Pieces of rags were the curling fashion of by gone days. You never heard of heat damage, or over processing from these. Even bobby pins were a great way to curl your hair.
Make pieces of cloth from old materials such as table cloths or napkins and cut into strips at least one inch wide and wider if you want big curls and anywhere from five to ten inches long.
Wash hair as usual and allow to partially dry until just damp. If you have hard to curl hair, you might use a bit of setting gel at this point. Part hair off into sections and take a rag and use it like a roller. Put the strand of hair in the middle of the rag and my method is to fold the rag over from the right side of the strand and then fold the left side over something like we did the home permanent papers. This will help to hold the hair while you roll. Then continue to roll under until you reach the scalp. Tie the ends. Probably one tie will do because if you tie a tight knot you will have to cut the material and won’t be able to reuse the rag. It will take practice to get it so that the ends don’t come out.
Now, the good part is that you can sleep on this without any problem at all. You will not experience heat damage or over processing and you will be saving on electricity used by your hair dryer
