Beat the Heat Day 4

Pin curls to Romantic curls

This style takes me back to the beauty school days. When you go to beauty school the first things you learn how to do is pin curls. This is a lovely style dating back to the 1920's. Begin with damp hair. Part hair and begin taking small sections. Roll the hair out as if there were a roller in the middle, leaving the ends out. Tuck the ends into the pin curl and lay the curl on its side. Secure with a pin, making sure all the pins are turned in the same direction. Secure with a silk scarf to prevent flyaways before going to sleep.

 When you wake up, unravel each curl and then touch up any needed pieces with a curling iron.

Velcro rollers to Voluminous Body

For this style you will need a set of rollers. Begin with damp hair. Using a rat tail comb, part off  a section of hair and position roller on the top of your head. Drag the roller down the hair shaft and when you get to the end, turn the roller under until you reach the top. Secure with a hair pin. 

When rollers are completely dry, go over your entire head with the blow dryer. Then switch to the cool setting and repeat. The hot air will set the rollers, and the cool will help to hold the curl. Remove the pins one by one and unroll the curlers.

This hairstyle is also a great option for second day hair. Spritz a little dry shampoo on your scalp and repeat the previous steps with dry hair.

Boho Braids to Crimpy

This hairstyle is pretty simple. Begin with damp hair and spray a little leave in conditioner. Section hair into several pieces. Braid each section and tie off with a ponytail holder. Go to bed and take out the braids in the morning.

Run your fingers through the braids to separate the strands. Put a little pomade all over to help piece the hair and smooth fly aways. *Optional* Run a flat iron through large sections of hair to soften the crimps.
