guilt free straightening hair method

Sweet, thanks enfys for the turban article link. I think that's perfect. My last attempt was a disaster, my hair looked worse than ever. I suspect that the hair net didn't keep it tight enough, so it was able to kink up like always, but i lost the few nice spirals and waves that I get from leaving it alone...worst of both worlds, haha. I'll give it another try sometime where I don't care what I look like the next day.

I just gave this a try! While it straightened my hair, I actually prefer my hair wavy.

I get my hair stupidly straight with a wrap bun

My hair is so straight, a wrap bun gives me waves.

Hahaha! My hair isn't quite long enough for a wrap bun yet, but I'm sure this would happen to me, too.

Funny thing is, all my life I've always wanted wavy/curly hair, and spent forever trying to figure out how to get it to curl. I guess we always want what we don't have.

I just want to say thank you for this tutorial on this technique. I think this has freed me from my flat iron. It doesn't get my hair quite as stick straight, but it looks more natural with still some wave however it is very smooth, and I can already feel my hair being softer from not using my flat iron on a weekly basis anymore. Thank you, thank you a million times over!

problem i've got now is i'm actually liking my waves now since it's become healthier looking. lol
so i haven't done this for a little while now. but it's there as a method if i fancy a change of scene

Funny that you mention this. DS is in HS now and I see that soooo many of the girls still wear this same hairstyle. Stick straight, center part (or maybe side part for flair)... The more things change the more they stay the same.
