A YOUNG woman was left looking like Ace Ventura after trying to curl her hair overnight.
Niamh Doherty used the viral sock curl method in hope of waking up with a bouncy blow dry.
The heat-free method involves wrapping hair up in clean socks or foam curlers covered with socks.
It gained popularity on Tik Tok after hair brand The Big Silk released a pure silk styling wand for people to roll their hair in at night and wake up to the perfect do.
Women all over social media were showing off their effortless and bouncy overnight curls.
However, Niamh’s attempt with a sock left her being compared to a number of hilarious characters – including Ace Ventura and the Mayor of Whoville.

When unrolling the curls, the twenty-year-old from Dublin could just about muster up an “ow”.
She sat with her hair in front of her face for a moment before moving it to each side with her hands.
And once the makeshift curler was out of her hair, she was speechless.
At that point, Niamh’s face dropped and she remained unimpressed for the rest of the video.

She hilariously penned in the Tik Tok video’s caption: “You’d want to be joking me.
“Genuinely this was supposed to be a head full of curls.
“And this is what I received this morning.”
The method failed to create any bouncy curls for student Niamh but offered volume from root to tip.
People flocked to the comments to empathise with Niamh.
One wrote: “Nothing worse than sleeping uncomfortably for the hair to not come out right.”
A second added: “This is me, I can only curl my hair with heat and that's it.”
Others were more focused on cashing in on Niamh’s hair horror with humour.
