We all know the saying, "Fail to prepare, prepare to fail." The same is true when it comes to curling your hair. If you don't take the right steps beforehand, you'll likely end up with frizzy, limp, or just plain bad-looking curls. But follow these tips, and you'll be rewarded with gorgeous, long-lasting curls that are sure to turn heads.
1. Start with Clean, Dry Hair
This may seem like a no-brainer, but starting with clean, dry hair is essential if you want your curls to look their best. Otherwise, you risk your hair looking greasy or weighed down.
Curling your hair while it's dirty or even slightly damp can also lead to uneven results and can even damage your hair.
If you have time, wash your hair the night before you plan on curling it so it has a chance to air-dry overnight. Otherwise, make sure to give your hair a good wash and blow-dry it completely before you start curling.
2. Use the Right Products
If you have fine or thin hair, you'll want to use a lightweight mousse or gel to help give your curls some hold. If your hair is thicker, you can get away with using a heavier product like a curl cream. In either case, make sure to apply your product evenly from roots to ends to avoid any unwanted frizz.
3. Invest in a Good Curling Iron
Not all curling irons are created equal. If you're serious about getting good-looking curls, it's worth investing in a high-quality curling iron. Look for one with adjustable heat settings so you can find the perfect temperature for your hair type. And if you're looking for extra-long-lasting curls, look for an iron with ceramic or tourmaline-coated plates.
The size of the curling iron you use is also essential. If you're unsure what size to use, a good rule of thumb is to choose a curling iron that's the same size as the sections of hair you're working with. So, if you're working with small sections of hair, use a small curling iron. For larger sections, use a larger curling iron.
4. Curl Your Hair in Sections
To get even and consistent curls, it's important to curl your hair in sections. Start by dividing your hair into small horizontal sections, and then clip the top half of your hair out of the way. Take your time curling each section, and make sure to curl away from your face. Once you're done with the bottom layer, let down the top layer and repeat the process.
5. Use a Setting Spray
Once you're finished curling your hair, seal it in style with a setting spray. This will help your curls hold their shape and prevent them from falling flat. If you like your hair to look natural and bouncy, you can use a light-hold setting spray.
6. Let Your Hair Cool
Once you've sprayed your hair with a setting spray, let it cool for a few minutes before touching it or brushing it out. This will help your curls set and last longer.
