I love the Cuban Hair Wrap technique!!!

[vevster]

For night time, I love the method hotshot described where you use TWO rollers at the crown of the head and then wrap remaining hair around head securing with bobby pins.


I've typically wrapped using ONE roller and the second roller does make a difference.

Thanks Hotshot!!

Does it make your hair have more body or does it give your hair that sexy bump at the crown?

Interesting...

My sister always wraps her hair this ways. Give her layers a very nice lightly curled look.

Exactly! It is great! The most important thing I do for my hair is to wrap it at night.

 

[candibaby]

yep, thats what i did when i had layers/a bob.. works like a charm

 

[Allandra]

I do this when I wrap my hair (which is every blue moon) because it makes it easier to wrap my hair.

 

[Leslie_C]

hmm....making mental note!

 

[NYCQT16]

how can I find the explanation of this method?

 

[candibaby]

NYCQT, its really very easy. all you do is take a section of your hair at the crown, and roll it using magnetic rollers (i used red). then wrap the rest of your hair around it.

 

[Leslie_C]

so it looks like this(from Allandra's site)? except u use two rollers stacked instead of one?

[candibaby]

yep, pretty much.

 

[Isis]

Thanks, I'll have to try this method. I'm still learning how to wrap.

 

[NYCQT16]

Oh ok...cool...I think I need to try that! Thanks candibaby

 

[cutebajangirl]

I used to do this in high school, you get more height and swing from this than just one roller. I don't know why I stopped.

 

[hotshot]

glad to see it works! they use two or even three big leftover toilet paper rolls. so id imagine a roller that size would give the effect.

 

[daviine]

I did "el turno" a few days after hotshot posted the technique when I washed my hair. The rollerset part was beautiful (and I told myself I should start rollersetting again) but the wrap was only decent. I think I needed to do it a little tighter.

I didn't think to do it at night though. So I guess I should try that.

 

[daviine]

BTW--- Hi hotshot!

I know I owe you a letter---please don't be mad at me!

 

[Carlie]

...interesting...I was just reading about this the other day...if anyone is looking to have the appearance of more volume, I'm sure wrapping hair this way would help to achieve that.

I have a hair book from 1981 that talks about something similar. But they use three rollers and call it The Wraparound Set.

 

[Allandra]

That's how mine looks with those big ole rollers

(only I use two).

 

[TsAngel]

I use four. I love the look. I think it adds more body.

 

[Leslie_C]

hmmm, where do u position all four? two stacked and one on each side?

 

[TBird]

I have such a hard time wrapping my hair, I'll have to dry this. With the rollers in the top will you get the same effect is the hair is dry?

 

[ccd]

those who do this wrap...you do this on dry hair or wet?
Tbird...maybe you are asking this huh? sorry I just wanna be clear

 

[Leslie_C]

For me, wet wraps are too much tenstion on my hair and cause breakage...I tried it a few times and it was a tangled mess and would never dry so it kept falling down and my roots were poofy on the parts that did dry. talk about a disaster!

Now I CAN wrap my hair after its been set(roller set of flat ironed)...and even that took a while to get so maybe its just me!

I only wrap my hair after a roller set. I have never (and will never) wrap my hair while wet.
