Tin foil curls

What you will need : hair brush, heat protection spray, hair straighteners, roll of tin foil and setting lotion. 

Time : depends on hair length and if you want thick or thin curls, each tin foil takes around 10 seconds.

I saw this post on Facebook a few weeks ago about how to do hair styles, which got me thinking, I wonder if there is any ways of doing my daughters hair different. So I googled it and I come across tin foil curls, now I have tried curling tongs and straw curls but these are so much simpler. Plus not on aslong so not harming the hair. 
To take precautions always use heat protection spray. 
You get a small strand of hair ( or a large piece depending on if you want think or thick curls) start at the top, by the root of your hair and wind around the end of your finger. Get a rectangle piece of tin foil around 10cm's put under your finger which has the hair wrapped around it. 
Slide the hair off so it's still in "o" shapes fold the tin foil covering all pieces of hair you had wrapped around your finger. Hold hair straighteners on for 5 seconds . Do not touch the foil repeat till all hair is done. The other way to do this is foil all your hair then hold straighteners on after. Depends on what you prefer to do. Unwrap and hey presto beautiful curls. I always spray with setting lotion which I mix 50/50 with water into a spray bottle as it will hold the curls a lot longer.

Simple quick and easy to do.

This took me 5 mins to do a quick layer on top of my daughters hair
