Hi, my beautiful friends, it's me me here today and today's hair tutorial is going to be on how to create this beautiful heat free waves that by using actually just paper towels. So I call them the paper towel waves. They look beautiful, effortless sort of like beachy waves and it's really easy to recreate them. All you're gon na need is paper towels and some hair elastics. So let's begin alright. So now, let's quickly go through all the tools you're going to need to create these paper. Towel curls and that's gon na be obviously paper towel roll and you want to use something. That'S stronger. Some of them are quite weak and will completely dissolve if you put water on them, so you just want to make sure to get something. That'S a bit more! Durable, that's number one you're going to need a hair brush you're going to need some hairspray and also you're gon na need a bottle that you're gon na fill with h2o water and also one more thing. One more thing: we're gon na need some hair elastics. So you just need a few of those as well and let's begin now, the first thing I'm gon na do is get my paper towel roll and just going to tell you a funny story about this. A few days ago I was talking to a friend and she asked me what hair tutorials I'll be doing this week. So I told her, I'm gon na be doing him, bunny, hair tutorial and also paper towel, curls and she's, like oh, that's, cool. So we're saying goodbye to each other that day and she's like good luck on the toilet paper curls, and I'm like why it's all toilet paper, girls with paper towel anyways. I thought it was really funny so yeah we're gon na grab the paper towel and what we're gon na do is take three sections, and I know it sounds a bit wasteful, but I promise you I'm gon na use these later in anything that would need paper Towel now, once I have the paper towel, what I'm gon na do is I'm gon na actually start folding it horizontally. So this way now once you've folded it. You should have something like this, so once you fold it the whole thing. What you're gon na do is again fold it in half and then the next step is we're gon na section, the hair. So let's move on to the hair and I'm only going to be doing four sections and that's why these ways are actually super easy. So I'll be working with my left first and I'm not gon na curl, my bangs, so I'm just gon na. Let them be! I'M gon na separate this section into two sections and I'll start with the back. Probably, and the first thing I'm gon na. Do I'm gon na spray it with some water just gon na spray it all over or sometimes what I do. I spray it in my hand, and then I just run my hand over that section and you want me here to feel them not too wet and you just want to make sure that's not dry either, because if it's dry, it's not gon na. You know the waveone really hold. What should I do with this section? We'Ll make a scarf doesn't really work like it, we'll push it back. In the meantime, I'm just gon na apply and reapply water until I feel like it's enough, so you just want the feeling of dampness, but you don't want it to be completely soaked either. Okay, so at this point I think I'm just gon na go in and add some hairspray and I'm adding hairspray so that it actually holds the weight. You can skip this part if you want to, but if you add the hairspray, it's definitely gon na hold the waves for longer alright. So I think it's perfectly damped. Now the next step, I'm gon na, do I'm gon na grab my paper towel and I'm gon na go over this section, so I'm gon na have kind of like three sections. So let's go like that. So I'm just gon na put the paper towel over the hair and then what I'm gon na do. I'M gon na grab this section of hair and I'm gon na create a figure, eight braid. So pretty much what I'll be doing? I'M gon na wrap this section around one side of the paper towel, bring it in the middle and then wrap it around the other side of the paper towel and then just bringing the section over so we're just going over the paper towel. Bringing this section back over the other side and do that all the way down until you run out of hair. Now, when you get to the bottom, what you're gon na do is grab a hair, elastic and just secure the paper towel and the hair in place. Now I'm going to grab the second section and do the exact same thing here, just gon na wet it first just put more on my hand and then put some hairspray and then, when it's done, I'm gon na grab my paper. Towel put it over this section and start doing the figure eight braid as well so again I'll, be taking my section, bringing it over the paper towel in the middle and then wrap it around the other section and continue this all the way down. And one thing you want to make sure that's why I looked at myself to look now is that the paper towels have to be ending kind of where the hair ends. It'S basically like doing a braid with paper towels and when I reach the bottom, I'm gon na do the same thing. I'M gon na grab it here elastic and just secure everything in place. Voila and now I'll be going to my right section and doing the exact same thing so I'll be working with two sections and I'm just gon na speed it all up. Now that I have all the sections braided there's a few options. Option number one is to go to sleep and wake up with waves. That'S an easy option. If you don't want a hassle or if you don't want to wait for it to dry option number two, you just get ready or you cook or clean the house do whatever you need to do. If you have a couple of hours to wait, then you can wait for your hair to dry, because I think it's gon na take at least an hour to for it to completely dry, especially if you have thicker, hair and option number three is the easiest option? Is the one I'm gon na be using today because I have to go somewhere, I'm just going to be using a blow-dryer on warm setting and I'm gon na quickly dry. This make sure not to use hot setting, because you don't want to set yourself on fire. Now I'm going to quickly dry my hair and then show you the ways I've dragged my hair for about 10 minutes with the blow-dryer, and now I can feel that it's dry. So it's time to take the paper towels out, I'm so excited to show you guys. Oh one more thing I wanted to mention is like it's really cool actually, because the paper towels take the moisture in it actually helps with the process of drying. So it will take you less than let's say if you use a piece of fabric to do this. So I would definitely recommend to use paper towels as opposed to some old fabric or a rag all right. So what I'm gon na do now is go into this elastic, pull it out and then just unravel my hair, and you will see it's a nice wave that is created by this method. Super cool, ok! So I'm going to go in to the next section and do the same thing now, I'm just going to take all of them out and show you what I have. So it's a really nice wave and the same thing on the right side. Now that I'm done taking out all the paper towels, what I'm gon na do is I'm gon na go with my hair wax and I'm just going to add a little more texture to my hair and the extensions. So I'm just gon na put it into my palms, rub them and then just go into the hair and scrunch it. This just adds more definition to the waves and then I'm gon na do the same thing on the other side. So it's really nice beachy waves. Alright, so once you've scrunch the hair you've pretty much done, you can go ahead and add hairspray. I personally been trying to use the less hairspray and less product in my hair, and I know I'm saying this now after I put like a whole bunch of wax in my hair, but I think this hairstyle can definitely hold with just a bit of hair wax Or hair pomade there's no really reason to put hair spray unless you're gon na go dancing or doing something fun where you're gon na be shaking in here a lot so yeah, that's pretty much done. I really love this hairstyle. It just takes ten minutes if you're gon na use bow dryer - or you can do this overnight. In any case, it's beautiful its heat free and it looks really really nice and effortless. Now, when you recreate these paper-towel always make sure to post your picture on instagram alexa, hair hashtag, i'd love to see how you here it turns out. Thank you so much for tuning in i love you guys and I'll see you next week, lots of kisses bye,

