Fabric of Hair Educates: The Straw Set for Summer Curls 🥸
Straw set curls are a tight version of corkscrew curls, popular in the mid-20th century. The straw set method of curling hair is used for naturally curly hair, African American hair, as well as straight and chemically relaxed hair.
Drinking straws and bobby pins are essentially all that are needed to create this curly, versatile hairdo.
The diameter of the drinking straw determines the diameter of the curl.
The Process:
The first step in the straw set method is shampooing and conditioning your hair according to your usual nourishing wash routine.
Prevent breakage of hair by using a wide-toothed comb for detangling.
Assemble straw set curl supplies: a rat-tailed comb, hair clips, drinking straws, setting lotion and bobby pins.
Note: Scissors are also needed if you plan to cut the straws.
Straw Set
A straw set allows you to gain control of naturally textured hair, but it is also a popular style for people with straight hair who want lots of curls.
Short hair can also be set with straws in horizontal ↔️or vertical rows↕️.
Medium-length or long hair should be set in vertical rows↕️
For short, horizontal rows, cut straws to the desired length. Medium or long hair uses full-length straws.
Curling Hair
Setting lotion is applied to strands of hair before each strand is twisted around a straw.
Fasten the rolled hair to the straw with bobby pins inserted into the straw at the top and bottom.
Smaller sections create tighter curls; larger sections create looser curls.
Style
After hair is completely dry under the dryer remove hair pins and gently twist each straw back and forth to dislodging it from the straw without disturbing the curl.
Leave hair as it is, or rub a small amount of oil into the palms of your hands and run your fingers through your hair for a loose curly effect.
