3 Hair Videos That Changed My Morning Routine
I’m lazy in the morning about doing my hair. Here are three videos that changed my morning routine forever because I can put my hair up the night before and wake up in the morning with awesome curls! Each technique works a little different based on the type of hair you have…..I prefer the Vintage Style Curls video because I have thin hair, but a lot of it. Enjoy!

Teefanny commented on Sep 06 11 at 6:01 pmThanks for sharing! I love the accents but the 3rd video was my favorite because it was so concise….I am just that lazy with my hair that I don’t even want to spend 8 minutes watching how to do it, I’d rather spend only 3 :) I do remember my Great Grandmother wrapping my hair in old stockings, which was more like a PollyAnna/Nelly Olson curl look.
Renae commented on Oct 06 11 at 10:34 pmI’m not very good with hair, so the sock bun looks easiest for me, ? though, how do you avoid having a big rubber band bump the next day?
Mae commented on Oct 13 11 at 3:07 amTo Renae: My daughter and I do the “sock buns”, based on that very video (#2). Instead of using a hairband the typical way to make a ponytail (which might leave a crease/mark on the hair), I use a stretchy headband to tie the hair into a ponytail, and then just untie it when I get close to it while doing the bun. This is an amazing technique and our hair always looks fab. Both of us have VERY long hair, but it has also worked on my cousin’s shoulder-length hair.
marie commented on Oct 14 11 at 4:28 pmmy hair is semi long.around my chest.but i have layers,does the sock bun work if u have layers?
Ericka commented on Oct 29 11 at 7:08 pmMarie: I have medium length (about 3-4 inches past my shoulders) hair, with layers, and the sock bun worked for me but is definitely more difficult than without layers. Make sure when you are rolling up your hair that along the way you get all the ends tucked in and are evenly rolling it, and it should do the trick. My hair ended up with curls just at the very bottom of the top layers, which was okay. I really think it would work better with longer hair… but the vintage curls trick is fantastic for my length hair. Only problem is the back/top is pretty straight… so I usually end up with it all pushed back in a headband to make it look good. On the plus side, that means I don’t have to style my bangs that day. :) Good luck!

Maria commented on Nov 22 11 at 3:06 pmWhat tips do you have for naturally pin straight hair than NEVER holds curl?
The Bandee commented on Dec 28 11 at 2:55 pmWe liked these ideas so much, we’ve posted them on our Facebook page. I have my hair in a sock bun right now. Thanks! Dede
