No Heat SJP BIG CURLS w/ Twisted Buns ...also known as Bantu Knots


SJP Hair, big hair, sarah jessica parker hair, big curls+no heat curls+get curls without heat+twisted buns in hair


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 ;)


Going to sleep in a head full of twisted buns for BIG curls tomorrow. #hair BIG curls from twisted buns (see last Instagram photo) #hair


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.

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

Kayla said...

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!

You hair look so fab!

T said...

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. :)

Huda said...

twisted buns are my to go style to keep my curls tighter. You look amazing as usual.

Vanessa, Take only Memories said...

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 :)

Victoria said...

you make me want blonde hair again. i try curls sometimes but it just doesn't look the same.x

Rachellyndsay said...

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.

Beauty Tips and Tricks said...

Wow that is some amazing volume. Great job and that totally reminds me of SJP.

Hair Romance said...

Gorgeous! I can't get enough of big hair

Erna said...

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.

Kayla L. McKinney said...

Liesl said...

asian said...

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.

Kate said...

Gorgeous!! Your hair looks beautiful!

Siany said...

Stunning! You're prettier than sjp, just sayin' ;)

Nicole said...

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!

Katrina Carlisle said...

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!

trendy clothing said...

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.
