Curls in 15 minutes ... Without tears! (ETA: Lasts >10 hrs)

There. I brushed the whole thing out and redid to see what my timing was - under 15 minutes for all my hair and a check. I can't figure out how to add more pics to my previous post (sorry).

I used the looser curls for this though; I am not really a fan of Shirley Temple. ;) No product, I am just going to wear it to see how long these curls last for - the last time I had curls put in professionally it was about $75 and lasted a day with product, so if I can do it x3 for myself then the expense is recouped.

Okay, enough posts from me today!! I will go and hide now. :p thanks for being indulgent.

ETA: I washed out my hair around 11 pm last night, and I put in these curls around 12 noon - so I'd say they lasted about 10 hrs. I made dinner and did various household chores, watched some TV, went to the gym. They looked slightly bleh at hour 4 and I just floof-ed them back up with fingers. No problem at the gym.

    It looks gorgeous! Soft waves suit you well.

  • Thistle replied 10 years ago

    I think they look lovely. And under 15 minutes? Nice.

    It takes me 45 minutes just to blow dry my mop if I actually blow it dry.

  • lyn* replied 10 years ago

    @ Ramya - Boy is on overnight call tonight; maybe tomorrow - haha! I got a feeling his patients will be sorely angry if they were without doctor tonight ;)

    @ Carambola - Thanks! I've never tried to do anything with my hair before :p

    @ Thistle - I have given up blow drying my hair because of the time too - I am a lazy creature.

  • Alassë replied 10 years ago

    Uh, killer from me! Soft waves look great on you. No need to apologize for more fab Lyn* posts.

    Gorgeous!

    OK --- I just caught up on all the "hair" posts.  And:

    Love your hair down. Straight or curly.  I don't think it's crazy.  I think it's shiny and simply feminine. 

    I'd suggest a good trim for he ends.  After a while, you could try a little face shaping, but that might bug you when pulling it back, so I'd keep it simple for now.

    I don't use much product, but I do love a little morrocan oil on dry hair for colder season.  It doesn't build up on the hair and smooths straight styles while adding shine.  I don't put it on the roots, and I wouldn't use it at all if your hair is oily.  My 12 year old Chinese DD has oily skin, but dry hair, and the oil is great on her hair.

    If the device works, then keep it!  Abso-tootin-lutely (as we say in the midwest).

  • lyn* replied 10 years ago

    @ Beth Ann - A trim is definitely in the works; I think it definitely could use a good one - ahha; and I have a week off, so hopefully I can get it done now. I have had problems with length and tying hair back for work and things - but I will try to manage things as they are now.

    I use Argan oil - but I will try the morrocan next time I can find it; I have oily skin and dry hair too. Adopt me! jk. :)

    The curls are quite flattering! I am eager to hear how long they last -- hope the Babyliss works out for you!

  • Emily replied 10 years ago

    The Babyliss and curl secret have been tempting me since they appeared on the market!  I am waiting to see how your style holds up...

  • Angie replied 10 years ago

    Killer

    Well Done, Queen Flirty Frock. 

  • Parsley replied 10 years ago

    You look so lovely with your hair down, lyn*!
    Your new look is a huge success!

  • Raisin replied 10 years ago

    Oh you look so pretty in curls!

  • LACeleste replied 10 years ago

    So super pretty!  I love your hair down with curls/waves!

  • viva replied 10 years ago

    So pretty! Love it!

  • goldenpig replied 10 years ago

    So pretty! Love the curls. Let me know how long it lasts. I am tempted, if it really only takes 15 min and lasts. Your hair looks about the same texture as mine, which doesn't hold curls very long.

  • Kristin L replied 10 years ago

    All in under 15 minutes? Well done. YLF!

  • Aubergine replied 10 years ago

    Looks beautiful and I could see the style working well with your vintage-y clothes. And I'm amazed that it only took 15 minutes!

  • lyn* replied 10 years ago

    So far, it's hour six doing household chores and things - and everything is still holding. It looked a little limp, so I finger curled it - and things just bounced back!

  • Jeanie replied 10 years ago

    Very pretty...curls suit you :)

  • Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

    AAAAHHHH....LOVE!!!

  • CocoLion replied 10 years ago

    This looks very pretty and soft, I like it on you!

  • Joy replied 10 years ago

    The curls are perfect for your twirly dresses. If you think you will take time to use it, please keep the device. The soft curls are lovely on you.

  • Summer replied 10 years ago

    Pretty! Very flattering on you!! I would love to give that thing a whirl. Getting my hair cut Friday....wonder if my stylist has one in her shop.

  • lyn* replied 10 years ago

    @ Tummy - All the stylists at my place had one :) It wouldn't hurt to ask. Some of them use the Conair version.

  • rae replied 10 years ago

    SO pretty! I missed the other post, but I am utterly jealous that your hair does this. *dramatic sigh*

  • Jaime replied 10 years ago

    Totally pretty!

  • lyn* replied 10 years ago

    @ Rae - You should give the thingy a try too - I didn't think it would work on my hair AT ALL. (btw; hour 8 approaches and it looks the same as hour 4).

  • elpgal replied 10 years ago

    Very impressed.YLF!

  • replied 10 years ago

    Very pretty

  • Wendy45 replied 10 years ago

    Lovely....I had my eye on that miracle curler...getting very tempting now! But I will wait to see how long it will last. Gotta be a little more patient! Great hairstyle!

  • lyn* replied 10 years ago

    Update - The curls lasted > 10 hours; I washed out my hair at night for work today, and it's straight again :)

  • pil replied 10 years ago

    I haven't gotten around to looking at your other hair posts yest, but wanted to say you look stunning with these curls.

  • Marley replied 10 years ago

    I am absolutely stunned at how wearing your hair down UPs your style quotient!!! And the curls? Beautiful?
