My Favorite Heatless Method Yet... Octocurl - Kayley Melissa

Everyone Kayla your friendly neighborhood hairstylist here and today I am creating some heatless curls with this spaghetti monster device. Uh-Huh. This thing helps you to curl your hair, and I want to see if that's very awful. This is the octo curl, it's made of microfiber and it's basically a headband, and you have eight little sets of towels hanging down to wrap your hair around and the reason that it's cool is you could braid your hair into these? You can wrap it around both you can wrap it around one. You can Bunch two sets together and wrap it around. Basically, you can create hypothetically any kind of curl or wave with this thing, so I want to test this out and see how the new Shorthair one works. I'Ve tried the long hair one before and I actually really liked it when I had long hair. So I'm gon na make Anna try that one out I have been preparing for this moment. I love this thing and every time I see it, I'm like what in the world is this, so I'm very excited to try it out. Yours is fancy yeah. So this is the original one. Oh gee, I can tell it's a little left. Yours looks more like fluffier, it's brighter, it's got an adjustable band, yours doesn't well, let's get our hair wet yeah, let's get our hair wet and test this out. Oh, I forgot to mention that it comes in this cute little pouch, there's a ton of information on their website and their YouTube channel on how to use this. You can see it on different hair types from straight to kinky coily, and I love that alright, so heatless curls. Ideally your hair is 80 % dry. Just so that drying time is minimized right. What do you feel like doing I'll? Try the braided way. I think. Okay, so then, if you want to do the beachy waves, this is the diagram for you. You'Re gon na use the two pieces together, mm-hmm, and then you braid with that as one of your pieces. Alright, so I guess first things. First of all, we'll do Anna Laura's, so here's one thing is that I think you don't want it to sit as far back in the bath, so it's almost like you got ta. Put it up here and put this part down here. Oh that's, fun! Remember the thing that we learned with Sheila's curls: we always have to brush our sections first. I think that applies to all hair types, because it's angled and you put it on the thing you get tangled pieces, yeah all right. So I was putting this Institute. I was like where's, my third section: it's it's the octave everything's. Okay, I feel like this doesn't start until pretty late. I'M gon na do something else up here. Okay, so you can also just elevate it to the spot. You want it to be, and it's harder to do when you're, like all tall and stuff. I'M sorry help me. I'M short, I'm just gon na tell you. You got a braid, pretty tight to get my hair to fit on this thing. Yes, ma'am cuz. I ran out of room, I'm thinking cuz your ends get pretty wispy. I might just like wrap the last little bit around. Oh, I like that guess what I finished this that I forgot how you're supposed to secure it. At the end, they have little elastics to help you do it huh, okay, okay, remember now, a little bit can tell it's my handbook so you've kind of fold this over and then you take things like it's a bunny tail holder and you just wrap it around And you just make sure that the end isn't caught and it's not and you're not Wow. It'S number one. I'M just gon na redo this part up here and see. If there's anything, I can do I'm trying to move the hair almost horizontally across as much as I can okay yeah. So if you try to move the hair horizontally as much as possible, if they don't have a little fit, they do also make an extra long. One which should probably be better for my life yeah, that's funny cuz, we looked at it and we were like. Oh it's, probably fine yeah. I didn't think my hair was that long, but he loved it. So this is probably the less intuitive ones. As far as like wrapping hair around right well, I will help you finish it up, though: sweet yeah, full disclosure it's actually morning right now, and so we're filming this to show you guys how we're doing it and then we're gon na be redoing it tonight before We go to bed, yes, Keeley's got ta, go get her hair color, so you know florentine life, obviously everything's gon na be safe. I'M gon na be wearing a mask the whole time. Everybody'S sanitizing, like it's crazy in there. I got my color done last week and no rona anywhere gon na see me putting my hair on it. One color and then I'm gon na show you the results and it's gon na be another color, it's magic. The octo Crows gives you high light hypothetically. You could put two sets together, so you have four pieces and you're breeding around them and that would use up more hair. So you would have a problem with the links and it would make the waves a little bit larger eraser, which might be a move as well, and obviously you have less braids to do. Then. You know what you could hit this with a hair dryer for like ten minutes and see if you want oh yeah I'll, do that that felt like a marathon. Okay, let's do my hair now, so this advice didn't apply to Ana loris cuz. She was doing waves, but because I'm doing curls, what I'm gon na do just for the sake of the finished product is actually part. My hair, on the opposite side, to what I normally do and when I wrap this section on the octo curl, I'm gon na wrap it toward my face that