Seriously, this took three minutes to do to damp hair and then I went to bed. Imagine how it will change your life when you can go from plane to party (like I did) and don’t have to even so much as pack that curling iron? You’ll need a headband like THIS.

Update: The real beauty here is that you can kind of control your curl. For kind of tousled curls, sleep in it like I did in the first picture. The second shot is a different day – I walked around a conference like that for a full day and then yanked the headband for the party that night. The result was a tighter, cleaner, more vintage-y pin curl. For more of a loose finger wave, wear it for an hour or two. I did the video below last night, pulled the headband before bed, and here’s what I’ve got this morning:

//Update.
I never in a million years thought I would do a hair tutorial, but I was wrong. Even if you don’t care about hair though, watch the video because I used a cool song that I’m obsessed with right now. Thanks to John for letting me do that.
{Update: …A song so cool, in fact that I was whistling it while making this video. Scott has since pointed out that I have a total duckface on. Dammit.}

Get lost in The Valley...
@the818 No-heat curls never work right for me, but I’m tempted to try this technique!
@mollyprior You should try these, I’m obsessed.
@the818 just bought the headband 5 minutes ago. No joke! Attempting this tonight.
@mamainlalaland You will LOVE. I’ve done it like four times in the past week.
@the818 can I say I appreciate your video. Music and no taking. Makes it easy to pay attention!
@mamainlalaland Haha – thank you. That is how I always wish tutorials were, I get bored SOFAST.
@the818 same which is why I watched yours and actually paid attention! And know what I’m doing!
@the818 Love it. I’ve been doingit awhile and find that if I do it in the AM in about 6 hours I have great curl. Maybe wavy hair helps?
@alexandrawrote I think it might…
@the818 wow very nice! jealous my hair would never do that!

@the818 tried it twice before (one sorta fail, one epic fail) but trying again tonight
Can you post a direct link to the video? I cannot watch it through the site. : (

@tweetgraciemack I haven’t gotten it yet–I have my hair in an updo because it is Shaggey McShaggerson. I see Val tomorrow and I can’t wait!
