Using a curling iron the right way
September 3, 2009
Tired of the same old straight hair? Want to try out something different? Then what are you waiting for? Take your curling iron and give the straight locks a curly look. Even though more and more people are opting for straightening their hair, but the popularity of curls is still intact.
Now you can get the curls from a salon or you can do it at home. If you are doing it at home then it is obvious that you will need the help of a curling iron. The best part of using this device is that the curls are not permanent and your regular straight hair is just one wash away.
Along with a curling iron, you need a few more things to get nice curls. You will also be needing styling mousse, gel, or spray for styling, a comb or a hair brush, one blow dryer and some hair pins (if needed).
Before you use the curling iron, make sure that your hair is clean. Shampoo your hair before you go for curls. Apply some mousse or gel while the hair is a bit wet. Once you are done applying the products on the hair, blow-dry your hair well. This will help the products last longer and give you better curls.
Now separate your hair in to small partitions. You can use hair clips so that your hair remain separated into partitions. After that, release one of the partitions and see if the hair is tangled or not. If yes then you have to disentangle the hair.
Here it should be mentioned that if your hair is very silky and if there is a possibility that the curls may not hold then apply a bit of hair spray. In this case, the best ones are the soft hold sprays.
Now press the lever and open the iron. Put the end of your hair between the area of the iron and the iron flap. Now keep rolling your hair towards your scalp.
Make sure the iron does not touch your scalp. Hold the iron in that position for 10-15 seconds. Then press the lever and let go of your curls. Keep doing this till you are done with all of your hair.
Once you are done, apply a bit more spray on your hair and you are done.
