and heres is how u use them:
Shampoo and condition your hair as usual, and let it dry until it's barely damp. If your hair hates to hold a curl, fingercomb some setting lotion through it. If you don't have the time or inclination to wash your hair, use a mister to dampen your hair instead.

Section your hair into 1/2" - 1" sections.

Take one of your rags, and lay it alongside a section of hair so that about an inch of the rag is above the roots.

Smooth the strand of hair, and wrap it around the rag in a spiral. Wrapping the hair tightly will give you tighter curls, Wrapping the spiral tighter (using less of the rag) will give you springier curls. Leave yourself at least an inch at the bottom of the rag.

Tie the two ends of the rag together making sure that the ends of the strand aren't sticking out anywhere, and you're done with your first rag! Finish up the rest of the sections of hair and tie them off neatly.

It's time for bed! Go ahead and sleep on your rags. If you left your hair a bit wet, you might consider putting a towel over your pillow - but make sure it's a well-used one, so you don't end up with towel-lint in your curls.

When you wake up the next morning, gently untie your rags - you'll end up with some wonderful sausage curls. A quick spritz of gentle-hold hairspray, and maybe a pretty scarf tied into a headband, and you're ready to head out the door with some great curls. If you'd prefer less obvious ringlets, gently comb through each curls with a wide-tooth comb once or twice, then through your whole head of curls.

..hope that helped..

My mother used to use them on me and she would just wind my wet hair loosely around the rag then bring the ends together and tie them. With my hair there was no such thing as loose curls. She also used strips of grocery bags to do this. I always looked like I just had a tight curly perm done.

Answer 4

while hair is damp...make small sections..the smaller the section..the more rags you will have, so you will have more curl...with your fingers..roll your hair into a loop..it can be close to your scalp..or just at the bottom..depending upon where you want the curl or wave to start from....
while holding the loop...pull through a piece of the rag. & tie closed...let your hair dry...you will finger comb it..when it's dry and either have many curls if you used many rags or just loose waves if you used fewer.

just find a shirt that you dont like and rip it in stripes and then you start form the bottom and tie it at the top
