Curling your hair with a headband is an easy way to get your curly hair bouncy without the heat. All you need to do is wrap slightly damp hair in a horizontal headband. Leave your hair in the headband for an hour to overnight, then remove the headband and let your curls out! The longer you let your hair curl in the headband, the stronger and longer the curl will be. Curling with a headband is a great way to have beautifully bouncy curls without breaking your hair or buying expensive curling equipment.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Attaching Headbands
Step 1. Comb the hair
Before starting to curl with a headband, comb your hair to keep it from getting tangled. Comb the ends of the hair, then go higher and comb down. Work your way up to the higher sections of your hair, then comb down, repeating this step all the way to the base of your hair.
- Tangled hair will complicate the curling process and make the results less frizzy.
- Comb gradually from the bottom up so that the hair does not fall out or break.
- If there are tangles of hair, do not pull it with a comb. Comb the tangled hair little by little slowly until it falls apart.
Step 2. Moisturize hair
Curling with a headband will be easier if your hair is damp, as it will dry out in curls. If your hair is dry, dampen it by holding it under running water for a few seconds. You can also spray it with water. If you want to try this hairstyle after shampooing, wait until your hair is slightly dry.
Don't wet your hair as the goal is to keep your hair damp, not soaking wet
Step 3. Apply hair care products
Applying curling cream or foam will make your hair slightly damp and wavy. This wavy texture makes hair curls more durable and strong. If your hair is already wavy and thick, you may not need to apply this kind of product. But if your hair is straight and thin, applying a product like this will result in nicer curls.

Step 4. Attach the headband
Once your hair is damp and you've applied hair care products, it's time to put on your headband and start curling. Take a rubber headband and attach it "hippy style" to your head, wearing the headband as if you were wearing a crown so that the headband crosses your forehead.
- Use a comfortable circular headband. The headband should be able to go around the head. Don't wear anything too tight because you'll be wearing it for an hour or even overnight.
- Use a rubber headband that is about two fingers thick.
Part 2 of 3: Curling Hair in Headbands
Step 1. Wrap your hair a little in a headband
Once the headband is in place, it's time to wrap your hair in the headband! Start by picking up a bit of hair that frames the face in the front, which is on the left or right side. It's about two fingers wide. Pull your hair up so that it covers the headband, then tuck your hair into the headband until it's a perfect circle.
Step 2. Add hair
When you're done tucking in the first section of hair, take a few more hairs that are next to the first section and combine them.
Step 3. Loop the combined hair
Once the hair is combined, loop it again in the headband right next to the first section of hair.
Step 4. Keep looping until you reach the hair at the back of your head
Continue adding and looping sections of hair until they reach the back of the head behind the ears.
Step 5. Repeat the process of looping the hair on the hair on the other side of the head
Repeat the looping process, this time starting on the other side of the head and working your way back. Stop when you get to the back of the head.
Your hair should now be curled around both sides of your head with a small section of hair still hanging in the back
Step 6. Take a section of hair behind your head and wrap it in a headband
Take all the remaining hair at the back and wrap it around the headband as before. Continue to loop your hair all the way to the ends as there's no more hair to join this section of hair, then tuck the ends of your hair under the headband.
Step 7. Pin it so that the hair does not come off
Clip your hair if you are going to leave it overnight. Put a few bobby pins in your hair around the headband with the section of hair on the top side.
You can also be on guard by wrapping your hair in a scarf
Step 8. Spray hairspray
After attaching the bobby pins, spritz some hairspray. Hairspray will help make the curls last longer when you remove them later.
Part 3 of 3: Solution
Step 1. Leave the hair on for at least an hour
The curling process with this headband is almost complete once you spray the hairspray. Wait about an hour to overnight to let the hair out. The longer the curl, the tighter it will last.
Step 2. Remove the headband
When you are ready to finish this hairstyle, remove the bobby pins one by one, then remove the hair from the headband and pull the headband. Your hair is now curly and bouncy!
Step 3. Shake and style the hair
Once the headband is removed, you still need to do something to get the result you want. Shake your hair and curl it with your fingers, then let it fall naturally. If you want looser curls, run your fingers through them. You can untangle your hair, pin some up, or style it however you want!
Once you're satisfied with the result of your hairdo, spritz some hairspray and admire your beautiful curls
Tips
- If you can put your hair in a neat bun and wear a cute headband, the hair still curled in this headband can be a style in itself! This look gives an elegant and classic impression.
- If you curl your hair a little at a time, the curls will be tighter and smaller. On the other hand, if you curl more hair, the curls will be bigger and looser.
- Use two headbands if your hair is thicker. So, the results of your curly hair will be better.
