You all know that we love posting no-heat curls tutorials from time to time! This one is inspired by a rag curls technique our grandmothers may have used when they were young. My own grandmother used to do them!
Rather than used a cut up t-shirt, we decided to use something just as effective, but something you would definitely have around the house... paper towels!
Feel free to tag your own photos of this hairstyle with: #CGHPaperTowelCurls
These work nicely, because they wick excess moisture from the hair to help hold the curl. My girls wear them to sleep, but for this video we filmed the before and after the same day, after about 5-6 hours at home. {If you want to expedite the process, you can choose a hairdryer on low heat.}
These curls are beautiful and voluminous. They are perfect as is, or as a base for a hairstyle combination with braids, buns, twist backs, etc. You can also get about 2-3 days worth of curls/waves by doing this!
Enjoy!
xoxo
Mindy

Hey guys, I am Mindy from CuteGirlsHairstyles, and today I have a roll of paper towels.. I bet you're wondering what on earth I'm going to do with paper towels in hair. You are going to find out Because I was sitting around the other day, thinking about how, when I was young, my grandma used to do rag curls in my hair, where you would roll rags up in the hair, and it dawned on me that a great way To do it without having to cut up t-shirts would be to use strips of .... You got it ... paper towels. So I'm going to show you how to do this great ``, no-heat'' tutorial today. Ok now Brooklyn has joined us and, as you can see, I've gone ahead and done most and the curls in her hair. I think it would have ..., I would say, on a hair like hers, and she has quite thick hair and it's very long like almost down to her waist. They. It would take about 30 minutes to fill these, but, of course, it's gon na depend on the length and thickness of your own hair, which I just wan na mention quickly you're going to have to use this technique and then adjust according to your hair type, Brooklyn's Hair holds curl really well, and I rolled them way up tight today, just because I wanted you to see how curly the curls can be, but normally with Brooklyn. We might start them like half way down and then just have it curly at the ends so that it's not quite so tight at the top. So if your hair holds curl really well, you might wan na start them lower. If your hair is more straight, pull them up tighter and then they'll loosen throughout the day So .... Here we go We're gon na start by just taking a piece and I'm doing like maybe a one inch section and you're going to take your spray bottle. If your hair is not already damp and just spritz it just lightly so that it is damp and then ... just make sure, there's no funky hairs in there. You are going to take your paper towel and we've done a paper towel sheet just in fourths. So this is 1/4. You can see that we didn't like make them perfect, we've just kind of torn them. And then I'm going to take it ... and I'm rolling upwards, but you can do upward or downward, but whatever you do just stick with the same thing. So you can see I'm taking the ends from the bottom and looping it up. Over-The-Top., I'm going to do that a couple times to secure those ends, And then I am just going to roll the rest of the hair up that strand Like this. Until we get to wherever you're stopping point is Whatever you are comfortable with your hair type, and then we are just literally going to tie it like you would a shoelace and you can't pull too tightly or it will rip the paper towel.. So you just let it sit. So I'll show it to you again. Take a piece of hair spritz it if it's not already damp. Take a paper towel Like I said, I'm rolling upwards, Secure those ends And then go ahead and roll the remaining hair up as high as you want it to be Tuck the ends tie it in a knot.. Now bonus features about doing this versus rag girls. You don't have to have the rags right, because you can just use paper towels., You don't have to cut up a t-shirt or something like that. Also another perk to doing curls like this would be that the paper towels have a little bit of absorbency to them. So as your hair is drying and has a little dampness to it, the paper towels help to kind of wick that away, which is great and their easy to get your hands on and use and they're super soft to sleep on, tie it in a knot and When you have them all set, then you can of course, either put them under a dryer hood or use a blow dryer to dry them or .... My favorite is just sleep on them overnight, so the next morning you can take them out and they look amazing. Later that day, ... We've gone ahead and let Brooklyn's hair dry for most the day and we are going to take them out now.. So when you take them out just because their paper towels, you can untie them, You can even just kind of tear them and they'll just come out. So this is the curls. As they came out, you can see. We'Ve got just tons of nice, beautiful curl to play some of these on top ended up. Maybe if I did it again, I would do just a little bit bigger pieces just so they didn't end up quite so small, but it just varies on the hair and how you want it to look and how tight you wan na. Do it and I'm just going to separate a little bit just so it doesn't look like so like individual curls and it looks more curly all over. So when you have the curls all finished, then you can just go ahead and do whatever you want with them. Whether it is pull the sides back or do a fun lace, braid or some cute hair jewelry right here on the forehead running down or even just a little boho kind of Coachella-looking hippie headband would be really cute as well. And let's do the final spin Look at these gorgeous curls .... Look at that From paper towels. Can you believe it? No {, laughs }! I love it. Do you like it? Yes, I do. I think these are so pretty and I love love. Love, love. The volume in there but Brooklyn what would the producer of `` The View'' tell you with your hair like this, It's big and unfriendly: textured hair. That'S what he told me he said the camera was not friendly with my hair, Which was .... That was OK, Which is so funny because Brooklyn's hair is like my very, very, very favorite, It's so pretty and thick and full., But he made me switch to working on Bailey, which was really funny Or no. He made me switch to you. yeah because she was the better hairstylist., The better hair, apparently on camera.. So there you go ... one last spin.

I wish it could've come out like the video but instead it came out massively curly and it shrunk my hair to my shoulders ( my hair is down to my belly button ) so if anyone has a probably wear the curls come out too tight and shrink ur hair, I recommend using a thicker fabric like a tee shirt
