Question

Can I braid my hair into many small braids, then put straightener in before taking them out?

Community Answer

Sure, just don't leave the straightener on too long, and don't melt the elastics if you're using rubber ones.

Question

Is there a simpler way, as braiding my hair only makes it frizzy, not curly, and it is extremely uneven.

Community Answer

Something else you can do than braiding is the other things listed above or you can curl your hair in the morning into really tight ringlets and then very softly and carefully brush them out to waves. Your hair will still get frizzy with this method, but not as much.

Question

Are there any other effective methods for pretty curls?

Emma Trifan

Community Answer

Yes, there are. You can twist your hair, while it's damp, scrunch it up, and put it into a mini bun. Make these mini buns in bigger forms for bigger curls or smaller forms for curlier smaller curls. Spray them with hairspray and sleep with them overnight or keep them in for 5-6 hours.

Question

Could I braid my hair overnight while it's dry? Would it have a different effect?

Emma Trifan

Community Answer

It wouldn't make too much of an effect, except your braids may come out more frizzy if you're doing more than 4. But if you just doing 2 or 4 braids it will just create looser curls.

Question

Are these ways to make your hair curly permanent or just for a couple of days? I’m asking because I wanted permanent curly hair.

Emma Trifan

Community Answer

These are all temporary ways that last up to 7 hours for some and up to 4 hours for others. If you want permanently curly hair, a perm is a better option.
