Thanks, Isis! I just started treating my blog as a blog, it was only a depository for photos for a few years.

I'm so bummed, I just did a tutorial for my hairstyle from the other day and the whole recording came out blurry. *sigh*

You're so welcome, everyone! I have more to add (and two I have been trying to do--technical difficulties)... I'll get to it ASAP! :)

And don't forget to suggest anything you think should be added, either post it here or PM me and I will!

I have betty bangs so I had to put the band back a little further, but just on it's own I think it's a cute hair style! lol I can totally see leaving it around the band and putting a flower with it for a really cute updo. With my hair so short I don't know how it will stay in all night, but we will see.

Update... It worked great! This may become my preferred method of curling my hair. ;)

This is how it turned out. :D

It looks great! Thanks so much for posting photos and an update about this method. I haven't tried it yet despite my best efforts to set aside a night. By the way, keeping the hair in the band and adding a flower IS a cute style - I saw a video on YouTube of that very thing a long time ago (it never occurred to me to use it as a way to curl hair). You can hide the band with sections of hair and no one has to know.

Now I'm going to HAVE to try this for curls. I don't see any frizz at all - what did you do to avoid this or do you naturally have few problems with that? And thanks again for sharing your results with us.

Usually with pin curls and pillow rollers I have lotsa frizz and really have to brush it and work with it. With this I just ran my fingers through it, then brushed the back down a bit and like she did in the video brushed the sides against my hand. What I love is that it so quick and easy! I did start washing my hair with Castille soap again so that may be helping with frizz too.

Thanks so much for posting that link!!! :D

You're welcome about the link - I ran across it by accident while viewing some of the tutorials here. Really amazed at the results from such simple technique. Now what's this about castille soap for hair? Off to google...
