Thanks for the pencil idea. Started getting ready for this weekend.
I cut old tee shirts into strips about 1" by 8". How do I wrap the rag around the pencil? Do I put them both length wise, or one length wiser and one width wise? I assume you roll the hair winding up around the pencil/rag, then remove the pencil and tie the knot. Is this correct. I want to get it right. Please respond

Glad it worked out so well for you. I have done my wife`s hair in stips of towels (her hair is very long and quite thick). The results were terrific sausage curls that lasted all day.
After reading this article, I ripped up an old tshirt and proceeded to curl my hair.
I had a hard time wrapping the hair around the rag, so I wrapped/rolled the strip around a pencil first. Then I wrapped my hair around the rag/pencil. when I was done wrapping I pulled the pencil out and tied off the rag on my hair.
works quite well. I get waves in my hair in the morning and my hair avoids tangles.
Hair type: fine but thick; natural blonde with 15% grey
