I am a far cry from a hair expert, and I pretty much never actually style my own hair, but I'm posting this tutorial because I don't think I've ever worn this hairstyle without someone asking me how I do it. I love this hairstyle because its a way to do my hair a little fancier for work or a special event and also happens to be the only way I can get my hair to curl. Plus, once you try it a couple of times its literally one of the easiest and fastest things to do with your hair. I myself, learned how to do this from another tutorial video I found on the Internet, so don't think I figured this out on my own. ;)
Start with slightly wet and brushed hair, then get a loose fitting headband and place it over the top of your hair hippie kid style. (that is a technical term) I found if the headband is too tight its uncomfortable and puts unfortunate kinks and whatnot in your hair.
Grab a section of hair.
Pull it up and around the headband.
Tip: If your goal is curling your hair don't start wrapping your hair to close to your roots or you'll have one random curl up by your face.
Once you have pulled the hair down you can let it go and grab a new section of hair to repeat the process around your head.
Do this until you have your hair mostly wrapped around the headband on both sides.
When doing the back you have to keep moving the hair over so that you always have gap, I usually try to alternate between sides so it comes out more even and doesn't get all tangled.
Once you get to the last little bits of hair just tuck them into the rest of the hair behind the headband.
Once all the stray hairs have been tucked, grab the head band from across your forehead and move it back on top of your head to finish!
After it is dry you can reverse the process and take the headband out for a mass of curls!
After I take the headband out, I brush the curls out and they will stay until the next time I wash it!
Hope this made some amount of sense! It definitely takes some trial and error, if I wrap my hair too tight I'll really crazy 90's curls but of course you still want it to stay! So if you try and it fails don't get discouraged practice makes perfect! If you want here are a couple videos that I liked:
