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.
Start by cleaning your hair. Shampoo and condition as you normally would. You will be using a curling iron, so use a little extra moisture if you can. If you have oily hair and are afraid of moisture, only put the conditioner on the ends to keep them from getting fried.
Let your hair air dry or use a blow dryer. You can use a defrizzing serum before drying to keep away the frizz. You will need to start with it straight, so blow dry it straight. A great way to start is by washing it the night before and letting it dry overnight so that it is completely dry.
Next, gather all your supplies. You will need a comb, a medium sized barrel curling iron, hair gel, and hair spray. Use a smaller barrel curling iron if you have very straight hair that may have trouble curling. The hair gel and spray will hold your curls in place.
To start, gather together a small one inch section of hair. Comb it straight and put a dab of hair gel in between your fingers. Gently rub it together and then run it over your hair from root to tip completely covering the hair.
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.
Finish your entire head of hair in this manner. Once it is all done, turn your head upside down and spray all over with hair spray. After a couple seconds to let it dry, shake your hair to loosen the curls slightly. Flip your hair back and arrange it in place. Any curls that are too tight, gently tug them. Remember that they might fall out a little throughout the day, so you might not want to do this yet. - 15995
