Holiday Hair Week - Tutorial #2: Perfect Ringlets

Welcome back to Holiday Hair week my darlings:) Here today for day #2 is a fun tutorial that I've been wanting to share for a lonnng time! My reason being that I've been doing this to my hair off and on ever since I can remember, and its jus so easy and fun and uses no heat whatsoever! You just gotta try it. 
These curls are just too gorgeous, and so fun because they are so different! Everyone will compliment you on your curls, and guaranteed people will be playing with, and 'bouncing' your curls all night so keep that in mind.haha This tutorial is more of a means to an end, meaning that while it is a great style just like this, I normally curl my hair, then style it somehow. You just don't want to cover up or undo all that gorgeous curl! I'll give a list of styling ideas at the end of the post. For now, here's how ya get it done!!
Supplies needed:
- Package of foam curlers
- Brush
- hair pins or clips (optional)
- hair dryer (optional)
- spray bottle (optional) 

Method:

Step #1: To start off, you'll want to take a shower the night before your event, and we're going to start the hair stylin right out of the shower! You'll want to put the curlers in with damp (not sopping) hair, so if you need to rewet it, please do so! Choose your part ahead of time, and separate your hair into 4-6 approx. even sections. Secure with hair clips or pins.
Step #2: Divide your curlers up into groupings so every section gets the same amount. (This will help you not run out of curlers, and they will all be uniform.) Start with one section and taking about a inch section, begin wrapping the hair flat around the fowm curler beginning roughly in the middle of your section. Move along your head with the bottom sections first and moving to the top.
Step #3: Have a slightly uncomfortable nights sleep, (or just blow dry a bunch throughout the day after putting them in early) and take them out by unraveling the end slightly, then holding in one hand and tugging straight down with the other! Voila! I always do them the night before, because I don't want to chance having them not 'set', but I do have very long hair, so you be the judge weather or not you think yours are dry. Test it with one curl! :)
Step #4: The last bits is the easiest and most fun part of taking them out! It really is so fun I'm telling you. Then you'll proceed to bounce your head around like a goof for 5-10 minutes before deciding on how to style your new Shirley Temple locks! Again I do leave my curls just like this, (only with a side part), but from here a few of my favorite styles are:
- High bouncy pony
- Curly top-knot bun
- Two low pig-tails
- Add in a sparkly hair accessory or bow,
- Or simply pull a bit back from the front for a half-up half-down. 
And that's all there is to it folks! Again, if you decide to give it a try, let me know because I'd love to hear feedback!
xoxo, Emily

  8. Absolutely gorgeous! It brings back so many memories of my mum before she died. She used to do that to my hair using strips of cut up pillow cases! I wish I could remember how she did it. Not that I could do it to my hair at the moment... I had it all chopped off in January in aid of charity (and I donated it to the UK version of Locks of Love) but I'm ready to grow it again now!
    I'm really enjoying your blog, by the way!
