attempt at Michelle Phan's eco-friendly beauty (curling hair without heat)

Using an old T-shirt to curl your hair ??
that's me halfway done (and almost wanting to give up already)
method:
You get an old T-shirt and cut it into thin strips of cloth. Section your hair. Do like you would with a curling iron but instead you are securing the cloth to your hair and rolling it up. Secure in place by tying a knot. To watch her video, go to Michelle Phan's youtube 


 It's harder than it looks and took me awhile to figure out how to roll the hair. But I managed to finish curling ALL MY HAIR in about half an hour. I went out for dinner with my family like that haha. Looking a bit like a new year lantern ! it was ren ri anyway so it's fine to look festive :)
 the right side failed so i pinned it up. Going for a sweet side swept look to cover it up. Guess it just takes a bit of practice. I did the right side of my head first so maybe i wasn't so good at it yet. Headed down to zouk where i drank too much whisky. Culprits know who you are.
