How to curl hair with socks. Yes, with socks.

I don’t know about you but I’m one of those women that can’t handle a curling tong. I always ended up burning my forehead, ears or fingers. Nevermind burning myself, but the hair always looked frazzled and frizzy after so I might as well not do anything.

I wish I could be good at using a curling tong or even ordinary curling rolls but sadly, some people are just born without any hair curling talent in their genes.

One day, I stumbled upon this video on youtube that teaches you how to curl your hair with socks. Yeap, the kind that you wear on your feet. I was intrigued.

What you need:

Socks, several pairs (more socks for more curls)

A spritzer bottle filled with water

Leave-in conditioner (optional)

# – Fill up a spritzer bottle with water and add some leave-in conditioner if you want.

# – Looks like white cendols. Shake the bottle until combined.

# – Prepare socks. Clean ones, please :)

# – My pre-curled hair. My gawd T_T

# – Get a section of your hair, smooth it down with your fingers.

# – Spray the water+conditioner solution on it to damp up the hair. Just damp, not soaked.

# – Now get a sock, wrap the ends of the hair around the sock then roll sock towards your scalp.

# – Then tie a knot with both ends of the sock. Don’t tie it loose but not too tight either.

# – Repeat with the rest of your hair.

I actually slept with the socks in my hair. It’s very comfortable, like having another layer of billowy pillow under my head haha. I’m quite a rowdy sleeper yet I woke up with all the socks still intact.

If you don’t feel like sleeping with the socks in your hair, try to leave them on for at least 5 hours.

# – When it’s time to unveil the curls, untie the sock and gently ease it out of the hair.

# – Remove the rest of socks from hair.

# – Yay, curls! With your fingers, gently tease them with your fingers for desired hairstyle.

# – I went to a dance music festival with these curls and they lasted me through sweating & dancing for half a day, albeit a little limp in the end. Impressed!

I think this is a much healthier way to curl hair as well. Hope this tutorial helps you girls out there with difficulties in using curling tongs like me.
