The tutorial host is quite advanced in skill when it comes to hair wrapping, which is why she can do it with her highly textured dry hair so quickly.

Thank you! I will have to try it this weekend and report back.

I would try this, but I dont think my hair is long enough any more... can you do it with short hair?

You can do it with hair of any length. The shorter the hair is, the easier time a beginner will have. Although, if you have very curly bob-length hair, what you could do for optimal results is this:
1. Dampen your hair with setting or wrapping lotion (you get that at the beauty supply store, like Sally's).
2. Wrap the hair around the head with a brush, follow the wrapping directions as described above, and hold in place with a soft breathable hair wrapping cloth (something you can also get at the beauty supply store).
3. Let the hair dry in its wrapped formation.
4. Remove the hair scarf. You'll see that the hair will hold it's shape for a bit.
5. Now, watch the video tutorial and follow it: With your brush, again go over the hair to reinforce the wrap, making it a bit tighter and smoother this time. You can use a tiny bit more setting lotion only if needed.
6 Get a peice of plastic food cling wrap (like Saran wrap) and wrap your head with it tightly, just like as was with the cloth wrap before.
7. Sit under a blow dryer hood, or use a hand held blow dryer for about 15-20 minutes, circling the head with heat. (Good thing with the Saran wrap, the moisture does not get zapped from your hair as with other hot tools applied on naked hair.)
8. Undo plastic wrap. Brush out hair. You're good to go!

I do it once in a while but i really suck at it. My aunt can wrap her hair with 2 pins i swear!
When my hair is longer i always wrap it at night because it gets all tangled and it saved me from having to dry my hair again,

I think it all depends on your hair and how you do it. I would never wrap my hair if its wet because i know it wont get straight that way. lol I wrap my hair before i go to bed so when i wake up in the morning its not all tangled and i avoid having to straighten or blow dry it. I also try not to use any pins, its kind of hard not to do that but i really comb it until the my hair *tries* to stay in place and then i wrap and scarf on my head.
