Hair Obsession: No Heat Curls

Now, I am in no way claiming this technique is mine.  I saw it on this blog, who found it here.  Seriously, watch the tutorial.  It's kind of long, but totally worth it.  I just want to tell you how I think is the best way to do it for fine hair, where the other two focus on much thicker hair.

Overnight my hair went from pretty much straight, with a light wave to this:

...with absolutely no heat!  Watch the video tutorial for full instructions, but here are a few tips I wanted to pass on for fine hair:

• Skip the hair serum before putting your hair into the elastic band.  Use a tiny bit after, because you'll inevitably get a few pieces that get a tad frizzy.  Focus your hair serum on those.
• Use a slightly tighter headband (I used one of Gianna's elastic bow headbands)  I think a tighter one holds fine hair better, giving you the best curls possible.
• Use smaller strands of hair in the front to get more uniform waves.
• If you want beachy waves pull a lot of hair out of the top of your elastic, so that they start lower down.  Grab and comb bigger strands of hair to put into your elastic, and don't worry about them being in there too tight.
• Comb the strands of hair before you tuck them into the elastic.  Towards the back I got lazy and stopped combing, and those were the pieces that didn't turn out the best.
• And try not to get lazy.  I did towards the back, because I wasn't watching what I was doing (I was actually watching "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding") and I just grabbed big pieces.  Next time I'll do it in front of a mirror

Good luck, and have fun! This really is the easiest technique for curls I've ever seen!!  My husband calls it my Taylor Swift hair :)
