Easy Hack for 5 Minute Curls
I don’t know about you, but curling my hair is a proooocess! Between two little kids, a puppy, and being a natural procrastinator, I don’t always have time for the whole hair-curling process. A few years ago, when my hair was really long, I stumbled upon a curl hack that CHANGED MY LIFE! It took me MINUTES to curl my hair as opposed to the usual half hour (at least)! Last year, I cut my hair to medium length and quickly realized I needed to adjust the curl hack to work with my shorter hair. Now I have an easy curl hack for 5 minute curls for long, medium, and short hair!
You Will Need:
A curling iron & soft scrunchies
Easy Curl Hack for Long Hair
Leaving the front pieces out, use a scrunchie to put your hair in as high a ponytail as you can.
Curl the ponytail in 4-8 sections (depending on the thickness of your hair).
Curl your front pieces as you normally would.
Easy Curl Hack for Medium Hair
Leaving the front pieces out, use scrunchies to make two super high pigtails.
Curl each pigtail in 3-6 sections (depending on the thickness of your hair).
Curl your front pieces as you normally would.
Easy Curl Hack for Short Hair
Leaving the front pieces out, use scrunchies to make 4 equal ponytails.
Curl each ponytail in 2-4 sections (depending on the thickness of your hair).
Curl your front pieces as you normally would.
After your hair has completely cooled, take down the ponytail(s) and run your fingers through your hair.
HELLO GORGEOUS CURLS IN MINUTES!!
Extra Tips for Easy Curl Hack:
- If you have long hair, you can use any of the three hack options. Medium length can use the medium or short option. The more ponytails you do, the better the curl will turn out. But the less ponytails you have, the quicker you’ll be done! So you can adjust it however you need to!
- Using a soft scrunchie will help to avoid a crease in your hair and will make it easier to take it out at the end.
- Leaving the front pieces out helps to guarantee a great outcome. The front pieces will make or break how it turns out, so it’s better to just take the time to make it right!
