curling iron

Curly hair with - curling iron :

* Heat up the curling iron before you get started :)

1) Start with brushed & untangled hair

tip: I use this look sometime with my bed head hair..

2) Prep your hair with a heat protectant to add shine & prevent from frying.

fact: It comes in serums and sprays, heat protection products are your hair's first line of defense against styling damage.

3) Part your hair in two sections separating the top of your hair from the bottom layer.

fact: This will help assure you get every piece of hair.

4) Clip the curling iron onto half an inch strand of hair starting from the bottom of the hair strand.

tip: curl your hair towards the directions you want it to go in, for example curve it under if you want an inward curl. Hold for 10 seconds or longer depending on how hot your curler gets. 

5) Repeat step 4 all around you head until the bottom half is done.

tip: switch directions of the way you curl your hair on the opposite side. For example if you start with the left and curl inwards then on the right side you would do the same but inwards towards the right.

6) Once all the hair is curled, use a tiny bit of hair spray to assure the curl stays.

tip: Make sure you spray don't use to much you want your hair to still feel soft and free not crunchy.

& Spray afar so hair doesn't get to damp and crunchy from the hair spray.

7) Tie back the curled hair so it doesn't mix with the uncurled hair. & Let down the top section.

8) Repeat steps 4 until all hair is curled & spray top layer lightly with hair spray.

tip: if you have side bangs like mine, you can curl your bangs inward to blend with the rest of your hair.. it looks great either way.

9) Untie bottom section of your hair and let your curls loose! Finish with a silk/gloss serum I use biosilk.

tip: If you want tight curls just blend them together by twisting curls together, if you want it like mine more wavy looking then gently brush your fingers with the silk/gloss serum.

10) Finally your look is done! enjoy I hope my tips helped you complete the style you were looking for.

Some More tips:

* If you have flat hair and want to add volume then tease(back comb) your hair before you curl it.

* It took me a long time to perfect my look, if you fail your first time DON'T GIVE UP.. it gets easier.

* Try new and different styles with your curls; its always good to experiment. 

* Don't use to much product you don't want your hair to look greasy or blotchy.

* The smaller the hair in the curling iron the smaller and tighter the curl.

* If you curl each strand for longer than 1 minute it will cause heat damage & could possibly just burn your hair off. 

* Curling creme applied after shower will help hold the curl, or mousse but not to much- too much can make it to heavy for the curl to hold.

My hair is naturally straight, this may not work if you already have curly hair.

*Make sure to always unplug the curling iron after you're finished. enjoy, xox.
