Hair Stylist Shows How To Curl Hair With Empty Toilet Rolls

One hair salon is teaching us how to do curls at home using just some empty loo rolls, and let us tell you it's an absolute isolation VIBE.

Just a few short weeks ago toilet paper was a rare commodity, but now that stock levels are (thankfully) back to normal, we're loving this trick to use empty rolls for your at-home curls.

Ozzie Rizzo, a London-based luxury hair salon, has shared the incredible method and it looks so easy - not to mention better for your hair that applying loads of heat.

I mean, can you believe these were done with loo roll cardboard?

To achieve the curls, you'll need a hair dryer, some bobby pins or sectioning clips, a paddle brush, wide toothed comb, some shooting hair cream or oil, some hair spray, and the star - about 10 loo roll tubes, or less if you hair is less thick. So go dig them out of your recycling!

Start with freshly washed hair, which you should dry as flat as you can with a paddle brush.

Next, apply a small drop of small drop of cream or oil to your locks and run the product through your hair with your fingertips.

Next, you need to section your hair into sections roughly three to four inches wide.

It's curl time. Grab your empty loo rolls and, starting from the ends, wrap your hair around the rolls continuing to the base. Once done, secure the curl with a sectioning clip or bobby pin.

A tip is to be sure to always roll backwards from face so your curls bounce away from the face when they're taken out.
Continue this round the whole head.

When you're done, apply a generous amount of hairspray, then turn your hairdryer on and hols heat on each roll for roughly 10 seconds.

After, unclip and unravel each roll slowly, continuing around the whole head until all the curls are undone.

Finally, brush through the hair a wide-toothed comb or soft brush and finish off with a spray of hair spray.

The result: amazing curls. Amazing, eh?!
