How to Make Rag Rollers for Hair

Use rag rollers for a curly look.

If you are tired of dried-out hair and split ends, try a new technique on your hair. Use rag rollers to give your hair the lift, body and curl you get from the curling iron and other chemical processes. Go natural and put the curling iron back into the closet as you make your own rag rollers for your hair. These rollers are soft enough to sleep on and give you the ability to control the amount of curl.

Things You'll Need

• Old T-shirts or shirts of soft thin material
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Gather all of your old T-shirts and shirts into a pile. Look for ones that are at least 6 inches across.

2. Cut both sides of the shirts to get flat pieces of material. Measure 2-inch wide by 6-inch long strips.

3. Use scissors to cut the strips. Pile them to the side. Make about 50 strips.

Tips & Warnings

• You want the material thin enough to roll and tie but strong enough to wrap your hair around.

• Don't use corduroy or felt, as neither works well with water.
