What you need
Steps
Brush your hair until it is smooth and knot free. Dampen it lightly with water so it is slightly damp, not soaking wet.
Place the headband on your head like a crown, resting just behind your hairline and over your ears.
Part your hair down the middle and split it into two equal sections, one on each side.
Take a small section from one side and wrap it around the headband, going over the top and back under.
Add a little more hair to the same strand each time and keep wrapping until you reach the end.
Repeat on the other side, wrapping in the opposite direction so the curls sit evenly.
Secure each wrapped end with a scrunchie so the hair cannot slip loose overnight.
Sleep with the headband in place. A silk pillowcase helps reduce frizz.
In the morning, slide the headband off gently and let the curls fall. Do not pull or tug.
Separate the curls with your fingers and add a drop of serum to smooth the ends.
Tips and common mistakes
Wrap the hair snug but not tight, since a tight headband can leave dents and cause headaches.
Start with hair that is about 70 percent dry, as soaking wet hair may still be damp in the morning.
Do not brush the finished curls, or they will turn into frizz. Use your fingers only.
Smaller sections give tighter curls, while larger sections give loose waves.
Questions
How long do I need to leave the headband in?
Leave it in for at least 6 to 8 hours, so overnight works best. If you are in a hurry, 3 to 4 hours on damp hair can still give soft waves.
Can I do this on short hair?
Yes, as long as your hair reaches your shoulders. Shorter hair slips out of the wrap more easily, so use smaller sections and a slightly wider headband.
How do I stop the curls from falling flat?
Finish with a light hold hairspray or a small amount of mousse before you wrap. Avoid heavy products, which weigh the waves down.
