NO HEAT CURLS
Hope your sock buns all worked out. As I discovered on YouTube (and later for myself), the sock bun can help you create lovely curls without the damaging effects of using a curling iron. The process is similar to creating rag curls, but so much simpler to create and you’re going to end up with large, Hollywood-style curls.
(Similar to this photo the sock bun can give you large curls that start midway down. Pouty expression not guaranteed)
SO… put your hair up in a very loose pony tail at the very top of your head. This will prevent hair denting or being a pain in the neck (literally) while you’re sleeping. In general, sleeping with your hair up on your head helps create a voluminous look for the next day. Spray your loose locks with some water if dry, or if you’re putting the bun in post-hair washing then let dry around 80%. Put the donut through your hair, but don’t tuck the end strands through, and roll up to your head before securing with a bobby pin if needed. Now the tough part comes along…
Ahh, once you’ve got your beauty sleep simply remove the bun and let those lovely curls fall. Gently brush out those curls if you’re going for a wavy look. Best of luck.
