If you follow me on Instagram you already know about this because I shared it there see photos below but the other night I slept on twisted buns to get these BIG CURLS just to switch it up a little which the husband LOVES. In fact he said "You know, you could do that MORE OFTEN if you wanted to". Big curls are a BIG hit around here ;)
In 2009 I did a quick video demonstrating how I twist my hair into the little buns whilst singing to Lady Gaga - but I only did a photo tutorial of how to get the finished look. So the other morning before I left for the gallery I filmed it for you and hopefully answered all the questions I've gotten about this easy little tutorial. Enjoy...
The first and last photos were taken at around 5:30pm in the afternoon so you can see how the curls fall a little and become big waves, though my hair doesn't get any smaller. I love doing these because they last a few days as well and they still look good. I get a real "natural" type of curly hair feel when I have them... and I love it.
Have Fun!

I am the BIGGEST fan of giant curls. The fact that you used NO heat, makes me love this without even trying it first. I cannot wait to go home tonight and give this a go.. Thanks for your amazing tips!!! You are definitely one of my hair inspirations!! :) xo
You are super adorable. Love the curls! I can not wait to share this with my daughter..
I'm loving this look! So fun and sexy!

LOVE your hair like this! mine would probably look terrible with big curls but you rock it! lol
I adore my short hair, but each of your hair tutorials does make me think for a second how nice long hair would be.
Wow!! I stumbled upon your blog recently and got VERY excited to see the hair tutorials! I actually use a lot of the same techniques on my hair, including this sleep-on-twisty-buns thing. I've since checked out your other videos and have gotten a few awesome pointers, so thank you very much! (I especially like the French braid low updo and cascading hair ones – those were totally new for me and totally gorgeous.)
What's funny is that absolutely no one I know messes with their hair like I do (and like you do) and some of the things you say – it’s hilarious because I totally understand what you’re talking about. Such as getting the best curling iron or hot roller curls after a blow dry. I hate to do it, but sometimes I really want those extra special curls. :) But if I said that to most of my girlfriends, they would have no clue what I was talking about.
Anyway, I just had to comment – was so excited to find someone else who plays with hair like this! It looks great!! Sorry for the novel of a comment, but I’m quite inspired by you, I think!
WOW! absolutely STUNNING!
I LOVE it!!!! So much. Like MASS. =)
it's just so BIG. And UNEXPECTED!!! hahahah
you always have the best hair tutorials!! my hair is already extremely curly, but i wonder if i did the same trick if it would actually loosen up the curls...i'll have to try it :)
Ah, your hair looks fantastic! Thanks for the tutorial & a big thanks to Ashe @ Dramatis Personae for introducing me to your blog! xx Taylor
LOVE it. THanks for sharing!
Just great! :)
You hair look so fab!
Looks great on you!
However, this is my hair's natural state and I spend a lot of time (and product!) calming it down to something more tame. :)
twisted buns are my to go style to keep my curls tighter. You look amazing as usual.
Looks super lovely! I just got my hair cut short so I won't be doing this for a couple of years but you look stunning!
These are also called "bantu knots" or a "bantu knot out" Very nice!!!
I love your hair, the curls are perfect, so lovely you looks so hot!

Hey Maegan, this video reminded me to tell you about this infomercial I watched the other day on these new "curlers" that came out, it's called the TopStyler. I think you'd be interested in checking it out since you're big on curling your hair :)
you make me want blonde hair again. i try curls sometimes but it just doesn't look the same.x
Well I have naturally curly hair but wanted to try this because I wanted to achieve a more wavy look. I did it last night and slept in it and took them out this morning and totally didnt get the same effect. It was a mess. It wasnt perfect spirals like yours were. Not sure what I did wrong. And you also have to be really careful of the bobby pin placement because it can leave indentions in your hair that can be ugly. Any additional tips? I think my sections were too small.
Wow that is some amazing volume. Great job and that totally reminds me of SJP.
Gorgeous! I can't get enough of big hair
Hi, I've been following your blog for a while now, and I love your style, hair and home.
I was so excited about this, and then I woke up this morning. And my boyfriend couldn't stop laughing. My hair didn't become amazingly perfectly curly like yours. I do remember my mom trying this on me though when I was a kid, after an hour of tying my hair up I said it hurt and she had to take them all out.
No curls for me I guess.
Love Love Love it.

Fabulousness! Can't wait to try this...maybe this will help revitalize my postpartum limp hair :)
I love this!! I've got massively thick, long hair, too, so I can't wait to rock this beast of a 'do. Thank you for sharing!
Gorgeous, just gorgeous!!! I'm going to have to try this! :)
SO beautiful!! Please answer: where did you get your outfit in the picture at the beginning? So cute!!! I love it- saw it on your blog and had to ask.cant wait til my hair grows back out. first no heat tutorial i've seen that gives you lots of volume! i love it!So pretty! Question, how many buns do you have in all? I couldn't really tell in the video.
i have naturally straight hair, and it such a pain with a curling iron. I LOVE this look! I just cut all my long hair offf and now its short, still trying it, but now i wish it was still your length! really gorgeous though, thank you :)

I really like fashion clothing.
Yes! I tried this look for school today and i got so many compliments.
Doing this one now! The buns make me feel like scary spice :)
Gorgeous!! Your hair looks beautiful!
Stunning! You're prettier than sjp, just sayin' ;)
Amazing hair! It looks natural as well. I tried it the other day, but some of the buns had fallen out during the night and other curls just didn't work out.
It would be great if you posted another video of how you did the buns; the placement of them to create the volume would be so useful!
Did this one about a yr ago and it turned out kinda Taylor Swift-ish. Loved it...more importantly, my husband LOVED it. I have the longest, straightest, finest hair and could not believe how long it held. You're a beauty genius woman :) Apologies for such a late comment & thanks. Youda best!
Your hair is awesome and i love it.
Taylor Swift has the same hair style about 2 years ago.
Thanks for sharing the hair style and the video.
