how do you put hair in ringlets using rags?

Answer 1

Cut lengths of rags at least twice the length of the hair, tie one end at the scalp end and wind hair around rag til the end of hair, then wind the remaining length of rag back up to the scalp end and tie in a knot or bow, leave overnight take out in morning.

my mum used to do this when I was little, i hated getting them in.

Answer 2

The longer the hair the longer the rags you'll need. Use an old t shirt or something else cotton.
Cut in into 4 cm strips. Its best to start from the parting and crown and work down the head otherwise the loose hair will get in your way. The sections of hair you work with depending on the thickness of the hair and whether it curls easily or not but I would recommend going for a strip the width of a finger. Too much and it won;t dry, too small and you'll get an afro effect.
Hold one end of your rag tightly and put it at the root of a section of hair. Use the other hand to grip the hair and wrap it around the rag. You can twist the hair at the same time for a coiled effect. Keep the strands of hair as smooth as possible while you wrap so that the ringlets are smooth when dry. Keep the hair and the rag taut and then when the hair is wrapped to the end, tie the ends of the rag together so that it is tight against the head. The tighter the rag and hair, the tighter the ringlet.
You may want to use a styling product to help hold the ringlets as they dry.
Work your way across the whole head in this way and use smaller strips and larger strips to create variety in the ringlets as preferred.
It is much easier to do this with the help of the person whose hair is being ragged as they can help hold the rags while you twist the hair. You can guide their hand up to hold the right bit!
It is very difficult to do it to yourself.

Answer 3

Use rag strips about 1" wide and 8" long. Take a 1" strand of hair and, starting close to your head, wrap the hair around the middle of the rag. When all the hair is wrapped, tie the rag in a knot to hold the hair in. Do this when your hair is damp, not real wet. You can also do it with dry hair, and wet it after the rags are in, but it won't be as effective. Let hair dry on its own, or blow it dry. Untie the rags and you have ringlets!

Answer 4

you can use kitchen towel instead of rags - usually easier to get hold of a lot of it...

1) Concertina fold a sheet of kitchen towel till it's about 4cm or 5cm wide
2) Wind a strand of hair (big strand for chunky ringlets, thin strand for more frizzy) around the paper towel winding along the length as well as around and around
3) Tie the end of the paper towel together
4) Repeat till all your hair is wound up
5) Make sure you wind all the strand either towards your scalp or away from it for a more even look

I hope that helps you. You might be better trying on your hair the day after you've washed it. You can also do it with slightly damp hair and let the curls dry in but some peoples hair goes all frizzy this way.

Happy curling!

Answer 5

Its easier with help from another person.
You need to attach one end of a long, thin piece of fabric to your head(easier if someone holds it there for you, but you can use a firm hairclip), and a section of hair round and round it, tightly. you then pinch the end of the hair to the end of the rag, and wrap the rag round and round the 'sausage' of hair you have just made. when you have wrapped the rag back up to your scalp, you then tie the two ends of rag together. Repeat all over your head. In the morning, when you take the fabric out of your hair, you should have ringlets all over your head. It is very uncomfortable to sleep on, but very effective for very straight hair. I hope that description made some sense, because it would be much easier to describe using pictures, or a demonstration....I just looked it up and there is a better description on 'About':

Answer 6

you could make confident your hair is in elementary terms slightly damp (yet no longer lots), then get a finger or pencil and wrap your hair around it. Use a hair dryer to thoroughly dry it and it is going to curl. they even have little curling irons which will do small ringlets.
