Today I bring you...
Headband Curls!
For those who are unfamiliar, there are tons of youtube videos detailing the how-to. Basically you wrap your hair around a headband, piece by piece. The headband is worn hippie style, like this: (not my picture)

The biggest plus of this method is it's a total breeze to sleep on--unlike Curlformers, Wrap, Snap and Go, or even multiple buns. I couldn't feel this at all, and as you can see, an added bonus is it's a protective sleeping style! It didn't budge all night. It also took about 5 minutes to create.
So, after you wrap it, you spritz with water (and product if you so desire) and uncoil in the morning.
These were my results! I'm *pretty* happy with it, but as you can see the ends are a bit unkempt/straight, still. I'm certain this was my fault, perhaps I didn't tuck them properly. I'll try again and post my second attempt but would love to hear from anyone who's used this method about why this might have happened:

This is what the curls look like up close. They are loopy and beach-y and thus far (3 hours in) have not wilted.
