What to do with curly hair on the second day?

September 30, 2010 By Hair Romance 8 Comments

So you created beautiful curls with your lovely Parlux hairdryer, applied a conditioning treatment and used a serum to control the frizz and had a great day out with fabulous hair.

Then you slept on it and woke up looking like you just walked out of a bush backwards.

This is the reason most curly haired girls hate their hair. Unlike Queensland, it’s beautiful one day and knotted the next.

What to do? Well, you can wash your hair and start all over again but if like me, you love a sleep in, relax a little while longer then grab some hair pins and just “twist & pin”!*

Start at the top and take sections of hair, twist and pin in place. Using your part as a guide to decide where to start sectioning, then take small sections and wrap them around your finger a put the bobby pin through the whole curl to secure it in place. I’ve left mine quite messy as I think it works better with the curls.
Have a play – hair is fun and it’s so easy to experiment. Would love to see your styles.
* I almost called this blog Twist and Pin as it’s my most common answer when people ask how I do my hair. I may make it my registered trademark..

    Slightly off topic question, I’m a radiographer and I have wavy/ curly hair. I usually wear it in a bun at work. I like this idea, but as I sometimes spend time in MRI, something like this is not the best idea (bobby pins are magnetic and i cannot wear these in the room) do you have any ideas of how to style my hair looking professional and use no magnetic accessories?

      Hi Amelia, that’s a great question. I guess you can only use plastic combs or clips and metal free hair elastics. Braids could also work, such as this style, then just secure the bun with an elastic rather than pins. I’ll think about some other styles that could work for you too. Christina x

    I have a very similar curl to your so I’ll have to give this look a try. Usually if I go to bed with wet hair it looks pretty decent when I wake up the next morning though, but this would be great for “leftover hair” that I haven’t washed in a day or so.

      “leftover hair” – love it! That’s definitely what my hair is like by the end of day 2, or day 3

    I’m happy to have found someone with curly hair who knows what to do with it! Over the past few years I finally started embracing my curly tresses and stopped straightening them! Thank you for posting these helpful tutorials!

    I love your hairstyles. I am a black woman with semi course curly hair so I have no need to tease or hot curl. I get that part naturally! I’m looking forward to trying the styles in your e-book. I purchased it today 🙂
