How to Make Your Own No Sew Hair Curlers

I’ve been around the web and I’ve seen different ways for us to roll our hair minus store-bought rollers or curling irons.  You can pin curl or flat pin curl (yes there is a difference) , rag curl, foil curl (haha, I’m not kidding click the link to see the video, I’m going try it for giggles this weekend but can honestly say that I don’t think I’d use it on a regular basis as it’s a waste of foil), or you can make some curlers by sewing or crochet a set and go to it.

Me, I like rollers, didn’t own any at the moment, and decided yesterday that by golly I was going to have some; the thing is though I wanted something quick that was no sew because I didn’t feel like taking out the sewing machine …

So here you have it,  panty hose (nylon stocking)

no sew hair curlers

Get your supplies

  • hose (used and washed is fine even if there was a small snag) you get 4 rollers per, ya ken?  You do the math on how many you’d like.
  • scissors
  • polyfill (or stuffing from old pillow)
  • cap to Tresemme moose (if you have it, to help measure stuffing)

Directions:

Gather your supplies for the project

Cut legs off hose so you have two long tubes

Cut each leg into 2 equal lengths.

Tie knot about 1 and 1/2 inch from one end, leaving other end open for now

Take handful of pillow filling to stuff your curler. I use the lid from my Tresemme mousse to measure the correct amount, I stuff that til it won't stuff any more and that's the correct amount. If you don't have a cap for the mousse anymore just eyeball it.

Stuff your stocking with the filling. It should be the size of a medium potato.

Tie a loose knot to hold your stuffing in like this for bigger curls. Feel free to use a permanent marker and put a smilie face on it.

For smaller curls spread the filling out rather than keeping it in a ball.

And come morning you'll have some lovely locks! Even if it's so bright before coffee that you have to wear shades like I did :-)


I made a video to make this tutorial even easier but need to edit it before posting :-)
