So Cheap, Practical, Effective and Versatile!

All you need is an old

So let's begin! These illustrations are all made by me using Photoshop cs2,

TIP #1: Best time to rag curl your hair is after shampoo and conditioner, slighty damp or dry.
As long as its oil/sweat free.

TIP #2 : Positive attitude and patience is important during first trials xD

TIP #3: The thicker the strands of hair you curl in 1 rag- the bigger the curl.
The thinner the tighter.

TIP #4: Make sure that the ends doesn't stick out when you are about to tie the rag.

TIP #5: Just tie the knot tight enough, but not over tight because it will hurt your hair smile.gif

TIP #5: Don't worry if some of the knots aren't consistently neat, they will curl no matter what xD

TIP #6: Do not ever brush or comb the curls, just use minimal finger combing smile.gif

And yay!

Old pictures with rag curls, my hair was looonger then and really thick, I just curled from the length from to the ends and waited until they lose.

Oh, okay. XDDD; Thanks~!
I've only been able to find a paper bag curling tutorial. xD;; But I didn't like the style, it kinda gives you the same curls as goldilocks. o_x

Oh Oyen this is amazing but after watching and reading about 50 million tutorials I still don't get how to wrap the hair for a perfect curl..

I tried wrapping the strand around the piece of rag and tying it but it comes out in funny waves..

Ahh help ;-;

its really easy if you lay the strip of cloth alone a tube shaped object, such as a glue stick or lipstick, roll the hair around it, tie, then pull the tube out. :)
