Magic Rag Curls

Recently Katie, over at Skunkboy Creatures, did a post on rag curls. Rag curls are a way to curl you hair without a curling iron and according to her create bouncy, crazy curls. Since I had never heard of such a thing, being such a tomboy up until I was 12 and became gothic after that, I googled a few videos and tried it for myself. Basically you just cut strips of fabric, wrap wet hair around them, and tie it up. Then you sleep,  a little uncomfortably, on them and in the morning you have insane curls.

So, in review, you go to bed like this.



 And wake up like this!
It's really gorgeous except my feathers didn't like it too much haha! They're so wonky today.

I style it with the top pulled back a little because I don't like frizzy curls touching my cheeks all day. 

Thank you, Katie, for the recommendation! There is no way I could do this with a curling iron. I'm really in love with this look. :)
Love and Turtledoves,
Jacqueline
