Do you have straight hair? Are you jealous of all those gorgeous curls on your friends and on celebrities? Curls are in right now. If you have straight hair, you are in luck because it's not that hard to get curls as well. It will take a little bit more work, but it is possible.
First, you need to wash and condition your hair. Make sure your hair is clean and well moisturized. A curling iron can be very drying to your hair, so you need to make sure your hair is as moisturized as possible. If you can, use a deep conditioning treatment beforehand for soft hair and the best results. Also, use a moisturizing shampoo. If you have oily hair, concentrate the moisture away from the scalp. With oily hair, it's the top that gets greasy often leaving the rest look dry.
Next you need to dry your hair. You can either let it air dry or you can blow dry it. Another great way is to let it dry overnight. This will ensure that it is 100% dry. You want it to be completely dry before you start working.
Now you need your tools and supplies which are a comb or a brush, a medium or small sized barrel curling iron, and hair gel and spray. The gel and spray will be used to hold the curls in place. Use a smaller curling iron if you have very straight hair that doesn't curl well.
Start by taking a small section of hair and combing it straight. Get a dab of gel and run it over the strand of hair from root to tip. Make sure you spread the gel evenly by first rubbing it between your fingers.
Don't use too much gel, just a enough to hold the curls in place. If it is a little stiff at first, that is okay, it just shouldn't be soaked with gel. Use a strong gel, not a curling gel. Curling gel is meant to hold naturally curly hair in place and is not a good hold.
Next, take your curling iron, make sure it's hot, clip it around the top of your section of hair, and pull it down until it's just covering the end. Then, twist the barrel until you have the entire section of hair wrapped around the iron. Hold it for 3 to 5 seconds. Don't hold it too long because you will burn your hair. Quickly unravel your hair and release the curl. Right away, spray it with a spritz of hair spray. Don't touch it just yet. If it looks too curly for your liking, that's a good thing. Just leave it for now.
Once you've finished all your hair, turn your head over and spray your hair with hair spray. Shake your head gently to finish off the curls and release them. Flip your head back u pand arrange your curls how you want them and then finish off with a little more hair spray. - 15338
