My Guide To Effortless Curls
I receive many compliments about my hair whenever I curl it, but I give all the credit to my curling iron. It works all the magic! In this post, I’m sharing my step-by-step guide and the tools I use to create bouncy, soft curls in just 10 minutes. So gather your supplies and let’s get ready!
What you need:
- A 2-in-1 curling and straightening iron
- A brush
- Heat protectant
- Clips
- Light Hair Spray
What to do:
Step 1. Begin by misting your hair generously with a heat protectant, and then brush through your hair to spread the product evenly and smooth any tangles.
Step 2. Next, divide your hair into a top and bottom section, pinning up the top section with a hairclip. Pull the hair to the front.
Step 3. Now for the fun part! Pick up the curling with your thumb behind the power button, and hold the curling side of the iron parallel to your head. Gather a small vertical section of hair, brush it out, and hold it taught. Place the hair in the iron and rotate the iron away from your face, pulling the hair forward. For the right side, make sure your thumb is facing upwards behind the light; for the left side, hold your arm up over your head and your thumb down.
Step 4. Bring down the top, section the hair, and repeat the same flipping motion until all the hair is curled.
Step 5. Let the curls sit for 5-7 minutes, and then gently run your fingers through the curls to create a softer curl. Finish the style with a spritz of hair spray. Voila!
Helpful Tips:
- Learning how to use the curling iron can be tricky, so here is a simple video I found that breaks down exactly how to hold and rotate the iron. I recommend practicing with the iron turned off, so that you can pratice without the fear of burning your hair! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGfcSMquOvA
- When applying hair spray, make sure to spray at a vertical angle up into the hair, verses spraying at a horizontal angle against the hair. This ensures that the hair is lightly coated and touchable. 🙂
