Straw Set Tutorial for "Perfect Curls" pt.1

[mscollins314]

Thank you so much for posting these videos. I bought my supplies and I'm about to do my straw set. I'm actually in the transitioning stage of going natural and I was looking for something to do with my hair in the meantime. Your instructions were absolutely wonderful. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

wat if your hair is like down to your colar bone how long would the curls be then

[MommaEarthHairCare]

@nianormanful Your curls will be as long as the straw, Im thinking about getting some "strawllers" so my curls can be more elongated, they come in different sizes and lengths. If you want your curls to be longer get longer straws or check out the "strawllers"

@nianormanful I love coconut oil, I mix it with olive oil. Coconut oil helps to retain length by keeping your hair moisturized especially thoses ends, fresh aloe vera gel helps the hair to grow because it contains loads of vitamins and balances the hair and scalp to its natural state. What makes my hair grow the most, at least one inch a month is working out regularly and drinking lots of water. When I stopped working out my hair grows only half a inch a month. Hope this helps :)

@TantraGal Your so welcome. I wish I had aloe growing in my yard :).

if your hair is natural and you straighten it out first and then straw curl it. will is get the same results?

[MommaEarthHairCare]

@riverbrianthia If you keep the straws in overnight (6-8 hours) then you would get similar results but the curls wont last as long maybe 2-3 days.

Yeah sorry. I saw that after I posted the question. Your videos are very informative, detailed and thorough, just what i need! But I have long (about the length of yours) but kinky "4b" hair and I am natural, but i keep my hair pressed. Do you think the straw set will work on my texture unpressed?

[MommaEarthHairCare]

@QuitaPay Yes it will work on any hair texture, I did a straw set on my cousin's hair who's hair type is 4b and it came out beautiful, just make sure if you have really thick hair to use more straws.

[QuitaPay]

How do you sleep with the curls without messing them up?

[MommaEarthHairCare]

@QuitaPay I have a Straw Set Maintenace video showing how :)

do you do this wet? or dry ?

[MommaEarthHairCare]

@pielx0xcanela wet.

[Jodie514]

what products do you use ?

[MommaEarthHairCare]

@Jodie514 In the video I just used fresh aloe vera gel and extra virgin olive oil. I use Shikaka indiani hair soap to wash my hair. I dont use conditioner most of the time.

Great technique! I have always wondered how this was done. I cant say I would have the patience LOL but if it lasts up to 2 wks I would give it a try. Off to see your results!