way. It sits like this all night and then in the morning. I can flip it over and it's all nice. It goes away from my face and it's more lifted than if it was to sit like this all night. You feel all right. Let'S try it out. I have not tried out this short one. Yet so, let's see, I know that last time when I used the one that Anna Laura just used, I was using things to make this as tight as possible. So I've got it all the way tight and I think that works, because you see that it's it's like up here, really high, which is what I want, because I want the curls to start really high and I want to create a little bit more of a Wavy curl take my large section here, brushing it out putting this back where full, okay, the microfiber, grabbed my hair. Let'S try this again so far so good and we're gon na wrap this toward my face. This looks nuts right now, but twisting hairs I wrap it. Should hopefully create a little bit more of a wave alrighty? I got my first one in that. Wasn'T too bad. Maybe I was wrong with this whole two sets. I don't know if that will work for my length of hair. Sorry, I have to change my mind. Cuz, I think I actually can't do the big chunks - that's probably what it turned out, which is really pretty look at that. Oh, that's, a nice little wave yeah. So what I did was I twisted the hair, as I put it on the curling iron. Okay, like that, you look like you use the waver, so NLRA hit it with a hair dryer just to go ahead and try to set things just to see generally and so we're on the right track. Yeah - and I like it, I think there's some of this - that would be more uniform when I let it fully dry overnight. It'Ll be great mm-hmm all right. Well, then, I don't feel like I should spoil any more of it, but we love. Yes, we love it all right here we go just as easy, actually a little easier because you're not pulling so much hair into one location. There we go. Oh I'm excited for this. That'S gon na look! So pretty I'm gon na try to pull this band forward. Now and for these sections, obviously we have a lot of vertical space to cover. We'Ve got from the band to the bottom of my hairline, so pick it up brush it directly out, so I can get it all together as much as possible, pull it up as high as I can, because I want this wave to start higher all righty again. The top sections have been super easy, I'm mostly wondering about the back. Okay. Now for the back, let's see what I can do so we've got our section. This doesn't feel quite as graceful Wow not to spoil the review tomorrow. I think what I'm gon na do and I wrap it up tonight, just put in a little like frizz controlling product yeah. I thought to say I always recommend not just because you don't have to hot plates, putting all your hair into line. So you'd want to give it all the extra hydration and silken ink that you can. That makes sense we'll see you tomorrow, but I think it'll just be a lot more like defined tomorrow and I'm pretty sure this will probably fall a little bit because I didn't let it like. I didn't get it super wet and I didn't let it fully fully dry, but if you want to do experiment, I'm like oh, I wonder what the braid would look like. It'S true it. You can do like a test, curl yeah, so it would have to be your whole head. I only have one piece left: I'm almost done flying yeah. You do have short hair. You have the little baby pieces at the nape of your neck. That fall out. My general thoughts on those is that you can't see them the rest of the hair covers it. So don't worry about him if they fall out, but you could also hypothetically. I didn't even think about this, but you could do this like we did with the rope. Curls, where you like kind of French around, like you, keep picking up new hair and that's one way that you could did the base of it. Let me do a quick little demo of that cuz. I think I have just decided. That'S what I'm you think. That'S a good idea when I took mine out one of these on this side that you had done like one of these going like up there yeah it's a little weird. I mean it calms down, but I think that's a good way to do it, though short hair. Can everyone see you pick up your section and you wrap it and then pick up a little bit more hair right below it? Mm-Hmm wrap it and I guess it might be helpful to like start on one side and then like section this hair and clip it out of the way, if it's overwhelming that it will probably help you use the whole piece. All right like attach your head down. Yeah it lives there now yeah. You could just do that in the back. If you want and then the side pieces, because I'm a side sleeper so I'll probably like put these up tonight right, then these are all against your head. So it's not so bad that Leon loved it alright! Well, there's the rule! Well, there's how I'm going to put it in tonight. That'S what you're gon na do tonight, we'll see horns out in the morning so far so prom, I'm very excited. It'S gon na be really really nice and Kaylee will have beautiful. Highlights from this highlights not included all right, y'all, I'm already late for my equipment, so I II, okay, hello next morning, good morning, I didn't film. Putting these in last night. Did you I didn't either, but we can talk you through? Let'S recap: real quick. I did this when I was like half awake. He took me like less than 10 minutes. I don't know yeah, okay, how about you? I was pushing the clock. I was pretty sleepy