Charli Curls (Heatless Curls Overnight Waves Hairstyles) - Does This Thing Really Work?!

Hey everybody, it's bunny and it's everybody's favorite day of the week, the day of the week when we ask ourselves, does this thing really work? And today we are gon na be testing a heatless curl product which is called charlie curls. I filmed the intro and then just decided i needed a fresh tea, so i'm back again, even though through the power of editing i never left anyway, you guys charlie curls. They say it only takes 30 seconds of effort that it's going to be the easiest way. You will ever curl your hair, no heat, no chemicals, there's no liquid in here. So i feel like that. Goes without saying. Can you imagine just like chemically filled hair curlers? We get instructions and then they're gone now you get this bag, which this is like very nicely wrapped, although i have to mention like this product is so light. It feels like. I just bought twenty 24 of air. Well, i guess it's good that it's lightweight because you're supposed to like leave it in all day or sleep with it. So obviously you wouldn't just want, like a 10 pound, albatross tied to your head, so uh here we have it. Oh nice and bright and purple like a teletubby. It sort of feels like that not quite suede. Maybe velour is the word that i'm looking for the fabric feels a little bit textured like uh, and i feel like that's, going to be a good thing, because i feel like it'll help to just grip onto your hair, like i don't feel like this would work As well, if it was made out of like let's say the silk, you know silky kind of material, even though i do see a lot of heatless hair curler items made out of that silk material. So maybe i'm wrong. I don't know anyway, it is like a velour material, we're gon na say. Oh, it says what it is: 100 sueded mole skin that is disturbing moleskin. I'M gon na look up. It'S not made out of moles, i'm sure anyway, so we have some moles of skin. Wrapped around what feels to be like a thin little piece of metal like as if it was like a coat hanger wrapped in moles skin so um i did just wash my hair. Your hair is supposed to be damp like they say, spritz it all over with water. So i figured hey. Let'S just be extra clean, let's wash it let's comb it and i did wash it about 30 minutes ago now, so it is just lightly damp like in the middle section of my hair. I'M sure you guys can see starting to get a little dry here at the ends, so we got ta move fast. I did look at a couple of videos just to see the different wrapping techniques that i could test with this thing, one i'm kind of tempted to try is called the unicorn method. I'Ll just show you i'll show you we'll we'll wrap it a couple ways and see what we like no more need for chair we're doing athletics today, okay, wait. Can you see me, can you see me? I brought you here to my other messy filming room, but you guys can actually see my whole head of hair now twist. Your hair, which the only thing that this kind of makes me think it wouldn't work as well, is if your hair is a little bit on the damper side. I feel like you're, just kind of rolling the wet hair together, whoa majestic i'm here to grant your wishes. What do you want? Okay, it looked like i just punched you. I was really just trying to grant you wishes with my hair and then from here on out you just capture the end. There you're supposed to really kind of start at one end of the charlie curl, instead of the middle. What we do now is roll it around like a spiral which, hopefully you guys can see what i'm doing. It is a little tricky to not kind of let the hair go really loose because look at that, i had it grabbed so tight and i feel like it's already like super loose, i'm just going to try and roll it really tight up against the scalp there And then swirl it around into a bun like shape. That is like pulling okay. That feels like more secure honestly, but i mean i guess, you're not supposed to like apply this and then like go to a headbangers ball or something they say you can put it in, of course, to like work at home or sleep, they do say like commuting Or if you're in a car or plane ride, so i don't know i'm kind of torn, i don't think i would like the curls as much using this method, because i think that they would come out looser. I think that they would come out like as tighter curls if i roll it up in the more traditional way. So, even though i am conflicted because i do feel like this is like in my hair decently nicely and ready to go, i think i should just take it out and test like the normal method instead and just see if we just use the product like as Advertised following their instructions, what kind of curls would we get whoa, although look? Ah, do i regret this? Oh, this looks kind of cool okay. Now i'm conflicted, and i kind of want to do my own method. Where i make like two unicorn horns, that's impossible. I would need like more hands but think about it. What if i did twist like hair one way and then twist it the other way, can i do this? If i come up with this and and we all like it, what can we call this? Like the magical, double helix of science, hair, that's a catchy name, let's see, if i can do this feel like my hair - is just about even and i'm gon na twist, i'm trying to twist it really tight, because, obviously i know when i let it go. It'S probably gon na lose a lot of the twist, but i have a little clear elastic thing, so i'm gon na try and see that's, that's literally not gon na do anything i might have to use my armpit because i'm thinking, if i pinch the hair, what Happens now: okay, we tried it my way, we're going back to the instructions. Hey, it's good, it's good to just try things your own way. You know that's how invention is born and also many mistakes happen so to the original method. Here all the way to the end, and now we begin the roll that see these earrings, you guys consistent stumbling blocks for this process. That'S why the unicorn thing - i guess, worked better on me because it's like i had my hair gathered