Tricks to curl your hair heat and not heat!

    Nothing feels better than washing your hair first thing in the morning, curling it up with some product and going out the door feeling fresh and clean from head to toe. 
Here is another alternative to wet curl if the curling gets a tad boring.
    
    So, here are some tricks to changing up the wet curl:


1. Flexi Rods; yes I said it. Those aren't just for grandma to keep her thin hair curly and full. You can do just the same with your already full set of hair. For big full curls choose large flexi rods for tighter curls choose smaller rods, the width of the rods also has to do with the length of your hair.
Take a dab of any styling creme you have handy for curly hair, and apply all over your hair gall the fly aways are tamed next part your hair from the bottom up taking about two inch thick parts, split that in half and roll. Keep parting and rolling until all your hair is in rods. Leaving an inch or two or hair at the root unrolled will give you more of a relaxed look. 
Go about your morning routine leaving hair for last. Unroll, toss and go. 


2. Tiny Buns; apply styling creme or styling oil for extra luscious waves or curls all over the hair. Depending on hair length and tightness of curls desired part hair smaller or larger. Part hair on desire side and comb with a wide tooth comb and start twisting into a small bun secure with a band. Continue to part comb and twist until the entire head is on buns. 
You can leave over night for an extra tight curl. If you do in the morning leave in for 20, 30 minutes or while you get dressed. 
TRICK- If your hair is extra thick and straight and need a little more help curling, take each bun and unroll then take a flat iron on low medium heat and press all over the twisted part, do this for each individual bun, then finger comb and done.


3. If you have thicker roots and they tend to curl more then your ends, wash hair apply some leave in conditioner, tie your hair in a pony tail and let semi dry. Tying the hair make sure the roots lay flat and while drying taming them down, while the ponytail dries curly. Now loosen the ponytail apply some styling creme style as usual and go.

The best part! All of these tricks can be used on baby girl, of course omitting the things that would be uncomfortable depending on age.
