Curls should not stay wet, in this case, being rolled up, they simply will not dry out overnight. If, before removing the curlers, you feel that the hair is still moistened, dry it with a hairdryer.
Before work, be sure to apply mousse or foam to the curls - styling products make the hair softer and more obedient, such curls are easier to collect and twist, and the styling turns out to be more accurate.

With a sock
The easiest method to create spectacular curls is to wind the strands onto a regular sock. it must be cottonso that it can absorb water from wet strands. The number of socks can be varied depending on what kind of curls you want to get - small or frequent.

The technique is very simple - each curl must be wound on a golf or sock and fixed with silicone rubber bands. Rest assured that in the morning you will surely be delighted with a waterfall of luxurious curls.
Old T-shirts can be used as an alternative to socks. This is a very fun way to create natural waves that look truly glamorous. The procedure is as follows: for a start, the T-shirt twists into a tight bundle and its ends are pulled together with an elastic band so that a circle is formed. The hair is combed, mousse is applied and distributed over the head so that it falls evenly around the circumference - on the face, behind and the same amount of strands on the sides.
A twisted T-shirt is put on the head like a hoop, like a crown, after which a tourniquet is wrapped in large strands and each curl is secured with a small hairpin.
In the morning, the strands are untwisted, then gently beat with your fingertips and sprinkle with varnish.
With fabric
To create curls, even simple ribbons and strips of fabric are useful, they must be woven of cotton to absorb excess moisture. To get beautiful curls, you need to do the following: divide your hair into separate strands, and then wind each of them on a strip of fabric.

It is very convenient to weave braids, especially this method is especially good on long hair.
To do this, divide your head into zones and braid several braids, the more there are, the smaller the curl will turn out.

You can create a beautiful wave with the help of flagella, three will be enough. The curls are divided into the same sectors, and then each strand begins to wrap around its axis until they become tight and twisted along the entire length. Keep in mind that if you let go of your fingers before you secure your bundle, it will immediately spread and you will have to start all over again. To prevent this from happening, be sure to apply mousse or foam to your hair - this will make the strands more obedient.