in a ponytail before i started. Okay, i have that, like really tight, see it's when we get to this, then what then, what charlie curl they just see twist ends to secure. If i did that this would like fall out immediately, i'm trying to like wrap it in a doughnut. This is not working mate, god it's tighter, but it just wants to like fall. I don't even understand it's painful. This way. Look at that. Oh yeah, there's like no way to like secure this bun to your head. Do you see what i'm saying like? That'S really the problem, because i thought i could just leave this in all day and do stuff, but, like i can't live life like this okay, i think we've got to just try the unicorn thing and i'm sorry i'm sorry. This is just this. Video is chaos. Okay, i feel like i probably should have just filmed this because honestly, i think, like with anything practice, makes more something something that more resembles perfect, but i feel like this is livable. I don't think it's placed in perfectly, so this is the unicorn technique that i just showed you guys and to get it clamped in here. I honestly tried to just like roll it in a bun type thing and really just like pinch. The ends together and like pull them around my head. I think i just basically like tied a metal knot. This is gon na, be so much fun to remove later. They say that two to three hours usually gives really nice curls overnight. Is you know the best? It produces tighter, more dynamic curls, but they say 30 minutes is all you need. If you just want to give your hair like a little bit more balance, volume, lift curls whatever you want to say, or they say you can use it like. If your hair is already curled - and you just want to refresh your existing curls, that you've done - i don't know maybe like two day hair or something you can do that as well. So i'm not gon na leave it in overnight, but i might leave it in for roughly the equivalent of like seven or eight hours just so. We can see what it ultimately looks like i'm gon na, be you know just running around living life today. I think i'm gon na actually be filming another video and i don't know, maybe doing a little cleaning drinking a lot of coffee. I don't know it's january in the middle of the plague, there's not much going on in life, but whatever i do do today. I will have my hair wrapped up like this all right i wanted to pop in and do a little check-in. It'S been a little bit over an hour since i put this in. I think i popped it in right around two in the afternoon and it is now 3 17, so um. I just decided to go out and take a nice little joy ride in the sunshine merrily on my way to nowhere in particular, it's actually like 76 degrees outside today. It is so nice and so pleasant, and i just kind of wanted to put it to the test like what happens. If i you know, go out, expose this guy to wind, you know and i'll do another check-in in a couple of hours. Okay, i am back and it is 8 30. I think oh 8, 30 literally 8, 30 and i've done a lot of stuff. Since i checked in with you guys last actually um. I took a nap because this thing it is starting to drive me crazy. Just a little bit - and let me tell you my friends, that's a very short drive, so uh dogman and i actually just discovered that fact or fiction actually the whole show, i think, is called beyond belief, fact or fiction. I don't know whether you would call it like sci-fi or just weird, just weird, just weird tv from like the mid-90s. They present like five stories and then at the end they tell you like which ones are true, which ones are false and they're all just crazy. Incredible beyond belief, type stories but you're supposed to just like make a little note of which ones you think are real or fake and then at the end, they're, like guess what that boy did just go into a closet and never come out of the closet. I there's an episode like that. Like a boy thinks there's a monster in the closet and he goes in the closet and then he disappears, and that is somehow meant to be a true story. Help me out with that. I don't know so yeah. I took a nap for about two hours and really just like laid down with a pillow behind this thing to take the pressure off of my head and my neck, because it starts to get very heavy and just like the consistent like movement of it. All. It'S not pleasant, and then i made a coffee with a brand new coffee creamer that is hershey's caramel. So it's supposed to be like chocolate, caramel and it's pretty good, not as good as the cinnamon toast crunch coffee creamer, but it's it's pretty good, so um yeah now i'm sitting here. I really would like to take it off. I think i you know what i think we're at that time. I put it in, i think around two. So that's like six hours. I don't know you guys like it's. It'S honestly, it's just like cramping, my style. It'S really giving me a headache, and i wanted to sit down and do my makeup, but i like for my makeup to match my hair style that doesn't really make any sense but yeah. I kind of don't know how this is going to turn out in the interest of being 100 truthful. I did put the hair dryer on it just a little bit, because i'm hoping that this is going to do like kind of anything. It still feels like kind of damp. Maybe it's a little bit more dry now. I really did only put the dryer on it for about like five minutes truthfully, just because i was like okay, i don't want to sit here like this all day. Let'S go ahead and just see what we've got here. Hopefully you guys aren't too disappointed, but this is one of those weird things where it started out and i was like: oh, i don't feel a thing. This is. This is gon na, be a cake walk if it didn't flop around honestly. It wouldn't be bad and that's why i have this bandana around my neck by the way, not just like yeehaw, i thought like. Maybe if i like, tried to tie a bandana around it. Like i could just keep it more compact that didn't work out either so i don't know. Oh my god, i look like the witch. I look like the vacuum witch from hocus pocus. Oh my god. Look at that, although