So, take a nice shower or bath, and afterward, pop on Netflix for a while. You should wait until your hair is about 60 to 70 percent dry.
I find that this is the sweet spot– because if your hair is too wet, it will not dry while tightly wrapped overnight. On the flip side, if your hair is too dry, it will not hold the curls as well.
Anyway, once your hair is adequately damp, grab a bathrobe belt and two scrunchies. Then, head to a mirror– which will be your best friend during this process.
Start by simply laying the middle of the bathrobe belt across the top of your head like a headband. Once the belt’s two edges are hanging at equal lengths on the sides of your face, then you know the belt is centered.
Next, start at your natural part and grab a section of your hair. You don’t have to fuss too much over the size of this section. But if you have side or curtain bangs, start with that section.
Then, just wrap the hair away from your face and around the bathrobe belt. Once you have completed a full circle around the belt, just pick up another section of hair and keep going.
Repeat this process one side at a time until you have picked up and wrapped all of your hair around the bathrobe belt.
The most important thing to remember here is that you should always curl away from your face and make sure that the curls are wrapped tightly.
Finally, once you reach the end of your hair, just grab a scrunchie and secure your hair to the bathrobe belt. With both sides completed, it should look like you have two pigtails in.
Afterward, you can just go to bed as usual. You don’t have to use any additional products or sprays, and you don’t have to worry about tossing or turning in your sleep, either.
Bathrobe belts are typically soft and squishy, which means that you will be able to fall asleep and stay asleep very easily. Plus, as long as you secure your scrunchies properly, the curls will not come out. Trust me.
