Fashionistas have always tried to find a cheaper and safer analogy to harmful thermal curling and uncomfortable wrapping on curlers.
The method, in which curls curls on a toe, combines both of these moments at once, it is incredibly convenient and at the same time safe for the health of your hair.
In this article, we will deal with the intricacies of the procedure that was used by our mothers and grandmothers, and which has not lost its relevance to this day.
Many are sincerely surprised when they hear that you can get curly hair with a regular sock. In fact, this method is quite old and it was used back in the days of the USSR, when there were only two types of curling methods - with the help of inconvenient curlers or harmful thermal curling with a curling iron.
Now progress has gone far ahead and therefore a huge number of methods of curling, both cold and hot, have appeared, but winding curls on the sock, no matter what, has not lost its popularity to this day. Surprisingly, now even Western fashionistas are increasingly using this method and there are a number of reasons for this.
Firstly, it is, of course, the universality of this procedure and its simplicity. You have to agree that there are several pairs of socks in every home, so every woman can do this. Plus, it does not require any hairdressing skills from you, everything is done simply and intuitively.
The second thing to note is the convenience of this promotion. It is done in the evening, and in the morning you already become the owner of beautiful wavy hair. At the same time, your sleep will not be accompanied by any uncomfortable sensations, as it happens if you wind curlers at night.
And the last thing is safety. Market now cosmetics for hair offers a wide range of products that help protect hair from the harmful effects of high temperatures during thermal curling. Despite this, the health of the hair still suffers a little. When you wind the curls on a sock, it has absolutely no negative consequences for your hair.
Before we talk about how to wind curls with a sock, let's look at a few points that will allow you to achieve the highest quality result.
To begin with, it should be noted that the hairstyle that you get in the end directly depends on the obedience of your hair. Thick and thick hair after such a perm will only acquire a slightly wavy character. Owners of the obedient type will get full-fledged curls in the morning. This problem is common to all types of cold curling, so this is not surprising.
Its solution can be the use of special products that contribute to better styling. Most often they are presented in the form of mousses or foams. That is why it is recommended to apply them before the procedure, especially if you have unruly hair.
The next tip is related to the choice of socks, on which the curls will be wrapped. 3-4 pairs of standard size socks are enough for you. As you can imagine, this number directly depends on the number of strands that will be wound on them. If desired, you can increase this amount to 5-6 pairs. This is also recommended if you have thick hair, since it is better to take thinner strands.
It is better to give preference to socks made of thin material and having a classic shape. We will need to tie their ends, so sports models that have a height below the ankle will not work for us.
It should also be noted that we will describe two methods, and the second does not require such a large number of socks, but it has its own minus - after the procedure, the sock cannot be worn, since we will partially cut it off. Which way to choose
depends only on your preference.
In the first case, in the morning we get well-formed and fairly small curls, and in the second - just wavy hair that looks extremely natural and natural.

Determination of the required number of socks is carried out individually.
The material from which the socks were made is not essential for curling. However, it is still recommended not to use sports socks for this procedure, since they are rather short - it will simply not work to get beautiful curls with their help. Girls with long curls will need rather long socks for such a curl. Some beauties even use soft knee-highs when creating such styling.
Short
After all the preliminary steps have been completed, you can proceed directly to curling your hair. It is better to do this step by step. You should wind up strand by strand. Their thickness is selected individually. So, if you want to get naughty curls as a result, then the strands should be made thin. To create soft waves, curls 3–4 cm thick are required.
Curl should be done from about the middle of the sock. In this case, it is necessary to wind the curls in the direction from the ends up. To prevent the hair from falling apart on its own, the ends of the hair should be secured with a knot. Some girls use thin rubber bands for fixing.
After curling one part of the hair, move to the other. The strands twisted in this way should be left overnight. Carefully remove the socks in the morning.
Middle length
For hair of this length, stock up on 3-4 pairs of socks. It is better to divide the washed and dried hair into several zones. Hair can be twisted both from the temporal zone and from the back of the head. So that hair from other parts of the head does not interfere, it is better to fix them with "crabs".
A strand of approximately 5-6 cm thick should be placed perpendicular to the toe. In this case, the textile product must be placed in such a way that the hair is approximately 1–1.5 cm above its middle. After that, the strand can already be wound, moving towards the roots.
The loose ends of the lock must be tied, as in the previous case.
