How to Create Ringlets with Wavy Hair

Ringlet curls can be a cute way to style your hair no matter what your age. For a flirty new look, achieving this classic style is much simpler than you might think, even for naturally wavy hair. There is also a way to achieve this look without using any styling instruments that could potentially damage your hair.

Things You'll Need

• Spray bottle
• Water
• Gel
• Mousse
• Old pillow case or t-shirt
• Scissors
• Hair spray

Instructions

1. Before you go to bed, lightly mist your entire head with a spray bottle filled with plain water and divide your hair into small segments.

2. Cover each of the segments with gel or mousse.

3. Cut several strips of fabric from an old pillowcase or t-shirt. Each of the strips should be a couple inches longer than your hair.

4. Tie the first strip into a knot around the base of a segment of your hair. The knot should fall in the center of the strip.

5. Wrap this segment of hair around the knot.

6. Tie the ends of the strip together over the hair after it has been completely wrapped around the knot.

7. Repeat wrapping and tying every segment until your entire head is covered.

8. Sleep that night with your head covered in the knotted strips.

9. Remove the strips from your hair the next morning and spray your entire head with hair spray to help the curls stay in place all day.

Tips & Warnings

• Dividing your hair into smaller sections will give you tighter curls.