what kind of witch wears like brown flannel, you know me, i'm the flannel witch, also don't you feel like flannel is just exclusively for the months of like september to january god. Now, i'm, like i'm gate keeping flannel. You guys look at this. What a gift - let's just unwrap this like a bizarre little present, uh! Okay, i don't know - i was like kind of hopeful - also looks like a big tangly mess, so oh, my god, okay, but that is kind of funny. Ah, look at that. It'S like my hair is forever bonded together in this fashion, so i am gon na be honest. Uh, this part is still feeling pretty moist. Oh no. This is like basically tied into a knot here at the bottom. I'M gon na just try and gently separate it. Okay, let's scoot the chair, look at that what you guys this is kind of crazy. Oh, my god! Let me tell you when i am saying i'm stunned, i'm stunned! Look at that! Oh my god! Okay! I was literally about to just come here and be like. Yes, it's a flop, but look at that here is the truth of the matter. Some parts definitely look tighter and i think that is because i do have some shorter layers in my hair. So i think that maybe i was just like more tightly wrapping the shorter layers or something or they got better wrapped or they got drier faster. I don't know i don't know why some little pieces look better than other pieces and then it's kind of like the curls on this side. I think look a lot better versus the curls on this side. The only other issue that i have with products like this is, i still feel like to really get the style that i prefer. I would have to either pull my hair up in a ponytail, so, like the top part of my hair, wouldn't really look curly anyway. That makes sense, um or i would have to take out like my clipless curler and try and like curl, the top of my hair. But that's just me. I generally don't like, like when my curls, you know only start at like ear level and beyond, like i like my curls, to be like, as if my hair was naturally curly, which i wish it was to be honest, how about a back view. So hopefully you guys can see now what the entire back looks like. Overall, i unfortunately still don't think i would gravitate towards this product just because, like the actual like having it in my hair process did feel quite uncomfortable. I am glad to see that there's really only like literally one piece of hair that seemed to get pulled out by this thing, because that's the unfortunate trade-off that i feel like you get sometimes with these heatless curling products is like you're, not gon na damage. Your hair with heat, but how much are you potentially like breaking or pulling out your hair from having like a giant like hair bump on your hair, like kind of pulling all day long because no joke like, even if i would look down to like, send a Text message or look at something on my phone. If i was like sitting up - and i wasn't laying down like that, hair thing would just like flop forward and it was like just not comfortable at all and it really felt like it was pulling on my hair. To the extent that i was scared. I might be breaking it so yeah. Overall, i am impressed. I really didn't think that the curls would turn out this good like this is super impressive, see now, i'm thinking if i would have done the double unicorn horn science helix, it probably would have turned out a lot better because really, if i could have just like Gotten like this amount of curl, somehow on this side of my head as well, that would have been perfect. Then i feel like i would have just had to add like a little bit of curl up here and i could have called it a day. I feel like my favorite kind of heatless curl method still to date is the octo curl, which we tested out. I think like a half a year ago or something this thing is truly amazing, and it's kind of like that hack, that i've seen a ton of people do lately where they take a um bathrobe like the robe tie and like wrap it in their hair and, Like braid, their hair around a bathrobe tie, it's kind of like that, but i like this one better than this one. I hate to say this one is just more comfortable and it's probably just because, like your hair is still like falling down. If that makes sense, like you, you're not trying to like keep the entire weight of your hair, plus the gadget like stacked on your head, there is my two cents about the charlie curl, probably if you had a little bit shorter hair or if you just planned On putting it in and then literally going to sleep, you'd probably be fine. It'S just because i tried to like do this. While i was awake and just like pretty much do stuff all day that it started to not feel so great but anyway 25. I got it on amazon for some reason and only had like a three out of five star rating. I don't know why, like. I would definitely give this thing at least four and a half stars out of five. It does give you some pretty dang impressive curls and it works so yeah i feel like the last thing i want to do is just put it in a ponytail and see what that looks like. Oh, that's, it's kind of cute yeah. Okay, i like that. Oh and i'm starting to notice, like remember a million hours ago, where i pointed out how i had a lot of those little like fly away hairs down here and i was like i don't know if this is hair breakage or if it's baby hairs, and i Think can confirm a hundred percent hair breakage, because i started to like just put my hair up and all the little baby. Hairs are literally just the length of like right here, where i consistently put my hair into like a ponytail or a sassy bun, but anyway, that is it for today. Let me know all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments down below. Do you prefer heatless curls? Is that, like a big deal to you, i kind of never understood like the problem, necessarily with like using heat or a hair dryer on your hair? I think if you use like a heat, protectant spray or you're, not just doing it like every day, i don't think it's like that harmful, but maybe there is something in this world that i am missing.