putting it up. It did end up taking me probably 20 to 25 minutes to braid. All of these I got it all in. I ended up using just leaving from kenra the revive company. I use the lone cry out. Blow-Dry no surprise, and I use this living proof nourishing styling all right. Well then, this morning, when I woke up, I took a little sneak peek and I realized that, instead of wrapping, these curls kind of like candy canes, like you see here, where there's like a face, I'm not in real close kind of like Anna Laura's are yeah. I know, but why not think about that? But because my hair is real short too, they were just like really boingy all right. So, like a temple yeah, it was a few hours ago, so I decided to rewrap all these guys, girl, ow, I mean there's volume in there. I feel my roots being lifted away from my head, which I love also like. This is perfect for you. There isn't a ton of root, that's like great and then into the curl. That'S a big problem. I have a lot of time with heatless curls, and this is just like it was perfectly. I didn't quite get my slip section, perfect cuz. This should be on this leg, but it's great toward my face yeah so like I would fix that. Also, you have to give it a little bit of leniency. Cuz, they just got highlighted. That'S true. This is freshly bleached, hair yeah he's looking good for that. Honestly, like I like the kind of tight curly wave yeah, I think maybe next time I try it. I couldn't quite do four cuz. It was not enough sections, I felt right, but I think I could do three and then I would get five sections are on my head with one extra little guy, just chillin yeah. It looks like you have a lot of control over the curl shape. That'S true, which is rare, very rare, with heatless curls. I really like this yeah me too. Well how many hitless things have I tried that did not look good, so many, but Oh once you've done with me, I've worked out really well. We need to start getting crazier yeah. We do so we've seen mine great to see yours, yeah Wow, oh they're, very short hit it with the hairdryer, we'll take all this out, we'll look at it and then we could redo it really, quick. Okay, I think I'm gon na pull up the heat. Just for like a couple pieces. Let me go grab a curling iron, real, quick, okie dokie, so I realized that I don't have smaller irons that have a clip on them. So I purchased a 3/4 inch 1/2 inch and a 1/4 inch from Amazon. I don't know if these are gon na, be any good, but we're gon na find out. They were very inexpensive but had good reviews. So maybe this one's 3/4 inch. I think it will work perfectly. I feel as though the curl overall has relaxed a slight bit since I took it out, which I don't mind whatsoever. That is my hair's mo really for the heat. I only feel the need right here cuz. If I look at this - and I take this part out - I like it and then if I take this part out, I think I probably also need to do this because this part looks a little crazy. So that's all I really need to do and to me, if you do a heatless hairstyles only need to touch up two or three pieces saves you time and saves you heat. It saves you damage on your hair and I think in that case it's okay to use a little heat. This cord is not long. How am I gon na make this work? You think extension cord would be the answer, but I don't have an extra one. I make it just barely turn it on. Alright degrees are in Fahrenheit. This little display plate is a little bit uh wobbly, and now it heats up. So I think, with products I just want to add some definition, a little bit of separation and peace eNOS. I don't feel like, I need to add shine, there's actually some decent shine there already. I hear it's doing good things alright, and this has already heated up. So I'm doing my faux waves technique with this three quarter inch iron and it's giving me a really similar. Look which is cool because then I have the method to match this heatless, but also - and lets me know that this is a heatless way to do the same thing that I was doing with this. It'S really exciting. Alright, now that I've smooth that I can tell that the ends are a little bit silly on some of these, so I'm just pointing to like drag it over we're gon na. Do more of that, not so much that that was too much. That was too much happy medium. Happy medium. There we go happy medium is achieved same thing over here. Oh I remember. I wanted to fix this one part up here. It just looks a little flattened and weird, so I'm just gon na do one little curl at the base and that's it we're not putting heat on the rest of the hair, we're just using that to disrupt the funny little. That was happening. I feel like because this is loosening up a little bit here. She goes last piece. I promise gon na stop everything, so I'm gon na hit it with some of this Bumble and Bumble sumo liquid, wax finishing spray. I love it. I'M gon na hit it with some hairspray just to make sure all right. I'M back can't believe this is Heelys that looks so good. Alright, okay, take mine now, so I can stop him crazy whoa. This one looks pretty cuz she's a nice big. I was thinking that when I sectioned all of my hair I was like. I don't need this many sections, but I could definitely see how someone with like a lot of hairs on their head. That makes a lot of sense all right, princess angel mermaid, I'm literally gon na need a crown on top, though, because well, that's why you you flip your hair