Social media is buzzing with this new wonderful way to get the perfect curls. It’s being labeled as the #blowthebottle challenge.

Instagram alone has hundreds of videos with people using every kind of bottle imaginable for the challenge.

This video has almost 200,000 views. The popularity of the challenge has even spurred professional hairstylists and salons to give the method a test.

Supplies:

• Sturdy plastic bottle (like a water bottle or empty shampoo container) 
• Knife
• Hairdryer 

Method:

1. Begin by using a knife to make a hole in the side of a plastic bottle that’s just large enough for the nozzle of your hairdryer to fit through. You’ll want the fit to be snug so hair doesn’t get tangled at the entrance.

2. Next, you’ll cut off the top off the bottle. Make sure you pick a sturdy bottle that doesn’t collapse easily and can withstand the temperature of the dryer. You really don’t want melted plastic in your hair.

3. Divide your dry hair into large sections. Take one section and place it inside the water bottle to where it hangs loosely inside the bottle.

Finally, Insert the hairdryer into the hole you’ve cut and turn it on low to medium heat. You’ll notice the hair start to spin inside the bottle. Wait about 60 seconds before turning the dryer off and slipping the bottle out from under the hair. Bam - instant cascading curls.

Use your fingers to lightly separate the curls. Repeat on as many sections of your hair as you wish to get your desired curly look.

Note that the "blow the bottle” challenge works best if you have a wedge attachment on your hairdryer to keep your hair from getting sucked into the hairdryer. If your hair is sensitive to heat, stick with a low setting and lightly mist your hair with some water or thermal protectant beforehand.
