Description

Just a really quick way to make curlers out of every-day objects. So simple it hurts.

Instructions

  1. Small rollers 01

    Gather your materials. Get a sharp knife and cut your Rolls in half

  2. Small rollers 03

    rip or cut a stip of aluminum foil that will reach around your roll once (plus 2 inches extra). Don't make a big fuzz about measuring, really. Fold one small side of the foil over once. This will be on the outside once you've rolled it around. The folding prevents the outside edge from ripping all too easily.

  3. Small rollers 04

    You guessed it: tightly roll the foil around the roll.

  4. Small rollers 05

    Tuck in the leftover, starting at the point where the layers meet. Press the insides flat against the paper.

  5. Small rollers 06

    This is what you end up with. 6 Rolls is pretty much enough for me, but then again, I have very fine hair. Maybe you'll need 2 more. This was insanely quick, wasn't it?

  6. Small rollers 07

    Whooaaaa, no makeup! xD I recommend to roll your hair so that the curler is -under- the strand you're urling. Does that make sense? Pin the roll to the hair by just sliding in one or two bobby pins just as close to your scalp as you can roll the thing.

  7. Small rollers 08

    Like that.

  8. This step will be picture-ised as soon as my hair has been in this stage long enough. ;)
