Curl em up!

Hello!

I always prefer straight hair over curly when I buy hair, mainly because I can do so much with straight hair. I can wear it straight or curly and I can change the type of curls on it too.

I will show you on this post how I curled my straight Brazilian hair into a lose curl.




You will need:
1.     Hair Brush
2.     Electric Thong, I got mine at Checkers for R79
3.     Tresemme Heat defence smooth and soft  cream serum
4.     Water spray bottle
5.     Bobby pins
6.     Mini Straightener. I got mine at Dischem for R50



Mixing the Serum into the Water Bottle
Firstly I do this because the serum is a cream so it’s easier to spray it onto the hair evenly than to rub it in
·        Poor the serum into the water bottle(doesn’t matter how much, just don’t fill up the bottle)
·        Add some water into it; DO NOT add too much water. We want the serum to spray well through the bottle but we do not want it to be watery too much.
·        Shake the bottle well to mix the two
·        Add  bit more water or serum if the consistence is not right

Step 1:
·        Brush your hair to remove all the tangling and knots
·        Spray your hair evenly with the Tresemme serum from the water bottle
·        Brush your hair again to get the serum all over
·        Note: DO NOT spray too much, you  do not want your hair to be wet

Step 2:
·        Separate your hair into 2 section and put them on both sides on your head
Don't mind my PJs yall

Step 3:
·        On one side separate it in to 3or 4 sections
·        For lose curls take big sections and smaller sections for tighter curls
·        As you can see below I take rather bigger sections

 Step 4:
·        Take your Thong and do not open the thong mouth while using it, we are going to use it as a Curling Ward(Which is on my Xmas list, so father Christmas must do the right thang!)
·        Wrap your hair around the thong, try to spread the hair on the thong and not wrap hair over each other
·        Hold the hair onto the thong for about 10seconds( if you took bigger sections hold it for longer)



Step 5:
·        Release the hair slightly from thong without unwrapping it from the thong
·        Once the thong is removed hold the hair against your head with your hand securing the curl for 5 to 7 seconds
·        You can let go after that




Step 6: Do this if you are doing night before like I was
·        Than you can pin the curl into your head with a bobby pin
·        This will make it stay in place during the night and not lose the curl



Step 7:
·        Do steps 4 to 6 for the rest of the hair that is left.


Step 8:
·        Put a scarf on to protect the hair while you sleep


Step 9: Do this the next morning
·        Remove the bobby pins from your hair
·        Run your fingers through the curls to loosen them up and make them look natural



Step 10:
·        Use the mini straightener to straighten your natural hair so its not out of place or sticking out



Step 11:
·        You can now style your hair however you like
·        I just simple took all the hair into one side and pinned the one side




Step 12:
·        Take a pic of your fabulous hair  and mail me, I’ll add it to my blog (weaveobsession@gmail.com)
