Success with the hair band method of curling!

Here is a picture of how my curls looked. I did this slightly damp, no setting lotion:

My hair is quite long and fine, so it is difficult to find a method that results in a good quality curl. I rather like the spirals I got, although they do remind me of the early 90s hairstyles. It was a ton easier to roll my hair with even this amount of curl than straight.

I used the part to do off-center rolls (my first time trying asymetical rolls):

When you said your hair was long, you weren't kidding.You got some nice curls with the headband set, and it looked cute while it was rolled up, too.

Thank you crwitt! I am glad that you thought it looked cute up, as it took a day and night to dry for me, so I'll have to wear it up out of the house. Other than rag curls (that take 2 days to dry and end up frizzy) this is the best method I've tried. Pin curls take forever to put in, and I've never had them hold.

The longest I had it was two and a half years ago, it was about 8 inches longer than this (I cut 18 inches off that spring). I'm probably going to cut 10 inches or so off in a month or two- that will be "short" hair for me.

Oh, and I really want to thank everyone who participated in the hair tutorial thread and this thread posting their results on this hand band curling method. It really encouraged me to try it, and I am really pleased with the results. Thank you!

No I'm not a member- although I have read many of the posts (especially regarding hair washing with baking soda- very helpful ). I'm pretty new to online communities, so I might just have to join! Thanks!

And thank you for the compliment! It's a bit dirty in the pictures, but I am trying to train it to go a week between washes. Not there yet, but I have made tons of progress.

You look great and I love your t-shirt. Where did you get it?

[Antje]

Thank you ladies!!! Most of the women looked like hookers! sorry to say but it was true, it was really horrible, but I learned about our new coloring system so that was the main point.
I got my shirt at www.fiftiesstore.nl

@Antje Are you a hairdresser?

I had to come up with something today because of a horrible pin curl set, so I tried my first gibson roll thing:

I used a hair rat for this.

 

[Antje]

Yes Katinka I am, and every now and then we also need courses to keep us updated, you hair looks great BTW

The back looks like the headband set!

you should have some nice curls when you let it down.

I was just thinking the same thing. It would be interesting to do a comparison between curls achieved using a hair band and using a rat.

I have to tell you ladies... The hairband method didn't really work for me. The first time, I got nice, soft curls, but I have not been able to replicate it. However, it is my new favorite way of putting my hair back!

 

[Katinka von K.]

No nice curls for me too. They were rather pointy and didn´t look good at all. But I liked the roll hairstyle a lot, so I don´t mind.
