So last night, in my excitement, I tried it out. After getting my hair all prepped, I verbally warned Tanner that I looked pretty ridicuous and not to laugh when I came downstairs. Of course he laughed, he couldn't help himself and I couldn't blame him: I did look pretty silly.
First off, if you are going to try this for yourself, take her recommendation to use a really stretchy band! The only thing I had on hand was a super tight head band/elastic, and I kept waking up in the middle of the night with a POUNDING headache. I wanted to take it off SO bad, but my desire for beautiful curls was far greater, so the headband stayed on all night. In the morning I was dying to take it off. Not surprisingly, I had a red dent in my forehead where the elastic was. Ouch!
After 2HOURS! the red mark went away. I finally felt motivated enough to put on some makeup and fix the hair up a bit. I am definitely going to be doing this again!! I just love it. My only issue was that the hair at the back of my head didn't really curl (Hence the side pony). I think I got tired and lazy by the end. Next time, I will make more of an effort to twist and wrap ALL of my hair.
Have I ever told you that I lurve makeup?
Because, I do.
I always do this! Found the vid a few months ago...and it's amazing, changed my life, lol. I do find that if you dampen your hair a bit before bed, that you get a way tighter fit with the hair band, and then way tighter curls too, even at the back. Most days my curls are still in 2 days later! I also heard of someone that uses 2 headbands, and layers it for even more curls, I plan on trying that soon!
ReplyDeleteOh Jenny, you made me laugh out loud!!!!! Too cute, I for sure want to try it, and thanks for sharing the humorous side of your experience too!
ReplyDeleteWow, Jenny, you are beautiful! I love that last picture...and the other ones too. Sorry, I meant to tell you when I saw you today.
ReplyDeleteLove, Marion
love it! I saw the video for this a while back....too bad I chopped my hair off!
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this! I found about it a month ago and have tried it a few times. I like how you didn't include your bangs and how it worked - i had the same trouble with there not really being curls on the back. I will have to try the layered headband thing too, that cc mentioned. I love your pics. pain is beauty beauty is pain. and makeup is magic, i agree. BTW your end result was very awesome. I'll have to try the side pony
