How Bout Dem Curls? A Simply Divine DIY

     Here's a great solution to being bored on a weekend morning, possibly after a run! I wish I could say that the results are instantaneous, but they're not--in reality, a decent result can be reached after a long night of sleep, and the BEST results come after about a night of sleep, a full day, and another night. With wet hair. But it's 100% worth it! Here's how to get great curls without hurting your hair, totally natural and never losing their shape.

     Here's what you'll need:

*hair ties (I used four for mine, but two work too, whatever you've got on hand)

*a shower

*a pillow

*a head of hair

     Here's what you won't need:  (curling iron, blowdryer, crazy curlers from the fifties, or Renge)

1. Shower, bathe, do something. Just get your hair all wet. I wouldn't recommend wetting it by pool or by body of salt water, because chances are it'll just tangle your hair up instead of getting it all shiny and smooth and impressionable.

2. Braid your hair into the same amount of braids as you have hair ties. I used four ties, I made four braids. Maybe you'll use two ties, so you'll make two braids. This is a cool style all on its own!

3. Go to sleep overnight, or take a seriously long nap like any adolescent longs for. This will imprint your wet and very impressionable hair into the braid design, and it'll get curly without you noticing it, because you'll be asleep! Magic.

4. Wake up, and if your hair does virtually whatever you want it to, take out your braids and just sort of toss around your head a la 80s hair bands or Willow Smith. But not too much, or it'll get frizzy! If your hair is like mine and is pretty unmanageable, keep the braids in for the day. They look really cool, I think, sort of like an octopus. But in a good way! A good way! Maybe that was the wrong comparison. But seriously, go ahead, keep 'em in for the whole day. If you think they look THAT BAD, heck, it's only the weekend anyway. Then do your everyday activities. Watch black and white movies FO FREE, FO SHIZZLE at http://www.bnwmovies.com or possibly anime like Black Butler or Ouran Highschool Host Club; go hiking/running with your running buddy; organize a mega trading party with your nerdiest friends in order to swap all your favorite merchandise from Think Geek; compose perfectly structured haikus a la Gerald (TESS!) in honor of spring-is-almost-here; or write your biffle or Mongolian pen pal a letter and decorate with stickers from A.C. Moore. It'll be FUN!

5. Repeat step 3, followed by the first part of 4. And there you have it! You'll notice that the curls won't really frizz in any humidity level, or lose their shape. They're pretty darn perfect at the end of this long process. But hey! You'll get two cool and totally new hairstyles at the end of this ordeal, and maybe you'll find your new look... mi sento utile!

     Have fun on your adventures! As always, be complete trendsetters and look like octopi... or better yet, SQUIDS! Again, 100% worth it...
