Alright so I’m gonna walk you through this whole natural H cup thing I tried yesterday. Been seeing folks online talk about getting big fluffy curls without heat or chemicals, and man I gotta test it for myself.
Stuff I Grabbed
- Old t-shirt cut up into long strips
- My regular conditioner
- Wide-tooth comb
- Hair clips
- Spray bottle with water
First I hopped in the shower and soaked my hair completely. Squeezed out extra water so it wasn’t dripping everywhere. Then I pumped out a ton of conditioner – like way more than usual – and slapped it all over from roots to ends. Combing it through felt like dragging a fork through overcooked noodles, but I kept at it till every piece was covered.
The Annoying Part
Sectioned my wet hair into four clumps with clips. Took one section and split it into three little strands. Now here’s where the real struggle started: tried twisting those strands around a t-shirt strip like you’d braid ribbon. Halfway through the first section, the whole damn thing unraveled twice. Almost threw the wet shirt across the bathroom.
Finally got one braid done after fifteen minutes of cussing. Repeated this nightmare on all sections. Ended up with six fat braids tied off with those raggedy shirt pieces. Took me nearly 45 minutes just to get ’em all wrapped up right.
Playing the Waiting Game
Left it like that overnight while I slept like a mummy trying not to smash my head. Woke up with neck cramps. Carefully untied each braid in the morning – felt like unwrapping those terrible Christmas presents from your aunt. Shockingly, it actually curled! Big S-shaped chunks all over.
Flipped my head upside down and scrunched like crazy. The curls kinda merged into these loose clumps. Volume was ridiculous – like a giant mushroom cloud exploded from my scalp.
My Honest Take
Okay the curls stayed all damn day without any product. Impressive. But man the process? Never again. My arms felt like I’d done bicep curls for hours. Still finding little fuzzies from that old shirt in my hair. Looks wild though – walked into the grocery store and got five head-turns in the cereal aisle.
Gotta admit it works for zero-cost curls, but next time I’m paying for a damn perm.
