Wrap half of your hair around the sock tightly, and wrap down to your hairā€™s ends. Donā€™t wrap your hair around the sock loosely, where it looks like the stripes of candy cane. Go tight! From there, place the part of the sock that was in your mouth (or in the clip) over your wrapped hair. Pull it up over your hair to secure it in place. Go to sleep, and youā€™ll have sock curls the next day!Ā 

If you think this is a lot to follow, your results will have you feeling otherwise. Having heatless, strong curls that will last through the day has made it a popular beauty secret. No longer are the days using extra time to curl your hair, or worrying about the damage styling tools cause. With sock curls, achieving a look full of volume couldnā€™t be easier.Ā 

This trend is also achievable for any type of sleeper. Whether you like laying on your side, back, or stomach, your sock curls will stay on your head through the night. It doesnā€™t matter what type of socks, either. As long as you have socks, hopping on this trend should be easy.Ā 

If you want to wake up with perfect curls and have your hair already done, try sock curls. I have a feeling you wonā€™t regret it.
