Braiding your hair is a great way to make your hair wavy, not curly. It's almost mistake-proof.
If you want to curl your hair, real curls not waves, then you have to use some kind of curlers. You could try foam or plastic ones that you can sleep in. That way you aren't spending over an hour in the bathroom in the morning.

it all depends on your hair type which will determine how wavy or curly it will be. I'm African American with thick relaxed hair. I've worn that style many times. If i want it really curly. I make several small bantu knots all over, or I make sure the hair is moisturized with a bit of water and a moisturizer. Then I braid the front 2 or 3 braids really small and tight each in opposite directions and I wrap the ends around a really small rod. If you don't have a rod you can use a bobby pin, or twist up a thin piece of paper and wrap the hair around it and tie it. Then braid the rest of the hair going back in cornrows and roll the ends with a rod, bobby pin, or paper. This will last for several days.

NO!! Take it out imediatly! Your hair will be huge and crimpey (not curly) like bad 80's hair. If you want curly hair buy curlers or a curling iron. Both will look good if you do it right.

I have tried that many times, and I woke up with awful hair. The ends that weren't in the braid looked funny and frizzy. I tried many variations of this, and was unsuccessful everytime...
I suggest you invest in some curling options to do in teh morning
Spiral curlers, hot rollers, etc.
If you decide to do it... good luck!

well when i want to make my hair curly i jus put it in a messy bun when i get out of the shower! then when i get up i take jel and mouse and mix it up and crunched !! note it is a good idea to have a head-band on hand !! ( the front looks flat )

its not going to be curly it will be wavy wash and dry your hair and do it right after that make sure that you put the rubber band way down at the end of your hair

don't do that it'll come out frizzy
you can try putting 1 tbsp or 1 tsp (sorry i don't remember but i think its tbsp) of salt into one cup of water and spritzing it on your hair that should make it curly
but don't blow dry it...then it won't work
