make pigtails. I take one side and twist it. Keep twisting until it twists up on itself, becoming a tight little twisty bun/sausage behind/below my ear (I imagine if your hair is longer than mine (BSL) that you would end up with more of a sausage than a bun. The important part is that the ends end up twisted all the way back up to your head). The very ends are hard to twist, so I just wrap them around the base of the bun. Then I take an elastic and wrap it a couple of times around the base of the twist to secure it. Repeat on the other side. The whole thing takes about 2 minutes. I sleep on this, and because of the placement of the twists, I don't find that they bother me at all. In the morning, I take off the elastics, shake out my hair, and I have ringlets that last until the the next wash.
