Are you tired of using heat tools to curl your hair? Do you want to try a new method that won't damage your hair? Look no further than rubber bands! This easy and affordable method can give you beautiful, bouncy curls without the use of heat. Here's how to make curly hair with rubber bands:
How to:
To begin, start with clean and damp hair. If you have naturally curly hair, you can skip this step. If you have straight hair, you can add some curl-enhancing products like mousse or curl cream to your hair.
Next, divide your hair into small sections. The size of the sections will depend on how tight you want your curls to be. For tighter curls, use smaller sections, and for looser curls, use larger sections.
Take a rubber band and wrap it around the base of the section, close to your scalp. Then, twist the section of hair until it starts to coil around the rubber band.
Continue twisting the hair until it's all coiled around the rubber band. Once you reach the end of your hair, secure it with another rubber band.
Repeat this process for all the sections of your hair. Make sure to use the same size rubber bands for consistency in your curls.
Let your hair air dry or use a diffuser on low heat to speed up the process. Once your hair is completely dry, carefully remove the rubber bands from each section.
