Permanent curling of hair is usually achieved by using curling iron or other heat based tools. But there are several other methods to get curls naturally. Here are some methods to get curls overnight. These curls do not last for a long time and will need some gel or spray to fix them.
Method to get curls naturally overnight
Get curls by using a sock bun
An old sock which is stretchable and has some elasticity can be used for this purpose. Convert the sock into a long tube by cutting off the toes of the socks with a pair of scissors. Now roll the sock into a ring that is about an inch wide. It will look like a sock doughnut. Make a ponytail of the hair right on top of the head and tighten it with hair tie. Spray enough water on the ponytail to make the hair damp and apply a little hair spray or hair styling cream on the hair. Push the sock ring in the pony tail and take it close to the head.
Tuck the ring on the head with pins. Spread the hair evenly around the ring. Roll sections of hair all around the ring and secure them with pins. The hair will go round the sock by holding the sock with both the hands and rolling it downwardly. The elasticity of the sock will make the bun secure. Another sock can also be used to cover the bun and keep it secure for the night. Sleep overnight and remove the sock bun in the morning and unroll the hair gently. Open the hair by pulling out the tie and separate the curls with the fingers. Apply a hair spray to fix the curls.
Get curls by using a headband
Hair curling can be achieved overnight through this method. Apply hair spray or hair styling cream on damp hair for better results. The hair needs to be free of tangles and parted in the desired manner. Use an inch thick headband around the head. Take small section of hair from the front and twist it away from the head tucking it under the headband. Twist sections of hair and wrap then all over the headband.
Continue the process of gathering and wrapping the hair till the back of the head. Now the longtail that will be leftover has to be twisted into a rope and tucked up in the headband if there is place or it can be rolled into a bun and secured on the head with bobby pins. Adjust the headband to stay on the hairline. Sleep overnight and carefully remove the bobby pins in the morning. Slide off the headband and unwind the hair slowly. Comb the fingers to separate the waves. Apply a styling gel to fix the curls
Curls made by twisting the hair
This style of curling or waving gives best results when done on damp hair. The hair should be parted in two sections—one on the left and the other on the right side. Take one section of the hair and twist it away from the face up to the end till it looks like a rope. Secure the end of the twist with an elastic band and place the rope around the head like a headband with the ends just above the forehead. Clip the hair with bobby pins to make a secure hold. Repeat the same twisting process on the other section of the hair. Join the two ends like a rope and secure them with bobby pins in front or back of the first rope. Keep the hair in position overnight. Unravel the hair in the morning and comb them with fingers. Apply a hair spray or gel for the waves to remain for a longer time.
Curls made by making mini buns
Start making the curls on damp hair by dividing the hair into four sections –two on the top and two at the bottom. Tie each section separately. Divide each section into two ponytails that are placed up and down. Twist each section and roll it into a bun roll the other part and twist it around the previous bun and secure it with bobby pins. Make similar buns on the bottom side towards the left and towards the right. Sleep over and remove the buns and pins carefully in the morning. Brush the hair strands separate with the fingers. Apply a small amount of styling gel.
