How to curl your hair with balloons
It might be time to grab the spare balloons from the bottom drawer in the kitchen and attempt this quirky hair-curling technique. It requires no heat, just good old fashioned balloons.
Method:
- Start by arming yourself with the tools. Blow up between six and 10 balloons so that you are prepared. Blow them up so they are still soft to touch – this makes them easier to navigate and will hold the hair better.
- Pop your hair into a high pony and then start to section off the hair into small three to four centimetre sections. Remember the bigger the section, the bigger the curl.
- Wind your hair around a balloon until you have reached the end of the section. Using a bobby pin, secure the hair onto the wound hair and balloon. You might also want to bobby pin the bottom as this will give you a stronger hold.
- Continue until you have your whole ponytail ballooned.
- Give your hair time to dry and set before removing the balloons.
- Give your locks a good tousle and spritz with some hairspray to help encourage the curls to stay put.
