Heatless Curls for Back to School... or Work!

 This was my go-to hair style when I was in Junior High and High School! I was never a morning person, and absolutely hated waking up early just to get ready! To save time, I used my mom's old school sponge rollers. This entire process takes me less than 10 minutes total! Five minutes of my evening and 3 minutes the next morning! 

 Remember these guys?!

Start off by applying curling mousse to clean hair. My hair is dry, but this would work well with slightly damp hair as well. 

 Next, take sections of hair and wrap your hair around the sponge. Unless you want tight curls, make sure you wrap the curls loosely! Because they're sponge, the rollers are comfortable to sleep in!

The next morning... BAM! Here's how the curls turned out!

 I always preferred loose curls. I tamed down the curl by using a flexible hold hairspray, then gently pulling my hair downwards. 

Here's the final look! I hope you enjoy and try this out yourself :D If you do, post a photo on my Facebook!

The hair was simple. I heated my hair with hot rollers. Don't know how? Here is a simple hair tutorial. After applying rollers, allow them to cool down for at least 15 minutes. Remove the rollers and start rolling about 4 sections of hair in the front, setting it in place with bobbi pins. Bring the rest of your hair up to a high ponytail. Wrap your ponytail into a loose bun (to allow volume) and pin in place. 

Once your hair and makeup is done, just accessorize with a button up flannel, hoop earrings, a bandana, and loose jeans!

Back to Basics: Hot Rollers

Hot rollers are one of the easiest ways to curl your hair with little time and effort. I use conair jumbo hot rollers which I got from Walmart for about $30.00. It comes with 4 super jumbo (1 3/4 inches) and 8 jumbo (1 1/2 inches ) hot rollers, along with hair pins to set in place. 

I start off by plugging in the rollers and allowing it to heat up for about 10 minutes. I take the super jumbo size roller and use them at the top of my head. Its easier to wrap your hair starting in the middle rather than the end, that way you get a tight grip and prevents your hair from slipping out. I prefer curling away from the face. 

I used three of the super jumbo rollers at the top, and the rest of the jumbo rollers everywhere else. Watch the video below to see where I position the rollers. Once all are in, allow the rollers to cool down (the longer, the better!) I gave my hair 20 minutes before removing the rollers.

I run my fingers through my hair to loosen up the curls and finish off the look with Loreal paris Elnett hairspray. Elnett is perfect for soft curls cause it doesn't stiffen your hair or make it flake.

Here's the finished look!