Chantal Lam: I LOVE your heatless curls tutorials and your other hairstyles too! My hair is pretty straight, thick and long and I don't really like using heat on it to much so I use your heatless tutorials all the time :) Thanks! ❤️❤️
Thivany McA: I'm so impressed with you and your creativity, Mimi! No clue how you come up with so many great ideas after such a long time of making hair tutorials on Youtube!
ruvi: Wow! Thank you so much, Mimi! I tried this out and it worked SO WELL! Stay beautiful! :)
Ana Jaimes: I did it yesterday and today everyone was saying that my hair looked so beautiful! Thanks Mimi!
Bethzaida Gonzalez: I love this! I'm definitely going to try this

Gaby Suryn: I LOVE HOW CREATIVE YOU ARE MIMI. There is no one like you on Youtube. I will try this sometime. Love you xxxxx
rosalynanna: I was just watching a rick-rack braid wave tutorial using hairpins the other day and thinking how cool it would be if you could loosen the wave effect - and you did exactly that and nailed it! Very creative, thank you!
Gloria Gilbert: Love this technique !!! Thanks, your ombré hair is pretty
Astha Garg: I love all the videos you make.i especially love your positive outlook about everything .thanks mimi for such beautiful hairstyles and inspiring life.
Nirmal Gaur: loved this, I tried it and i am obsessed with my hair. instead of two on each side I did three because my hair is thick. i also just kept the paper towels for the next time I do this and my hair is so soft, because, no heat!!
Mehak Azhar: Hey mimi! Your makeup looks amazing!!! Can u do a tutorial on it :)
Molly O'Keeffe: Love your heartless curls videos!! So helpful and your really pretty xxx
Alina Y: Love it can u do another everyday quick hairstyles tutorial?
Ellie Antonova: Hey Mimi :) First I want to congrat and thank you for all the great videos that you post ! I also wanted to tell you about a natural hairspray.. it is really great and it holds a lot. So you squeeze the juice of a lemon or half a lemon depends on how much you need and you add suger(as much as you need do make a paste kind of texture). so you leave it for about 5-7 min and then you apply it to your hair :) Good luck with your videos!
Stapha Charleme: That was totally brilliant, Mimi. Will be trying this trick soon!
Hiếu Dương: such an useful tutorial! Thank you so much! :-*

Amy Cho: Omg thank u for this method! I just did my hair and it looks awesome! My curls also look natural!
EzmeCM98: The point of the paper towels is to create loose waves. The paper towels are also a better idea then just wetting your hair and braiding it because for people with frizzy hair like me, it creates less friz. She also didn't say this was suppose to be less time consuming. Obviously it's going to take more time because your hair has to dry that's why she gave you three options. It's also obvious that a figure 8 braid is simular to a standard braid, doesn't mean you have to point that out.
Sasha Charlesworth: This hair style is so nice l I love your videos mimi. Your hair tutorials help me out a lot. Xx
KittyKatXOXO: I love how your so creative and actually spend your time to show us!

Alina Borodulia: thanks, Mimi!! definitely try this tonight.
Dmdm j: There is another way to achieve same look by sectioning your hair into 2 parts and do braids in both sides, but it might take more time to dry out. When I usually do this I do it at night and sleep with them, so next day I will have same look that u had :D
Miss L: I love the fact that you addressed the waste
joanna mascoll: It looks easy to do as well.
Céline P: This is awesome!!! Thanks for this vidéo!!

Ferry's Place: Mimi please can you make a heatless how to straight the hair I love all your videos❤️
Tabitha Ballington: this is like hair pin waves but with the paper towel to create loose waves instead of the tight waves that hair pins make :) cant wait to try it out! x
Rabia Siddiqui: LOL. I just did it and my hair looks so weird with the towels in it I can't wait to see the results tomorrow morning.
Blondie Capricciosa: Amazing! I have to try this!
Monta Ābele: god i wish i had as long hair as you do so beautifull!!

Chandana channa: This is a really cool hairstyle Mimi, thx!
Izzy Marin: I love the waves that you have made
Shazia: That's so beautiful!!!♥♥♥♥
Natalie Gisselle: If this helps any, for the people saying she's wasting paper, use a thin ribbon and braid it. It has the same effect. Blow dry the braids or sleep with them. Hope this helps.!!
Amaya Munoz: I have to try this the curls are so pretty
Marchewka: jesteś piekna i masz przepiekne włosy
Jenny Anderson: For those who r saying "you can just braid ur hair" yes you can buy these r an alternative and create loser curls :))

Liliana Rosati: Thx mimi I have tried it it amazing luv ya. Xx
katniss grace: her curls are perfection mine always turn out to be straight
melisa: or you can save yourself the mess and buy rollers that are bendable and similar to that for like 4 dollars and you can reuse them. the papertowels are just going to go to waste
