Easy Bouncy 5 Minute Curls | Tutorial | FromMyVanity.comI finally tested one of those beauty hacks on Pinterest to see if it really works….and it does — I’m able to get voluminous, bouncy curls in just 5 minutes flat! That says a lot coming from this gal who is half Brazilian blessed with long, thick hair! Typically, it takes me 20-30 minutes to curl my hair. Plus one aching neck and two tired arms! 😉 So, if you’re curious what hack I’m talking about, just keep reading to see how to get these 5 minute curls!

If you recall two weeks ago I shared with you that I wanted to give my hair a subtle color change without going to a salon (this new Mama can’t fit that in!). I used all three of these John Frieda products — the Brilliant Brunette® Visibly Deeper™ Colour Deepening Shampoo, Brilliant Brunette® Visibly Deeper™ Colour Deepening Conditioner, and Brilliant Brunette® Visibly Deeper™ Colour Deepening Treatment — and I am very pleased with my results!

John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Visibly Deeper Trio | FromMyVanity.comThese products can be found at your local Walmart, but I have heard that the Colour Deepening Treatment is difficult to find on the shelves. If that’s the case for you, be aware that it’s still available on their website. As a word of warning, though, that while I liked the results, be prepared for your hands to be slightly stained for a little while after you step out of the shower from using these products. 😉

5 Minute Curls Tutorial

Full lace wigsStep 1 // Brush out any tangles. Never a good idea to apply heat to knots. 😉

Step 2 // Using the brush, sweep all your hair upwards toward the top of your head.

Easy Hack for 5 Minute Curls | Steps 3 & 4 | FromMyVanity.comStep 3 // Tie it securely with a hairband. We’re all girls here, so I’m safely assuming we all know how to do this. 😉

Step 4 // The height of your ponytail depends on the type of curls you want. The higher up on your head, the tighter the curl will be by your face. The farther back on your head, the more relaxed your curls will look.

Easy Hack for 5 Minute Curls | Steps 5 & 6 | FromMyVanity.comStep 5 // Curl! I life using a clipless curling wand, but whatever is your preference. I took about one inch sections of hair, but you could take smaller for a tighter curl, or more chunks for a more loose, wavy look.

Step 6 // Doing all my hair took just over 5 minutes. To be exact, 5 minutes and 21 seconds — but it’s still 5 minutes, haha. And keep in mind that I have long, thick hair. If your hair is shorter/thinner or you want to take larger sections, it may take even less time.

613 blonde lace wigsStep 7 // Remove the hairband. Again, I don’t need to elaborate. 😉

Step 8 // Run your fingers through your hair to relax and mesh all your curls for a more natural finish. And you’re done – 5 minute curls….check!

Easy Hack for 5 Minute Curls | My Results! | FromMyVanity.comThat’s seriously all there is too it and these are  the results — bouncy, 5 minute curls for this hair extenstion ! I loved, loved, loved them and will totally be using this easy hack from now on. It saves so much time, and I can always use a few extra minutes to wing out my eyeliner. 😉

John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Visibly Deeper results featured in this 5 minute curls tutorial!I would love to hear if you can tell a difference between the color of my hair in this post, and Pinterest. It might be hard to detect in pictures, but I definitely can tell it’s deeper in person!

Oh, also, don’t forget to let me know if you would ever try this type of at-home, in-shower treatment to deepen or lighten the color of your hair. I love the ease and convenience these John Frieda products give me!

Loved the tutorial? Pin it!

    “5 minutes” is my favorite phrase. Your hair looks so nice and polished, and it took such a short amount of time! I’ve been looking at getting one of the Amika curling wands, so I’d love to try something on days when I’m feeling fancy. Also, your makeup looks great here, too!

      It’s a lot easier than it looks! I remember seeing this hack months ago and was just like “no, that can’t be easier and still turn out looking like you spent 30 minutes on your bombshell curls”…but it honestly really does!

    I never think about ponytailing then curling. I’ll have to try that.

      Do give it a try! It saves a lot of time and still gives you the random, natural curly look that I love 😀

    Those curls! I have hair envy here. I’ve got a new Babyliss curling iron that I’m dying to try out; will follow the ponytail technique.

      Hope it turns out well for you! This was honestly my first time trying this hack — I wanted to take pictures for the tutorial the first going around to see if it really was easier and quicker,and to show that there isn’t really a learning curve. Its just easy!

    You make this look so easy! My hair is touching my shoulders for the first time in years, so it’s time that I learn how to do stuff like this, isn’t it?! 😉

      Haha, I guess so! I’ve never cut my hair above my shoulders — right at my shoulders, once, but I hated it, haha. I’ve always liked the long hair….and because I can tie it all up in a ponytail easily when I want it out of my way, lol

      Nah, girl, your hair will look bomb, too! I think having it up in a ponytail for a bit helps with the volume. And then curling it in random sections really helps give your curls that piece-y and full look that I love 🙂

      I honestly don’t have super fine hair, but one product I love to use to help keep the curl is sea salt spray. It’s not sticky! But it adheres to your hair/curls and helps ‘stick’ them in place and lasts for several hours. Just don’t brush your fingers through your hair much afterwards, as you’ll just brush the sea salt spray out and your curls will start to drop.

      I had seen it before, but honestly wrote it off as one of those Pinterest hacks that would be a flop if I tried it out. Glad I tested that theory and I was proved wrong!

    Katie- I just sent you a photo on Instagram with my curl hack. You and I have VERY similar hair, so check it out! Wrote a note with it. Hope you got it!

    We need to collab on something some day. My 6 year old daughter is actually the one who first showed me your blog last year (yes, she’s a little makeup lover already!), and I’ve been in love with it ever since 🙂

      Aww, thank you Nicole, for this sweet comment. It’s always encouraging to hear how you find my blog. 🙂 I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the content!

      I looked in my direct messages in Instagram, and didn’t see anything. :-/ Try tagging me in the image, and that should alert me to be able to find the picture 🙂
