Mum's two-minute hair curling trick to create beautiful waves

A Newtownards mum has created a video showing how you can curl your hair in just over two minutes.

Lynsey Cleland, a hairdresser who owns Hair & Co in her home town, says the simple but effective technique can be done by anyone and doesn't need any expensive devices, just a pair of socks.

Speaking to Belfast Live, Lynsey said: "One of my clients mentioned it to me and I thought I'm going to give it a go as I would do wee hair tutorials and videos for kids to show them how to create different styles.

"So I tried it on my daughter and I couldn't believe it, it was amazing. Usually. I would do the videos in the salon to make them more professional but I thought no because they have to sleep in them so it needs to be done at home at night.

"My daughter is six and I had put the video on social media and she said a few of the other kids in school were saying to her, 'mummy is putting socks in my hair tonight like yours', so it's very cute."

The hairstyling does not require any form of spray or styling tool, says the mum.

"It's just socks and water spray, no hairspray or anything. People were asking me if I sold the socks I used and I was just like, no, they're just normal socks, nothing special about them.

"I just thought I had to share it because it makes it easier now for mums and dads who are stuck for ideas of what to do with their little girls' hair and it takes no time at all, it's so simple."
