      Gorgeous. After you separated them a little, wow!.
      My grandma did rag curls ,and strips of brown paper bags ( from grocers),hard to sleep on paper. We wrapped much larger sections of hair ,like the girl did. You have the patience of Job!
      I'm white ,my grandbabies are in college and biracial. I wonder if either would let me do this to them.
      What two products did you use to wet your hair ?
      By the way ,I thi you looked even better than the girl whose video you watched.
      You looked absolutely beautiful . Those curls look amazing on you ,the way you did them( separating put a ,comb in side , and pinned top curl over to other side.
      Watching how much work you did ,with all that hair, and how patient you are ,reminded me of all the work I had to do when doing my twin granddaughters hair.
      They both have incredibly gorgeous hair.....like six heads full ! Lol. I loved buying and putting in all the hair " jewelery" for them when they were small, and elementary school age. I wish I could have had that for my hair as a child. I'd trade my hair with theirs in a nano-minute! They can wear so many amazing hair styles
      Curly or straight. My daughter in law should open a salon. She always looks like a professional did her gorgeous hair !
      One grand baby has an S curve ,the other has a Z. curl. There is a lot you learn about diff textures of hair by having diversity in your family! I have fine ,straight ,boring hair. I'm so glad they didn't get my or their fathers hair. Can't do alot with it. It breaks off really easy ,being dry and SO fine. I hate it !. Nothing super gorgeous like my girls , and daughter in law, or you can do. I'm envious!
      I subscribed. First time I watched you. You're funny ,upbeat ,and I can't wait to watch more of your videos
      I'll have to tell my granddaughters to watch you. I'll bet they subscribe !
      Take care. Thank you for showing that.

    I've tried various ways to curl my hair with without using heated products, and this is by far the most comfortable (because I sleep on them), and effective way (longer lasting without having to use a lot of hair products). I have to be careful separating the hairs though, because if I separate and brush too much, it looks like a ridiculous cotton ball. You look awesome.

    My mom would do this to my hair when I was little. My hair is like... Merrida from Brave, but dark brown and more dry and coarse. The rag curls were very soft and lasted a long while in my hair, so we did this style often. We used rags from the paint section of Lowe's and such, and brushed through the curls to make them not so tight. I could also sleep in the rags during summer months.

    They look amazing! I've done these a bunch of times on my daughters' hair - they have straight, fine white girl hair though.. but these are the curls that stay in best for them. The purpose of doing larger sections is that you end up with wider curls. I also usually double up the rags too, so they have a wider circumference to wrap around. They're so fun.

    O my goodness, I am old as hell, I can remember having this done to my hair when I was a child. I am 73 years old. I had completely forgot about this technique. We used cotton hose. Before silk stockings, hosiery came up above the knee and were tied into a knot to stay up. They were similar to tee shirt material. These were cut up into similar long strips. The curls were called Shirley Temple Curls, she was a child actress who was “Honey Bo Bo like”. The slaves cosmetologist performed this services on theirs “mistresses hair”. Kinky hair was straighten before it was “rapped”. As a pioneer natural hair stylist, I used a long foam covered rod or flat plastic strips to wrap natural hair like yours. You hair is beautiful and I appreciate your joyful youth. Thank you for reviving such happy history. @rudu305.

    The earliest perms involved wrapping hair this way, but on steel rods, with a piece of string. Then, chemical pads were applied, and each rod was attached to a plug that was wired to a machine that applied heat to chemically steam the texture into the hair. It was scary, and there was always the risk of an electric shock, or burning the hair or scalp or ears.

      This method seems like it would hurt less than the way I do my rag curls. Usually, I essentially roll my hair up like regular rollers and ends up being a ball that I knot the fabric, hurts to sleep in lol

    To be fair to Loepsie, this was an historical recreation so it looks goofy by today's standards but it's actually quite accurate! That's why the curls only starts halfway down the length of her hair
    Props to her for sharing this technique and to you for changing it up and making it look great on your hair!

      Don't you worry!! There is a way... if I wanted to do this, I would go to my local fabric shop and buy some fabric off the roll to cut up.
      If I still had thigh-length hair I would need around a two-meter long stretch for one meter of hair (I'm about 1.5m tall) I'm guessing. Here, you can get stretch fabric that is 1.5m wide, so I would buy 2m of it (you then end up with a 1.5m by 2m rectangle) and cut into strips, the rest I'd keep for when those rags get worn out from being washed after use... sounds like a bother, but I looove this hair style on Viv. Hope this helps and you get to try it out!!

      You could go look in a fabric store's "remnants" section. That's where they put odds and ends from fabric bolts and they are usually about 50% off normal price. Even though they're just odds and ends, you can probably still find fabrics that are 2 yards long.

      Heidi Brinkley - We weren't what I would consider really poor, but we definitely used rag curls and hair pins in an "X" (for shorter hair) to set curls in our hair for special occasions. Only the "rich" ladies in the neighborhood went to the hairdresser for other than just a haircut, like getting a perm or color. Our mother cut all of our hair until we were in junior high (now called middle school). Sure am glad the industry has made it much easier to do home hair care now.
