How to get Gorgeous Curly Hair- With a Pencil!
ChannelIMikhaelaIn brief
You’ll create voluminous, defined curls using a pencil and heat—ideal for thick, long hair. The creator shares their method for achieving this look, including optional foil for even heat distribution and tips for adjusting curl size or length based on hair type. Suitable for anyone with curly hair, regardless of texture or origin.
Key steps
- Secure with foil (optional) to distribute heat evenly.
- Use a flat iron on high heat to seal curls in place.
- Flip hair upside down and blow-dry briefly to elongate curls.
- Apply heat protectant before styling to minimize damage.
Questions & answers
How long does this method take?
About 1.5 to 2 hours for thick, long hair.
Can I use this for short hair?
Yes, but use larger wooden sticks (1-inch diameter) to avoid tight, poodle-like curls.
How far in advance should I do this if my curls loosen?
A few hours before going out—try afternoon styling for evening events.
Description from the creator
On request from the many who asked me how I achieve this look, well here it is!
5 Most Asked Questions:
1.How long did this take you? I have very thick and long hair; this took me roughly about 1.5hrs - 2hrs.
2.Do you have to use the foil?
No, thats optional. It just find that it helps distribute heat evenly.
3.Will this method damage my hair?
When applying any sort of heat to the hair, I recommend putting on a heat protecting solution; as any heat to the hair is not that great for your hair especially if you frequently apply heat to your hair on a daily basis. When washing the hair, to prevent knots and tangles, use a good bit of conditioner in your hair and leave it in for about 5-10min before rinsing. This method is not anymore harmful then just straightening or regularly curling your hair.
4.What if I have short hair?
If you have short hair, I would not recommend tight curls the size of a pencil; that will give you super short poodley-like hair. Try a bigger size, like 1inch size curls. It will look fabulous! Go to any craft store and find bigger wooden sticks.
5. How do I get my curls longer?
Flip your hair upside down and blow dry your hair evenly for about half a minute (depending on your hair type), but be careful doing this as you want just enough heat to loosen the curls a little, not to take your curls right out! If your hair does not hold curls well, having really fine hair, leave it be as during the day the curls loosen on their own. So if you're planning on going out that night, do this method a few hrs before, maybe in the afternoon.
For all hair types!
1. Pencil
2. Aluminum Foil- Helps distribute heat evenly
3. Flat Iron- With high heat temperatures
Enjoy!
Correction** a lot of people, different races have this type of hair and maybe not as exactly as I described it, I gave it a general mild description.,I didn't feel like going into detail about it, there's no need to. This is just a video on how to get this type of hair NO MATTER who you are, what race you are or where you are from. In fact, it's irrelevant. So relax people. If you like this hair, here it is, if not, then it's just not for you. It's that simple. Who cares about the rest. I said African American because I originally was inspired by my close friends (who are African American) and have this hair, there's nothing strange or odd or RACIST about that! Some of ya'll need to quit finding things to be mad about... There are only good intentions here! P.S. Sorry, I know my lighting is bad!
