How to use Curling Iron

April 27, 2009

curlingironHaving straight hair for long periods of time will get to be a bit boring, though it might be looking good on you.  People are fond of variety in their lives, whether it is in the food they eat, the TV channels they watch or the hairstyle they have. 

Adding curls is the best option for people with straight hair to achieve a glamorous look and add bounce to your hair. The best way to get curls is with the use of curling iron.  Below are some general instructions and tips for how to get great curls.

Items needed:

Curling iron
Blow dryer
Brush or comb
Hair clips
Hairspray
Styling gel / styling spray / mousse

Instructions:

Ensure cleanliness of your hair by washing it with a shampoo. Apply a styling gel, styling spray or mousse on your damp hair.  The hair should be damp, but not wet. Use a blow dryer to dry your hair completely.  This will help you form better shaped and longer lasting curls.

Section your hair and use hair clips to keep each section separate. Depending on the type of curls you desire, divide the hair into small or large sections.  Small sections are appropriate for spiral curls and larger flat sections are better suited to loose curls. Brush or comb each hair section to remove knots or tangles.

If you have fine hair, which will not hold curls, lightly spray your hair with a soft-hold hairspray. Fully open the curling iron by pressing the lever.  Hair ends are to be inserted into the space on the curling iron between the iron and flap.

While the tip of the hair section is completely within the curling iron barrel, close it. Roll the curling iron towards the scalp in an upward direction.  Hold the position for ten seconds.

Open the flap of the curling iron by pushing the lever and release the curls slowly. Repeat this procedure with the remaining hair sections. Flip your head. Shake the curls out and style it with your fingers. Apply hair spray to ensure the curls remain in place.  A humidity resistant hairspray is best if you find yourself in humid weather.
