Whether you are styling your hair for a formal event or just want a fun look for school or work, bouncy curls are perfect.Unless you have naturally curly hair, it can be difficult to create curls.If you would rather not spend an hour curling every strand with a curling iron, you will be happy to learn about this simple trick.Put down your hot tools and grab a paper bag.
Step 1: Make sure your hair is damp.
You can either use a spray bottle or a shower to make these Curls.It is important to work with damp hair.The paper won't hold your hair properly if it's too wet when you start.Start with dry hair for African American hair.It's a good idea to mist a little water, oil, and a hydrating product on your hair.You can massage a small amount of product into each section of hair if you put it in the palm of your hand.
Step 2: Remove your hair.
Make sure your hair is tangle-free by using a wide-toothed comb.It is important to use a comb rather than a brush if you have damp hair.Start at the ends of your hair and work your way up until you get out the tangles.
Step 3: Take out your hair.
It is best to section out your hair so you can work with one section at a time.Depending on how much hair you have, you can put it into a bottom, middle, and top layer.Pin the top sections up with hair clips.The process will be more manageable thanks to this.
Step 4: Put the paper bags in long strips.
If you are using brown paper lunch bags, it is a good idea to tear or cut strips down the length of the bag so that you have a smooth strip.If you are using larger paper bags, make sure to cut your strips so that they are at least 10 inches.
Step 5: Wrap a strip of paper around your head.
For the best results, use a small section of hair.Place your damp hair, or your hair with product, in the middle of the paper strip so that it is sandwiched between the two sides.You will be able to roll up the entire strand if you slide the strip down to the bottom of the hair section.
Step 6: The hair should be pulled around the paper.
It can be difficult to master this part.Rolling your hair around the middle of the paper strip is what you want to do.Roll the hair around the paper strip until it feels secure.If you want to create twists in your hair, you can roll the twist around the paper strip outlined above.Wrap the hair sections around each other to create a twist.Roll that twisted section with the paper.
Step 7: Wrap the paper around your hair.
Roll your hair up the section after securing it around the paper strip.There should be two loose ends of paper on the roll.Continue rolling until you get to the point where you want the curl to go.If you want volume in the roots, you can go all the way to the top of your head.It is up to you!
Step 8: The paper needs to be tied loose.
You need to secure the paper strip when you roll as much hair as you want.Tie the two loose ends together.Make sure you create a knot that will hold your hair in place while it dries.You may need to work with longer strips if you can't form a knot with the two loose ends of paper.
Step 9: This is for the rest of your hair.
Let down the top section after you have finished the bottom section.You need to wrap and tie every single piece of hair in a paper strip.Double check that all of your papers are secure.The more paper curls you create, the better.
Step 10: Let your hair dry.
You can dry your paper bag curls before you go to sleep.If you are going to be lounging around the house, you can put your curlers in in the morning and let them dry throughout the day.Before you remove the strips, your hair needs to be completely dry.You can run a blow dryer over your curlers if you are in a rush.If you plan to apply a heat protectant to your hair, make sure to keep your blow dryer on a low or medium heat.
Step 11: Wrap each one.
It is time to untie your paper bags after you feel your hair is dry.Pull your rolled hair back together.This is for your whole head.To make sure there is no paper left in your hair, run your hands through it.You can put your paper strips in the recycling bin when you remove them.
Step 12: Use your fingers to style your hair.
You can create a mess by undoing the structure of your curls.If you want to smooth and tame your hair, gently run your hands through it.If you want to make sure your hair holds up for the entire day, you can use a little bit of spray on it.When you first remove the paper bags, your curls may be tight, but over time they will loosen and fall into softer curls.
