Hello Cuties~
Short post here~
Just wanted to share the upkeep / maintenance of this hairstyle. It took a few different trials and methods until I found what worked best. The satin rods did absolutely nothing. Flexi rods kind of worked, they left me with subtle waves. Velcro roller were a pain in the ass. Eventually I stumbled across a video on instagram where they used socks. I followed their tips and left my hair a little damp before wrapping it around the socks.

It works best with long socks. I drape one over my head (like a headband) and use a claw to keep the sock in place. Then I start wrapping one side at a time. I found staring the curl outwards, away from my face makes a really flattering shape. I've seen people somehow get the sock to stay put with out it unravelling but, I just use a rubber band at the ends to keep mine together. Less fuss and disappointment quite frankly. The only good use I got out of the velcro rollers were re-curling my bangs.
And so this is how I look in the morning. Everything stayed in place after sleeping. I tug everything off and my curls are set for the day!

I've seen the sock trick too! It made beautiful curls for you! For me (when my hair gets longer again) I end up using foam rollers on my still damp hair and mousse to get curls. I'm very much not skilled with hair so the curls last till my next wash XD And it's not that bad to sleep in either.
ReplyDeleteAaa~~ (╭ರ_•́) very wise~ I didn't think of foam rollers with mousse! I'll have to give that technique a try when I get extensions again.

The curls look great!!!
ReplyDeleteI do the same method, though with a scarf originally, and ended up buying an actual long curler for this method. When it works, it look awesome! I'm just not perfect at it yet 😹
I also love the ribbon you're wearing!!!!
Tell me about it! I've gotten the long silk curler to work like maybe once ( ≧ᗜ≦) I can't take it! When you perfect it, I'd like to know how you did it. And thank you so much! The ribbon is from Fleurty Girl!

For me it's getting the dryness of the hair right! If it's too wet it doesn't dry overnight and if it's too dry it doesn't hold its shape 🙀
DeleteI tried again last night and I think it was a touch too dry but at least I have some loose curls today! Until the rain will cause it to collapse 😹
I also do overnight curls but a bit different and they even stay on for days! I might have to take a picture too to show how I do it.
ReplyDeleteI love using a curler from AliEx that are a bit similiar to how the socks work..I posted a picture of it in my "fav products of 2024" post.
I'll have to go read that post!! I'd love if you shared your technique! Teach us oh wise one!!!
