How to curl your hair easily please follow these steps.
-
Preparation:
- You can start with clean, dry hair. If your hair is naturally straight, consider adding some texture with a light mousse or sea salt spray.You can apply a heat protectant spray to shield your hair from the heat of styling tools.
-
Sectioning:
- Divide your hair into sections. The number of sections will depend on the thickness of your hair.Sectioning hair gets into smaller groups of hair that can be styled easily.
-
Curling:
- Curling iron or wand can be used with the barrel size you prefer. Smaller barrels create tighter curls, while larger barrels create looser waves.
- Take a small section of hair (about 1-2 inches wide) from one of the sections you divided earlier.
- Hold the curling iron vertically or horizontally, depending on the type of curls you want.
- Wrap the hair around the curling iron, starting close to the root and leaving the ends out for a more natural look.
- Hold the hair on the iron for about 5-10 seconds, then release to reveal the curl.
-
Repeat:
- Continue curling small sections of hair in the same manner until all sections are curled.
-
Cooling and Setting:
- After curling each section, let the curl cool down for a few seconds before touching it. This helps the curl set.
-
Finishing:
- Once all sections are curled, let your hair cool completely.
- Gently run your fingers through the curls to loosen them and create a more natural look.
- You can finish with a light-hold hairspray to help the curls last longer.
- these will produce perfect curls.