There is another way to curl.It also needs a sock. In this case, it is better to choose a product of sufficient length. After that, the tip of the sock must be cut off (approximately 4–5 cm). Next, you need to twist it into a kind of "donut". Some girls make such a device for home hair curling from two socks at once. In this case, the curls are softer and have an average diameter.
Wet, towel-dried curls must be collected in a high "ponytail".To fix it, you need a regular hair elastic. After that, the collected hair in a ponytail should be passed through the hole in the "donut" from the sock. Next, the tip of the tail should be wrapped around the ring. After that, the sock must be twisted up to the head. If done correctly, you will get a charming bunch.
Better to do this at night. However, some girls curl their curls in this way, having only 4-5 hours in stock. It is worth noting that even during this time, curls will appear. But without the use of fixing means for styling, it will not be possible to keep them for a long time.
Long

- hair spray.
On the eve of the day of the hairstyle, you need to wind the hair on the socks (divide the hair into four parts, slightly moisten each of the parts with water, wind and fix by tying the tips of the socks).
After spending the night with these "curlers", when the time comes to leave the house, you need to take off your socks. Apply some varnish to the resulting curls. Part hair with even parting.
Quick simple hairstyle
The creation of this hair composition takes a minimum amount of time and consists of simple actions... She looks very feminine and natural.
Such a hairstyle will be a real boon for women who often travel on business trips and cannot take with them a large number of items for curling their hair (curling iron, curlers). The shown way of curling creates beautiful voluminous curls that will delight its owner.
If we talk about gentle ways of curling curls, you should definitely mention papillotes. They are good for everyone - only many may find cutting pieces of paper and rags incredibly boring. But there is such a great alternative, how to wind your hair on your socks. It is also quite safe and will not take much time. As for accessibility - well, everyone has socks! ..
Actually, there are two ways to use these wardrobe items for curling. The first is tissue papillotes. You need to take long enough cotton socks, and you can't do with a couple. The thicker your hair, the more you will need - perhaps up to a dozen. And the result will also depend on the thickness of the wrapped strands, and therefore on the number of socks. The more of them, the finer the curls will turn out. And for soft waves, thick tufts of hair are wound around the sock.
Instead of papillotes
It is better to do such a perm for the coming sleep, on a clean, freshly washed head. Hair should be practically dry, but not completely - this is a guarantee that in 7-8 hours they will take the shape of curls. For a longer lasting effect, you can use mousse or foam. The main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise you will not get curls, but icicles.
- When you start curling, you need to comb your hair well and divide it into strands.
- Each of them should be carefully wound around the sock, avoiding creases.
- When five centimeters remain to the root, the curl is fixed - the ends of the sock are tightly tied.
So it is required to process the entire head - first the back of the head, and the hair of the face last. However, this is not a strict recommendation, but a matter of convenience. To definitely do everything correctly and most effectively, you can watch the video - many girls record and post their successes in curling on the Internet using improvised means.
In the morning, styling does not take long - you just need to gently untie the socks and loosen the curls. To make them look more natural, you do not need to comb them - you just need to run your fingers into the hair and run to the ends several times. Then the head can be sprinkled with varnish if a long lasting effect is required. And a great hairstyle is ready in just five minutes!
Bun curls
Another toe curl option is natural beach waves. This hairstyle will be very good on medium length hair. You only need one sock. The end is cut off to make a tube. Clean, slightly damp strands are treated with a styling product and a tight tail is made at the crown. To wind the hair with a sock, they are threaded into the resulting tube, and then they begin to wind it around. At the same time, it is advisable to keep the tail upright so that the bundle comes out neat. It turns out like a donut entwined with hair. It is not necessary to additionally fix it, it will last perfectly all night.
In principle, many girls like such a bun by itself, and they wear it as an independent hairstyle. But if you don't shoot it all night or day, and then dissolve it, you get luxurious natural waves. You don't need to comb them either - you can fix them with varnish. Single, long and thick hair they do not always have time to dry in a tight bundle, so it would be good to use a hairdryer before untie it. This will provide additional fixation. But if heat exposure is undesirable, you need to apply a sock to almost completely dry hair.
These two ways to get beautiful curls without chemistry and heat treatment are quite affordable and quite effective. Knowing how to wrap your hair around your socks can help you get yourself a wonderful hairstyle at no extra cost.
