A curling iron can quickly and easily transform your straight hair into sleek, bouncy curls. But your results can be less than desirable if you're not careful.
From improperly setting your heat to not using the right products, there are a few common mistakes that many people make when curling their hair. You can get the perfect curls every time by knowing the fundamentals of using a hair curling tool and avoiding these frequent blunders.
Using the Wrong SizeĀ
Want thick curls or large waves? It doesn't necessarily follow that a more significant iron is required to finish it, even though women like this look. They frequently attempt to achieve it by using a more significant iron or wand when they should be using a longer 1-inch iron.Ā
You may make waves that are better defined by using a smaller, longer iron. The rule of thumb is to pick a curling iron smaller than the desired curl because doing so will result in a circle two to three times the size of the iron.
Using Too Old Curling IronĀ
You aren't just making stuff up if you're using a curling iron you got at the pharmacy in the seventh grade, and it doesn't appear to be cutting. Wands and irons that have seen better days won't be as effective. The iron may feel hot, but it may not be heating the hair properly anymore, causing you to pass over each spot too many times and burn it.Ā
Using Hairspray Before Curling
Although it may seem that applying a few sprays of hairspray before curling can extend the life of your style, it won't do so without harming your strands. You can use heat protection sprays sparingly at first. Use hairspray immediately after styling your hair because the heat from the curling iron can badly dry out your hair.Ā
Holding the Iron Curl for Too Long
Hold the automatic hair curler until it forms a little cue to create highly tight ringlets. Avoid holding the loop on the iron for too long if you want to achieve classic beach waves or loose curls.
Instead, hold the curling iron for about three to five seconds on each section of hair before letting go. Your curls will be considerably tighter if you don't release quickly enough and hold the iron any longer than that. Take the expert's advice and refrain from holding for an extended period. Also, this will lessen the harm you are causing to your hair.
Fiddling with Curls During the ProcessĀ
We comprehend. As you're between sections, it could seem pretty appealing to fiddle with and touch your hair, but if you do, the curls won't hold up as well, especially if your hair doesn't like to preserve a spiral.Ā
If your hair is exceptionally straight or challenging to curl, wait to brush or handle the curls until the end, after the entire head has been done and the curls have cooled down. After cooling and setting, you can mold them using your fingers or a comb.
Developing Curls at the Ends
It can feel like solving a calculus equation to decide which way to curl your hair, but here's a tip: Always twist downward from the roots because the ends of your hair are more sensitive and require less heat to curl, starting at the top and working your way down for the most significant results. Ends should be added last to prevent damage and create a more natural-looking overall outcome.
ConclusionĀ
Curling your hair can be tricky if you're unfamiliar with the process. It's easy to make common mistakes, such as using a curling iron that's too hot, not using the right styling product, curling the hair too tightly, and not protecting the hair from the heat. Yet, you may become an expert at using a curling iron to style your hair if you put some work and dedication into it.Ā
