No-Heat No-Hassle Curls || Hair Tutorial

I have had lots of requests for my No-Heat No-Hassle Curling method and I am so excited to finally sit down and share with you all!??? If you are like me, you have about 5 1/2 minutes to get your hair done on an average morning. This 5 1/2 minutes leaves very little time to pull out the curling irons and heat them up, let along curl your hair.  The average rollers or foam curlers leave me with a literal headache and lack of sleep! A few years ago I finally found a curling method that was heat, hassle, and pain free and can be done in just about 5 minutes. I actually will very often wear the curling updo(see picture 5) that produces the curls all throughout the day as it’s a super cute vintage look and then I will have fun healthy curls on day two! So, how about a step by step picture tutorial of my No-Heat No-Hassle curling technique? ✨

What you will need:

  • 1 Stretch Katherine Headwrap! I prefer the Stretch Velvet Katherine as it grips the hair wonderfully and keeps the hair safely tucked inside until you’re ready to release the curl.
  • A few bobby pins (I will only usually need 4-6)
  • Hairspray (completely optional)
  • A hairbrush

Helpful tips before starting:
-I do this curling method with my hair clean but about 96% dry. If your hair drys quickly after a shower, you may want to have it slightly more damp but not wet.
-My hair is naturally very silky in texture and and straight. I’ve found if I want to curl my hair, the best way for it to hold a curl is to NOT use conditioner and to blow dry. This removes excess moisture and allows the hair to hold a firmer longer lasting curl!
-I do smaller strands of hair to produce a curlier look but if you are looking for larger curls, do larger portions of hair each twist.

Let’s get started:

  1. ) Brush hair thoroughly, make sure your hair is parted as desired, and evenly divide hair in 2 equal portions(doesn’t have to be perfect just close :) ).  I will lay both portions over each shoulder to keep them separated! Clasp Katherine’s Stretch Velvet Headband around the head  just like you would wear a crown. Katherine Headband should be folded into about 1 inch thick band!
  2. ) Begin tightly twisting the first portion of your hair around the Headband starting at the top of your forehead working your way down to the base of the neck. With each twist grab a little more hair, firmly wrapping around the headband until you have woven all your hair from the first portion around 1/2 the headband and the end of that portion of hair is tucked in. Hair should end half way in the center of the nape/base of your neck! Repeat with 2nd the other side!
  3. Using bobby pins, firmly secure any loose ends at the base of the neck. If I am wearing this curling method/hairstyle throughout the day, I also secure with bobby pins near the ears to give the hairdo a slight lift.
  4. Spray with hairspray if desired! This will help the hair hold it’s curl better once it’s down.
  5. Leave in curling updo overnight!
  6.  Day 2. Remove all bobby pins, unclasp Katherine Stretch Velvet Headband, and gently shake hair out releasing the headband and revealing the curls. Do not use a hair brush for this portion. I will just gently massage the scalp and curls with my fingers to loosen!
  7. Enjoy!

” Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.”
Proverbs 31:30

Grace & Peace

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord”
2 Peter 1:2

Grace & Peace. That is what I am praying for each of you who stop by our blog this lovely Sunday! I pray the God of hope fills you with all joy and peace[Rom 15:13] as He gives that “more grace” promised in James 4:6, “But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” His grace is an all-sufficient grace, “My grace is sufficient for thee“[2 Cor 12:9]. And His peace? It is a perfect peace.? “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.“ [Is 26:3]I have been reminded this past week how the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding can be ours as we in everything by prayer and supplication, WITH THANKSGIVING, let our requests be made known to God[Philippians 4:6-7]. As we do that we are promised that “the peace of God, which passeth all understanding” will guard our hearts through Christ Jesus! We are told in Psalm 55:22 to “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” and then again in 1 Peter 5:7 to cast our cares upon the Lord! Why?? Because He cares for us!! We have perfect peace and sufficient grace in Christ Jesus our Lord. So today, I pray Grace and peace would be multiplied unto you. Happy Sunday! ♥

1 Peter 1:3-5

Soaring above…. || Random thought

“From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”
Psalm 61:2

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31

How is that for a promise? To mount up with wings like the eagle! Did you know The Lord has designed the eagle to use the storms winds to lift it higher? It’s true! And as we face storms of life, by God’s strength, we can become spiritually stronger and soar higher in the midst of them. I’m reminded of James 1 where it says:

“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.”
James 1:2-4

If you’re in the midst of a stormy trial today, wait upon the Lord(Psalm 130:5), hope in His mercies(Ps 147:11), and rest in His strength(Psalm 37:7-11 »2 Cor 12:8-10 ). He will give you wings like the eagle and promises to renew your strength! ✨ And if you need prayer today, send us an email! I would be honored to pray for you!

“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”
Psalm 103:2-5
