If you didn't win one of the sets of Curlformers last week, I've got another great way for you to get curls using no heat. I'm assuming you've got socks lying around your house that you could use - so if you do - you'll be able to do this! If you watched us on The Daily Dish last month HERE, Bee had curls in her hair and I briefly showed how I got them using socks while we were on the show (but I think the angle of the camera on TV didn't quite capture what I was doing) so here is a full tutorial on it. After I'd done the sock bun tutorial (you can see that HERE) I had one of my readers link me through to THIS video and I was so excited to see the results after the not so impressive results from the sock bun.
These are great for getting "rodeo princess curls" as Bee calls them & are perfect for any time you want beautiful curls for a special occasion. They relax nicely by the end of the day if you don't want such a "bouncy" curl. When I did this in Goose's hair, since her hair is thicker & heavier, the curls tended to be more wavy than the bouncy curl. But that was just fine too!
So here's the video tutorial & pictures we put together for you ... enjoy!

I love Sock Curls-- you do them different than I do. I need to try your way one of these days.
ReplyDeleteShe's just so dang cute! I love little girls with curls, and wow, all that curl from 5 socks is amazing. That's so much faster than using the curlformers!
ReplyDeleteIt is fun to hear your daughter talk on the video. She's adorable! I've tried the fat white socks unsuccessfully before. Since they are thick, they are hard to tie. If you even CAN get them tied, they would make such a big knot that it would be uncomfortable to sleep in.
