Easy no heat curls and ringlets - How to curl your hair with a nylon sock

For more hair ideas, please visit our site: http://princesshairstyles.com

This "no heat curling" method is very similar to the technique used in creating "rag curls." We prefer using nylons (or tights) since they are stretchy and soft. We've been saving nylon socks and using this method to curl our hair for years and the curls turn out great every time! When we get snags or holes in our nylons, we cut them up into strips and add them to our curling stash! We love that this method is easy, cheap, and non damaging to the hair. We will use curling irons, flat irons and other heat sources to create curls occasionally.... especially when we don't have time to wait for curlers to dry. But, we like to avoid heat whenever possible.

PS We have a fun updo recorded using these curls which we hope to upload soon. Keep an eye out!

is there a way to do this that adds volume to the roots? for instance, can you start wrapping at the base and if so, how do you secure the ends? thanks!

[hair4myprincess]

@joannalcm Yes, you could definitely start wrapping at the base if you wanted to. When you get to the ends of her hair, just tie the nylons up the same way as shown in the video while keeping the ends tucked in.

@PinkChatterbug its not like they came up with this method. Rag curling has been around for decades.

[hair4myprincess]

@JustGlamorouslyAlive Very true. I think our Great Grandma's probably used this method to curl their hair. :) Still as cute today as it was then. 

[TheEndeavoringFamily]

So it's kinda the same thing as rag curls right?

[hair4myprincess]

@TheEndeavoringFamily Yes, this is very similar to rag curls. It's the same technique. ;) We prefer the nylon material because it is stretchy and the knots seem to come out easier when we are taking them out. You can definitely acheive the same cute curls with rags though.

@biebergurl234 It would be more difficult to wrap up the hair, but it can be done. Good luck!