to one side, this is fine wow. This is more like pulling it apart, then like picking it apart. I'M using a single finger, we don't want to activate frizz pick your side, choose your character, whoa, okay, seeing less helmet. He already. I like it's like very out of the norm for me, but I really like it. I'M definitely gon na need to touch these things. Wow see my little hairstylist brain, I'm like I see it, I see it. I see it we're so close. I see it alright. What do you see? Well, mostly I'm seeing that the ends are throwing everything off and making it look even tighter, so I'm gon na do a little bit of this from my faux natural waves, video, oh yeah, see that yep. Oh, that does look a lot better. Once we like tone down the hairiness yeah, I think that'll be it. You want to try this side sure I need why. Oh wow, oh yeah, okay, look at me! I like it. I like that it's different textures like it's, lighter and then looser. Are you actually? I don't really like this all right, I'm taking a little bit of kenra hair texturizing, Cathy over your ends. Oh, I love the smell of it. Pieces look really straight at the end. Okay, compared to the other side, let me pull the half-inch curler for it. I think that might be more indeed we're going for perfection now with tools anonymous yeah. I just want to be a girly girl. You do the curly method, you can. I love it all right, yeah. I think we stopped there done, I'm plugging it. Okay, that is the octo curl. I loved it girl. That is better some crazy results. Can you tell okay, so I think we did have to redo some of the Anna's pieces. A couple of times cuz. I was using the wrong size, curling iron, but once we got that it was literally like 90 percent heat, I mean 90 percent heatless University and then I would say mine was like 95 90 %. Heatless like these are better results, especially in the back. Then I get with the curling iron and it was heatless. It looks really good in the back like every piece of hair is hair. I know a lot of times. You skip the bottom line, cuz you're like oh! No. What do you sees it? But now I'm like: well, maybe they do like. I don't know this good. I'M really into this, though, like this is a curl that you love it and you would be able to do this again and especially, if you didn't have to like go through your entire morning, routine with it in or whatever better it would be. It was great. I love how like versatile. It is, though, the fact that, like this same tool, I mean mine was longer, but the same tool can get you such a wide variety of heatless curls. I feel like you, do not get that kind of control over crow. Often that's true, especially with one device ya know, that's insane, that's not like. We have like a thousand curling irons to get all of these different results. That'S true also. I did do like a traditional like spiral curl that you get kind of with like the Rope. I method right back in 2018 when I first bought this. So I'll put those pictures up here really cute really great could totally do that. But I love the results here. Yeah and it also works on pretty much every hair type, I think actually for people whose hair is naturally stick straight and doesn't like to curl heelas curls tend to work a little bit better because here's my theory, okay, oh here we go hair school. Let'S go typically when you have a hard time curling your hair is because your cuticle layer is really thick and robust and healthy, which is good. That'S why my hair used to not curl until I put bleach on it down the cuticle layer, and now I hold the curl. So it's for the heat from a curling iron to get all the way into your hair and make those changes in the hydrogen bonds. But the same thing that happens when you use a curling iron happens when you get your hair, wet and then dry, oh and the water doesn't have any trouble getting through your tutor goal: wow wow science, and then I've also seen this used on people with, like 3A through 4c hair - and it's super good on those hair types as well, because you can either use it to get like a stretch out or twist out or whatever, and it just it's a lot more control and a whole heatless thing. I think that we're finding across the board right, but I like that you can definitely look up, no matter where your hair type is. You can see this being using. That'S just always something that we love to shout out way to go. Octo curl way to be like the most universal hair tool. Ever I mean I feel like a QVC commercial at this point, cuz I'm real sold on it whenever we like something, I'm always like. Oh people are gon na think it's Pontic, I'm sponsored not sponsored at all. It'S $ 25, hey it's cheaper than most curling iron, yeah. Okay, do yourself a favor and get you one of these yeah? It'S your spaghetti monster for your head. I promise you. You will look insane when you have it in, but it's so beautiful at the end. I expected it to go well. It went better than I thought it went way better than Ikes. Her hair looks so good you're going to the beach that's gon na. Be such a babe, I'm gon na bring this thing with me. Scott you're gon na have to get over sorry, it's my new life. I have to recommend this product if you are trying to get into heatless curls, if you already love them whatever it's not expensive, it works well, there's so much versatility, and so many tutorials so yeah again really the world is your oyster, not sponsored at all.
