How do you wrap your hair for curls?

Published in Hair styling 2 mins read

To wrap your hair for curls, you can use a technique involving twisting sections of hair. The twisting creates a tightness that forms the curl as your hair dries.

Detailed Wrapping Method:

Here's a breakdown of the wrapping technique, as demonstrated in the provided video reference:

  • Twisting the Hair: After sectioning your hair, take each section and give it a little twist.
  • Direction of Twist: Twist the hair away from your face. This will help curls to form outwards.
  • Tightness is Key: The tightness of the twist is crucial for forming the curls. According to the video reference, this tightness is what "is gonna create the curl since our hair is pretty much dry."
  • Dry Hair: This method is designed to work best when your hair is mostly dry or dried before hand, to properly set the curls.

Wrapping Alternatives:

While the above method is highlighted from the video, other methods exist for wrapping hair to create curls such as:

  • Using a robe tie or cloth strips to wrap sections of hair around.
  • Pin curling sections of hair, then wrapping each section flat against the head.
