thankyou for this tutorial! this is such a great idea, and I am just about to go try it ourt for myself! Beautiful retro curls, here I come!
Slightly non-sewing related question – do you need a hairdryer to achieve these curls when you’ve got the rollers in? Does it still go curly enough if you just leave the hair to dry naturally?

Hey clairelovestosew! I agree, these curlers are a great idea, although it isn’t mine originally. I would love to answer your question about drying your hair in the curlers, but I just don’t know. My hair is completely naturally curly, these curlers were made for my cousins. I expect that if your hair is very straight, using holding gel and a bit of hairspray would benefit the curls. As for drying, your guess is as good as mine!
