Nurse Dani at IntermountainMoms was able to help me this last week know when we should take CGH#1 to the doctor after she fractured her wrist during gymnastics... she saved me approx $150 for an x-ray that would have been too early to tell! {It is fractured, BTW. *sad*} They are also giving away a ton of stuff every day, so I, of course, entered the giveaway!
Feel free to tag your own photos of this hairstyle with: #CGHCocoonCurls
This week's hairstyle is sure to be a popular one, since so many women, moms, and teen girls are reluctant to use too much heat in their hair. The challenge with no heat, is how do you obtain gorgeous curls without heat?
Well, we have already shown you how to create No-Heat Headband Curls:
And we have shown you how to create No-Heat Sock Curls:
...but here we show you a very interesting, yet easy way to get voluminous curls without heat! It uses a technique we call "Cocooning," yes, cocooning as in a caterpillar turning into a butterfly! {We originally learned this curl from http://www.youtube.com/beautyklove, so be sure to check her out.}
This technique only provides the curl on the bottom half of the hair, so I find that a headband or hat is the perfect accessory for this hairstyle! The curls also last for a few days, so you can combine these curls as a 2nd or 3rd day 'do using any of our accent braids, twists, etc!
Enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, bandana, hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 15-20 minutes

-Hey everyone. I'm Mindy from Cute Girls, Hairstyles and tonight --, because it's evening here -- we are going to do a no heat. Curl tutorial called cocoon curls. OK. Everyone keeps calling them cocoon --. I mean Cancun. -- I mean --, oh my gosh, I'm so confused. -Cocoon. -Cocoon curls., That's terrible. OK.. So this is how you start. We're going to just take a section of hair and I'm going to just light like half of her hair, maybe 2/3 of it up, so that I can work with just this underneath hair right, here. And she just recently washed her Hair and it's air dry., So we're going to have to add a little moisture back in to our curls.. Now remember when you're doing no heat curls, the worst thing you can do is over wet your hair.. So if you're, starting with wet hair, make sure to let it air dry for a little while til it's at least half dry before you do this. Or if it's dry, you can just add a little spritz of water.. So we're going to take a section. And I don't like them too small. The smaller the section, the smaller the curls.. We did this one time and we used teeny teeny, tiny curls and she ended up with like this -- -My hair was like poof. --, crazy, crazy hair.. So we're going to go for bigger sections here., So I'm going to twist it. Now here comes the tricky part.. Take two fingers lay them on top of the hair and you're going to go like that. And don't worry if it starts un-twisting., That's OK.! You'Re going to just re-twist it., So you crossed it over and under. And then you're just going to wrap it around itself. And you can re-twist as you go.. Don'T worry I'll show you again., Don't panic. And when you get to -- depends on the hair length.. You need at least like two inches., Then you're going to stick it between those two fingers pull those fingers back. Through.. Ok, so can you see this little loop? I just created. You do not want to pull it all the way through.. You still want. Those ends. Popping out. And then you're just going to slide the whole thing down see, So you want a little loop, but you still want the ends out on that original side., And this is why. I'll show you., Because in the morning when we take them out. This is what we're going to do. We're going to grab that end., We're going to give it a tug. And voila the whole thing unwraps and will create a beautiful curl. Of course, after we've, let it sit overnight.. So I'll show you one more time. Twist the section fingers on top. Hair over. Just give it a little twist as you roll it over and over and over until you're, about two inches away from the bottom.. Maybe two and a half. Slide the whole cocoon down., And it really is tight., It's very secure. And you're good to go. And we're going to do our next cocoon.. So do it again. As fast as I can. Hurry hurry hurry. Twist the hair. Two fingers on top. Roll it over into the right. Twist it. Twist it. And then see on this one. I can't quite make it all the way around.. So I'm just going to end it right there. Give it a tug down. Create the cocoon.. No, it doesn't knot the hair.. It doesn't damage the hair., It's totally fine.. So then I'm going to take the next, maybe third of her hair.. Again, I'm going to have you hold this., Flip it over. And we're going to just take our next section.. I think I'll only do two again here.. So while I'm doing this I'll tell you a funny story. Tell them what happened.. So my husband and I were recently on a vacation in Hawaii. And while we were there, we got a phone call. Tell them. -I just came out of gymnastics and I had fallen while doing a trick in gymnastics, and I fractured my wrist. And it wasn't a Very fun phone call because I was in pain. -So she calls. And she's, crying of course. And really upset. And she's. Like Mom. I broke my wrist.. I think I broke it.. The teacher thinks I have a hairline fracture., So the bad news was that --. Of course we were in Hawaii., So we aren't here to help take care of her. And the person that was helping take care of her poor babysitter had to deal with it all., But we had just switched insurance., So it was all like new insurance. And it Was kind of a hassle. And I heard that hairline fractures don't show up on x-rays for a while., I'm going to just cut into the story for a sec.. I just finished two more.. Now I'm going to go to the remaining hair., So I didn't know whether or not to take her in to the doctor right away, because I had heard hairline fractures don't show up for a while on x-ray.. But of course you don't want to pay a bunch of money to go in and then have them tell you. You have to come back., So I had had this friend that had told me about this. Facebook page called Intermountain Moms. And if I was saying it in my Utah accent, I would say Innermounain Moms with no t's. But anyway. So I got on there. - And I guess there's this nurse on there. She's, a real nurse., Her name's Nurse Dani. And she answers questions to pregnant moms, new moms, all moms. And she gets on there weekly and answers questions live., And so I jumped on there. One night and I asked her the question.: How long does it take fractures to show up on an x-ray? So I would know when to take her into the doctor. Anyway. It was really nice because we got our question answered., Just like Call a Nurse only on the internet in Hawaii., And we took her in and yeah.. It ended up being fractured. Hairline fracture., So now, she's in her wrist wrap her brace OK. Same thing.. We'Re still just do in our little cocoon-ies. Twist. Twist.. So if you guys need medical advice there, you go. Check them out., It works for me., So just pull it down. Make the cocoon nice and tight. One more., Spritz it. Do a little bit more. And we are almost finished.. So when we take these out in the morning you're going to love the curls. They're, so fun. Didn't you love them. Did you get tons of compliments when you wore them to school -Yeah., I loved the curls.. They were so cute. -OK.. So again, when you're making the cocoons just make sure you have one little loop out and then a tail., You don't want the whole tail out on the same side as the loop, because then you won't have anything to pull in the morning and get them out.. So these are really secure. Like. I was surprised how easily they stayed in overnight., But if you're worried about them falling out, you can always take a bandana.. Will you hold that tail for me babe And just do the Aunt Jemima thing where you tie up like they used to in the'50s when they all had rollers in their hair. OK. Now hold this right there. While I re-tie it. Thank you., You can just tuck those in. And that will help keep those little curlies in a little bit better if you're worried about it., Which I don't usually because they stay in so well. And we'll see you tomorrow when we take them. Out., Hey guys. So it's morning and we are ready to take out the curls.. So we're just going to go. Ahead. And like I showed you before, you're just going to grab the loose end and just give it a tug and that will just unwrap the whole thing very easily., And you can see that we've got this really fun. Bouncy curl. And obviously you can tell because her curl is so tight right now how easily it would curl within just a couple hours. If you wanted to do it that way, too. We're just gently giving them a tug., Those loose ends. And then they just fall right out. So it's not a problem. And when you get them all taken out, then I'll show you what we'll do.. So I jumped online last night to look at that Intermountain Moms Facebook page again and realized that they're doing tons of really cool giveaways right now.. So if you guys are interested I'll, put a link in the description box below and you guys should definitely click on that and check out the giveaways. Plus then you'll know where to go. If you need medical help like I did with the wrist. OK. We're done.. So you can see all of her really bouncy curls and they're, really full and fun., And then what I'm going to do is just very, very lightly separate a little bit.. I don't want to run my fingers through them too much or they'll really puff up on her hair.. So we're just going to separate a little bit with our fingers. And if you're thinking the curl is too tight. You can even spritz just a tiny bit of water on them and that will help relax them again, too. Just a little bit.. I find that they start out. Curly.. Isn'T this what you think They start out really curly and then, by the end of the day, they're loose and really pretty. -Yeah., They tend to flatten a little. -Flatten themselves, out. -Yeah. -So! You can see like that. One in the back. Some of them are a little looser, so it works itself. Out. Gives you some nice curl. We're almost done., So you can see why I said bigger pieces on this. One is a little bit better just because they do come out really curly. Very easy to use. This to curl in an afternoon. There we go. OK., So you have this fun bunch of curls.. This spot, I think, is just a little too tight for my taste, so I'm going to just spritz it. Just a tiny, bit. And you'll see that that will just start relaxing that curl, even as I'm spritzing, it. And you're ready.. So for this hair, I do think that on this particular type of curl, it doesn't allow for you to put a lot of curls up on top.. So one of my favorite things to do is just take a head band and put it on like that. Fix that spot. And just pull it up a little bit. There we go. And then that leaves a lot of fun, curl underneath.. So once you get your head band positioned, then you can just take some hairspray to smooth down any fly aways and you are finished. And you have these beautiful, cocoon curls.. So we hope you guys have loved this one as much as we do and we will see you guys: later. -See, ya. -Woodland Fairy tonight., So I think it's kind of fall, autumn-y, soft, looking hairdo. And we're going to add in her little antennas. [ MUSIC PLAYING ]
Comments
Brian: Thank you! Today was picture day for my almost 3 year old and I wanted to give her some curls but I'm a single Dad and while I can knock out a decent braid, I'm still in the early learning stages of anything more complex. I tried this method last night and get awesome curls this morning, wish I could post a picture. Her hair is so thin that I had a hard time getting the knots to stay so I just secured them with small hair bands. Thanks again, can't wait to check out more of your tutorials!
Fredrika: I wish I have a mum who take care of my hair and do really beautiful curls for me...
get off it: I don't think it's ever said enough of hair models in videos and live hair shows, but THANKS! Your eyes are lovely, your hair is great and your smile is contagious! I was a hair model off an on since a little kid, so I know that instruction through demonstration is essential to learning anything, and having another had to work on instead of your own helps add both to the interest, and to the viewer's learning experience :)
Syeda: I have done this so many times, works beautifully every time
gypsy jade: I tried this last night, but I used larger sections. The outcome was very retro, loose big curls that I love! So happy with the look.
Alana Van Grouw: Do more no heat curl hairstyles! I rly love them try to see if u can do bouncy curls
Taryn Everdeen: Guys, if you take smaller sections (about 2 inches) and apply the same technique, then you end up with curls that look like you've used a curling iron on them! Hope this helps!
Young Sisters: I’m trying to grow healthy hair, so I’m not putting any heat on my hair... so this tutorial is great bc I’m feeling some curls today!

stefani nava: Yay ! Awesome ! I tried this out and it came out really pretty. I've been trying really hard not to use heat. Now their is something I can actually do with it instead of just taking a shower and leaving it down.Last year I would straighten my hair every single day of school and now I so regret it because I had to cut my hair really short and schools starting next week and it only grew a bit. So i've finally decided not to use any heat at all for the whole school year and this is one thing that I will do to my hair as a back to school hairstyle ~thank you very much cx
Rachel B: Thank you so much! I had actually watched another video on the cocoon curls, but they suggested to use a shower cap, which I didn't have. I slept on the cocoons and the fell out...
