No heat curls.

Here's another thing a lot of you have probably seen or heard of in blog blog land... no heat curls.

The idea is to wrap your hair tightly around a elastic headband, go to sleep, and wake up with perfect hair!

I had my doubts, especially since I was blessed with hair that does not like to curl.  Straight as a board.


late last night ... ready for bed!


good morning!  someone get this girl a cup of coffee. 
i slept surprisingly well...
as you can see it also stayed pretty well in the band overnight.


as you can see it was nice and tight on my forehead... ouch


this is my impressed face 


this is my very impressed face 


the rear view... no pun intended

Have you tried this?  How did yours turn out?

If not, give it a shot... video tutorial here.  

We are headed to a wedding with my Sister and her husband tonight {yay yay yay!} so we'll see how long these curls last, but for now I am all kinds of happy with them.

  2. Your hair looks great! I'd spray with some hairspray and I'm guessing they'll stay all day :)

  4. I do this all the time--it's my go-to! I usually spray my hair with a little hairspray at night and then again in the AM before I take the headband off, and they last all day (sometimes two). You can also play around with different sized headbands to get different sized curls!

  5. I can't believe how good this turned out for you! We basically have the same hair right now. Can't wait for tonight!!!

  6. Cute! This turned out great! I have only tried it with short hair...definitely doesn't work! Haha! Have you ever tried the sock trick? I've heard that one works great too but I'm not sure what the length of hair needs to be for that one either. :)

  7. How long did the mark on your forehead last? My concern would be that it would last a few hours.

  8. @Stephanie - No I haven't tried the sock trick, I will have to try it someday soon though!

    @Jen - the mark on my forehead only lasted for about 15 min or so... in the tutorial she tells you not to wear a tight headband, but I did because my hair does not hold curl well and I wanted it to be tight.
