Thanks for all the replies. Going to give that a try Free. Anyone use a good anti-frizz serum or cream that can be used all over and doesnt make the roots greasy?

Mark hill's salt spray is around £5 and works well for me

None take Fungus Smile

The fact that it really stood out is something worth thinking about, you just wouldn't have noticed it on a bloke as they are allowed body hair, we're not.

Cool video though, I yearn for tousled but just end up with frizzy.

Just spray it with Salt Spray and scrunch.

I have super straight fine hair and have been using the heatless curls methods - there's hundreds on YouTube. The headband method works very well and no heat damage.

Is that where you twist the hair round the band, over and over and over? Does it work?

user7755 · 20/08/2016 21:11

Free - tried that method today, it worked really well but it actually looked nice anyway all twisted up apart from making grey roots very obvious Will definitely do it again when I've dyed my roots

FreeButtonBee · 20/08/2016 21:37

user oh Good! It's so easy and works so well. Glad it worked for you too. I am finally out the other side of roots after 3 years growing them out.

user7755 · 20/08/2016 21:47

I'm waiting till I'm at least 50 to grow the roots out!! DH pointed out that I looked like a skunk earlier.

In his defence, I can't see the back of my hair and made him promise yesterday that if he could see grey hair or cellulite he must tell me!!

I'm going to do my roots tomorrow and do this every day!

Just bobbing on to say thanks free I tried the twisting trick on damp hair last night, took it out and scrunched with hairspray and it worked a treat!

TondelayaDellaVentamiglia · 21/08/2016 17:36

dd does random bunches in damp hair and then twists it until the bunch coils on itself, secure with bobble, let them out in the morning

Fewer twisty sections. You might need to do 3 rather than four each side. And make sure the top layers are thicker than the under layers as this will mean you get looser waves on the top layer.

Just passed someone on my way to work with their hair pinned up to dry like in FreeButton's link, and my first thought was 'Oooh, a mumsnetter'! Should I have shouted 'POMBEAR?' at her on my way past or something, to test the theory?! Grin

GinIsIn · 23/08/2016 09:49

keepon - I do mine the headband method, and have fine hair. To stop it drying too tightly curled, I rough dry it until it's almost dry before putting it up then I take it down about half an hour later so it's not 100% dry and re-spritz with salt spray then let the last bit dry naturally.

Kez0777 · 24/08/2016 20:50

Is it possible to have nice waves like freebuttons link if you have naturally wavy but a rubbish frizzy bob? I've irdered some salt spray feeling hopefully I can look like that, but fear I'm going to be disappointed and back to the faithful ghd's! Confused
