Have you ever had one of those great curly days where your curls are soft, shiny, touchable, and bouncy? Have you ever wished that those days would never end? I know I have! Well, wait no longer, because here's the perfect trick to keeping your curls intact overnight.
Step 1 flip head over.
Step 2 carefully gather curls into a loose pony tail on the top of your head, and loosely secure hair with a scrunchie or a gentle hair band.
It will produce something that looks like this.
This will keep your curls intact, and the frizz under control because it keeps friction on your pillow to a minimum.
When you wake up, gently remove the scrunchie, and shake out--voila! You've got beautiful second day curls.
Pray tell, what other strategies do you use to keep your curls intact?

Wish I woke up that beautiful everyday.
ReplyDeleteYeah me too! ;)
DeleteI will have to try this because it always seems like curls should last longer than one day :)
ReplyDeleteRight? My sentiment, exactly! Thanks for stopping by Judy :)
DeleteJust lovely! I hopped over from Friday's Fab Favorites because I have a daughter with curls and I am always looking for tips. I read through your 5 tips post - pinning and planning to give some of the ideas a try. She is 6 and we've only had her hair trimmed once - I don't want her to lose those beautiful curls!
ReplyDeleteHi Carly, I'm so glad that you're helping your daughter to cultivate and love her curls! Thank you for reading :)

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
Hi Heidi, thank you for featuring me on your blog -- I'm very excited! Also, feel free to join in on our Be. You. Tiful Link Party every Thursday.
DeleteWhen I had longer hair and curls, I would spray my hair with water and scrunch. That always seemed to reactivate the curls plus any styling product from the day before. And I also did the loose ponytail at night too. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your hair!
The spray bottle works like a charm! I have been doing that when some of my curls fall out of my loose ponytail.
DeleteHave you ever tried "plopping"?! Sounds weird- google it- it really does work for curly hair!

Hey Gayle, thanks for stopping by! I haven't tried plopping, but I do use a t-shirt to remove excess water when I get out of the shower to style it. I usually distribute a little bit of product and then scrunch with a t-shirt. I will have to try plopping though, and see what sort of effect it gives my curls.
