Rag rolling is a method of curling hair that is making a comeback in recent years. This method has been used for centuries as an inexpensive and effective way to achieve long-lasting curl. It is even credited as the way many women in medieval times used to create a riot of curls. Rag rolling is exactly what the name implies; you use small pieces of material, or rags to roll your hair. These rags can be from leftover sewing materials, old sheets or most any strips of cotton or linen. Strips one inch wide are ideal and the length of the fabric depends on the length of your hair. It is advisable to wash your hair the day before you rag roll unless your hair is heavily soiled. Dampen your hair and starting with the ends, wrap your hair around the fabric strip near one end. Work your way up the fabric strip evenly until the hair is wound almost to the scalp. You will want to make sure you leave some fabric on both sides of the rag. Simply tie both ends of the rag together near the scalp after winding, making sure it is not too tight for comfort. Leave the rags in your hair overnight and be sure the hair is completely dry in the morning before removing the rags. When wrapped properly the rags should unwind with ease when you remove them try the rag rolling. my cousin did it for a party and everyone was saying how nice it looked. its easy to do aswell. but if you want the rollers the foam ones are best
