5. BRAIDING METHOD.

Here even hair clips are not needed. Just by making breads the curls can be created.

Preparing hairs for braiding.

• Wash them and towel dry hairs. Also comb to remove any knot.
• Make two sections of hairs by taking the middle line as dividing line.
• Divide these sections in three strands. For loose curls, two brands are enough and for tight curls make three brands and braid them.

• This method will take long time, compare to other methods.
• Loose the braid when they are dry after several hours.
• Just run fingers for beautiful curls.

6. EASY AND LIGHT WAVE

This is similar to the braiding method. But instead of making two or three strands of hairs and then braiding them, only two sections are made and they are just twisted and ends secured with hair tie or rubber band.

Preparing hairs for easy and light waves.

7. STRIPS OF CLOTH TO MAKE TIGHT CURLS.

Here long strips from any cloth or t shirt are used to roll with hairs and make curls.

Preparing for this method.

• Wash hair without using any serum or conditioners. And dry with a towel.
• The number of strips and their width depends on the width of section of hairs to want to make into curls.
• For smaller curls make narrow strips and for large curls make at least 3 inches wide strips.
• Put the end of sections of the hair with strip and roll towards the scalp. At the top of the head, tie the ends of strips to keep rolled hairs in place.
• Now give lot of time or go to sleep
• Untied hairs and for tight curls remove strips gently and for loose curls just comb with wide tooted comb to   separate the curls into waves.
