If
you are a mom on the go with long hair you HAVE TO try this. It will
knock your socks off and have you wrapping your hair up in them! This
is all about how to make your hair beautiful with no heat and no time.
Curl your hair in your sleep with a sock.
Yup, you heard me right. Have you heard of this sock bun? You
really can curl your hair in your sleep with a sock. If you have ever
ran out the door in a sweat, with two different earnings in, desperately
trying to throw some bobby pins in your hair in hopes that you don’t
look like a mess. You know what I am talking about Mom’s – This is for
you. In my house I get everyone else in the family ready first. They
are all looking adorable for every function before I have even given a
thought to what I am going to do to with my own hair. Any busy mom
knows exactly what I mean. Whatever time is left is what determines
your look for the day (good or bad), right?
I was very skeptical at first. Basically they were
saying that you could wrap your hair in a sock overnight and wake up
with beautiful curls. Before I started staying home with my kiddos I
was a cosmetologist by trade. I am forever trying new products and
styling techniques, and love all things that have to do with hair. Now
that I am a mom of two, my hair is at the bottom of the list of things
to worry about. It’s more about looking presentable than having a great
style each day. This blows me away.
Why?
Because:
- It literally takes a minute to do
- NO heat at all – just a soft little sock in your hair
- No product (for me anyway)
- You can sleep in it very comfortably
- It works Marvelously and is simple beautiful
This is the sock bun before and after of my hair. I have long hair
with a cut that includes a lot of layering. I have a natural wave to my
hair and would say it curls very easily. From what I have read, this
works on hard to curl hair too. I do not have to use product for this
to work in my hair.
Here are the step by step instructions on how to make this work.
First steal a sock from your husband’s dress sock collection (that is
what I did anyway). I chose a longer, thinner dress sock. Cut off the
toe of the sock.
Now roll the sock into a ring. This is now your new favorite hairstyling
styling tool, I promise you! This is all you need to make the curls in
the picture above. To do this you start with dry hair.
Put your dry hair into a high ponytail. Get it as high on top of your
head as you can. I flip my head over and gather the hair to put into a
ponytail. Secure the hair with a hair tie.
Now spritz just the hair in your ponytail with water. You do not
want it to be wet. I would call it slightly damp. Remember you want
it to dry overnight – if it is too wet it will not dry completely.
After you have tried this a few times you will know the perfect dampness
for your own hair.
Now grab your rolled up sock and put your ponytail through the hole.
Pull the sock straight up to the tip of your ponytail. When you pull
the sock to the top of your ponytail – slide it back down just a bit.
With the hair that is sticking out spread it all the way around the sock
evenly. After the hair is spread around the sock it should go up and
over the sock and then get tucked under the sock. You should now have
all of the ends of your hair neatly underneath the sock ring so you can
begin rolling the hair onto the sock. Start rolling the sock down so
your hair is being fed through the hole, then up and around the sock.
Now simply roll all of your hair onto the sock until you reach the
base of your ponytail. Try to keep the ponytail straight up while you
roll so that the hair is taught.
When you are finished rolling the hair onto the sock you have a bun
on top of your head. I’m not going to lie I have dropped off my son at
school with the bun in my hair. There is no need to secure it with
anything else. It will stay put perfectly just the way it is. Now go
to sleep and dream about how beautiful your hair will be when you
awake! In the morning remove the bun and TA-DA!!! You have a head full
of soft pretty curls.
This is my new go-to styling technique. I have been doing this at
least four times a week to my hair. It looks great all down, in a
simple ponytail, or half up. I would do this for a fancy evening out or
to curl my hair for an up-do as well. It gives me such natural
looking perfect curls. So simple and so beautiful. Anyone can do
this. It is nice to be able to leave the house and not feel like a mess
for a change. This look is quite different from my normal hair in a
messy bun because I ran out of time to do anything with it look – and it
takes the same amount of time.
Hello everyone, today I'm going to give you some ultimate secrets about how to heal your pain after breakup. How many of you have got this pain actually? I guess 95% answers will be 'yes I got" :D So lets be careful to read today's featured topic "How to heal Breakup Pains"
- Time heals all wounds. However, when you have a broken heart, you sometimes aren’t sure if you are going to make it through the day. Here are 10 ways you can help to heal your broken heart.
- Cry: Science shows that crying does help. HealthCentral's Jerry Kennard states,
“The physical effects of crying do indeed show that once crying stops,
the body moves from a state of high arousal to one more associated with
relaxation. Breathing and heart rate slows, sweating decreases and the
period of the relaxed state tends to last longer than the time spent
crying.” So, take the time to cry and grieve for your relationship.
- Take one small step toward healing each day: You probably don’t feel like getting off the couch or even
climbing out of bed, but you must. Commit to one positive action each
day and sooner or later these actions will start to become normal again.
Exercise for 15 minutes, take a walk, cook yourself a spectacular meal,
get a new haircut, or take yourself out to eat.
- Create distance between you and your ex: You feel alone and you desperately want some type of connection to your
ex, or you are ready for separation and your ex won’t leave you alone—he
calls, sends emails or stops by. Every time you talk with your ex, you
postpone your healing. Let your ex know that you need distance in order
to heal and then stick to going without talking, no matter how hard it
is in the beginning. Remember, it will get easier each day.
- Keep yourself busy: Make a list of activities - no matter how small - that you can use
to keep yourself busy. Your list might include taking a walk, shopping,
cleaning the hallway closet, seeing a movie, reading a book, or getting
together with friends. What the activity is isn’t as important as
simply giving yourself something to do other than sitting around feeling
sorry for yourself or sliding into depression.
- Talk to friends: If you were in a serious, committed relationship, you probably
talked to your ex every day. If you lived together or were married, you
have become accustomed to having someone there all the time. Now that
your ex isn’t around, life seems lonely. Contact friends and let them
know what is going on – ask if you can call just to talk for a few
minutes. Hearing a friendly voice can do a lot to help improve your
outlook.
- Clear the clutter: Most long-term relationships include clutter. It might be text
messages in your phone, items left at your house or being "friends" on
social networks. Get rid of the clutter from the relationship so you
aren’t faced with constant reminders of what you lost.
- Remind yourself what is good about yourself: Break-ups tend to wreak havoc on your self-esteem, especially if
your partner is the one who left. After all, a break-up is a rejection.
If the break-up was messy, your partner may have brought up everything
wrong with you. Instead of focusing on what he or she found wrong, write
a list of your good qualities and traits. Keep it posted where you can
see it every day.
- Take care of yourself: During the days and weeks after a breakup, it is easy to skip meals
because you aren’t hungry or overeat to mask the pain. Your thoughts may
keep you up at night. This is a time when it’s very easy to ignore your
personal needs. Avoid the temptation to do that. This is when you
really need to take care of yourself.
- Accept that you need time to heal: There is no right or wrong amount of time to heal from a broken
heart. If it has been a few weeks and you are still feeling down, it is
okay. Remind yourself that each day will be just a little easier. Keep
moving forward and you will begin to notice that you think about the
relationship a little less each day.
- Find a new hobby: In long-term relationships, most of your activities probably
involved your ex and when you do them now, the grief starts all over.
Think about what you would like to do or learn, such as taking a class
at a local college or learning how to paint. You might have a hobby that
you have ignored during the relationship. Now is a good time to
rekindle your interests.
