Straw Curls

Straw curls are just as good as rag curls and it's basically the same process but the curls come out a lot smaller and tighter.

You will need water in a spray bottle, straws, setting lotion or hair spray 

Firstly wash you hair as it works better on wet/damp hair

Section a small piece of the hair off, start at the bottom of the hair and wind the straw up to the scalp.

Then tie up as in the beginning of a bow or shoe lace. 

Repeat for your whole head until it looks like the above photo. 

Spray whole head with water.

No my personal preference is to do this at night and sleep on them as it has longer to dry but  if you can't sleep on them or don't want to wait that long dry with. Hair dryer for 30-45mins on a cooler heat setting or leave to dry naturally for about 3 hours. 

Please note just because the top parts feel dry after an hour or so the bits in the knot area of the straw won't be this is why I say it's best to sleep on it.

Undo whole head of straws first so it looks like photo above 

Run fingers through each ringlet. 

Spray with setting lotion or hair spray.

Such an easy way to make curls and these do stay in a lot longer than curlers or heated rollers.
