    The larger the section, the looser the wave pattern will be. The smaller the section, the tighter the curl pattern will be.

    Try not to have the braid stick out too much when you braid the hair, and try to not fall asleep lying right on the braid.

    Are there any other ways I can curl my hair overnight?
    Community Answer
    Make a half-up ponytail and put it into a tight bun. Part the rest of your hair in the middle, and braid each side tightly. When you wake up, it should be curly.
  • Question
    Is there any way to curl my hair with mousse?
    Community Answer
    I usually put mousse in my hair when it’s wet, then I scrunch it and leave it to dry. It won't be super curly, but it will be wavy at least.
  • Question
    What if I have short, shoulder-length hair?
    Community Answer
    Do the same thing as mentioned above. The length of your hair will not matter unless you have really short hair, like a pixie cut.

    If you twist your hair and put it in a bun, it should work. If you just tie it around without twisting it into a bun, it will not.

    Try anti-frizz serum; it works very well! Also, you can tie your hair up in a ponytail or bun with a scrunchie to make it neat.

    If you put your hair in a bun and then put hairspray all over your hair, will it still work?

    It will still work because the hairspray will keep the hair in place. Make sure to loosen the curls a little, for a natural effect.

    You can use a curling iron, or you can try rollers. A flat iron might also work.

    My hair is really silky, so each time I do the cocoon method, the knit slips out. I don’t have many materials, so is there a good solution?

    You can try socks. You can roll them up in your hair and tie them. You could do the same with paper towels and toilet paper.

    Community Answer
    Depending on how short the hair is, the either the sock method or you could wear rollers. You can try both to see which one works the best for your hair. If you naturally have wavy hair, then it is going to be easier to curl than if you have flatter hair.
