How to Curl Your Hair with a Bathrobe Tie
Follow these easy steps to create gorgeous curls:
- Wash your hair and let it air dry until it’s slightly damp.
- Brush your hair to remove any tangles and divide it into sections.
- Take a section of hair and wrap it around the bathrobe tie from the bottom up. Make sure to keep the tie tight so that your hair doesn’t slip out.
- Once you’ve reached the top of your head, tie the two ends of the bathrobe tie together to secure the hair in place.
- Repeat the process with the rest of your hair, making sure to wrap the hair in the same direction for a more uniform look.
- Once you’ve finished, use hair clips or bobby pins to secure any loose ends in place.
- Leave the bathrobe tie in your hair for at least a few hours or overnight for best results.
- Remove the tie and gently finger comb your hair to loosen the curls.
- Finish with hairspray or hair mousse for extra hold (optional).
That’s it! You’ll be left with beautiful, bouncy curls that will last all day.
Why Bathrobe Curls Work
You might be wondering how a bathrobe tie can create curls. The answer lies in the material of the tie. Bathrobe ties are typically made of soft, absorbent materials like cotton or terry cloth. When you wrap your hair around the tie and leave it in for a few hours, the material absorbs any excess moisture in your hair, helping to set the curl.
Additionally, the tightness of the tie helps to create uniform curls. Unlike a curling iron, which can create different sized curls depending on how you wrap your hair around the barrel, the bathrobe tie creates consistent curls throughout your hair.
Expert Opinion
According to celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin, Using a bathrobe tie is a great way to create curls without heat. It’s a gentle method that won’t damage your hair and can create beautiful, bouncy curls.
