Love this! I tried it last night as well and it came out pretty well! I need to practice my "wrapping" skills but once I get the hang if it I think this will be a method that I use quite often. Thanks for sharing!

So cute. I just pile my wet hair in a bun on the top of my head if I shower at night. Works for me plus gives me volume. I'm just so happy I have curly hair to begin with.

Shannon- I love your idea of something that you could tie/untie easily! Or even if you had a "regular" headband (like the thicker one I pictured above) that had been modified with velcro or a button to take it on/off? I spent quite a bit of time unravelling as well, though probably not as much as you.

I tried this last night and for the most part it worked. My hair is super long – about half way down my back – with layers. This meant that I got super tight curls in the front (like shirley temple tight) and more like waves in the back because there wasn't a lot of headband room for wrapping and the chunks had to be bigger in order to fit. I'm wearing my hair half up and I think it looks pretty good though! I really like your idea of using 2 hair bands, but I think i might buy some elastic and tie the band in a bow in the front. Then taking it out would be much easier…just untie the sucker and pull it out through the hair (in theory). I spent most of my hair time this morning just untangling it from the hair band. I'm afraid that the kim-k band placement might result in a band imprint on my forehead for the next day… let me know how yours goes!

I've been using velcro rollers, the smallers ones I have do make loose curls – the only problem is the length of time your hair takes to dry with them in. You definately couldn't sleep in then either!

This was incredibly helpful! I had the same difficulties you did with the sock curls because of the length of my hair. Awesome!

This seems so cool! I'm going to try it out now. Keep us updated on how the 2 headband thing goes.

Hi Chelsie!
I've just followed you on Pinterest too, though I think you were one of the boards I was going to on occasion anyways. Which is stupid, following is just easier rather than randomly visiting. And, it appears that you have made those Tacquitos I keep drooling over! I'm going to do it after reading your blog post!

Anyways, it's great to know that the Kim K-Dash ugliness will have a good use after all, I'm going to do it that way!

I follow you on Pinterest and loved this idea as soon as you pinned it. I've used the same method about five times now because it's that great. My hair is really, really thick and about two inches below my shoulders, so I have to use 10 giant bobby pins and a Goody Stay Put elastic headband to keep everything from slipping around during the night. I've found that positioning the headband further down on my forehead (a la Kim Kardashian's wedding head gear) allows me greater control over how tightly I can wrap my hair at the nape of my neck, which translates to tighter curls all around my head.
