Preparing Your Hair for Curling

Before you start curling your hair, it’s important to make sure it’s prepped and ready. Start by washing your hair with a shampoo and conditioner that’s designed for your hair type. This will help ensure that your curls last longer. Once your hair is clean and conditioned, apply a heat protectant and a curl-enhancing mousse or styling cream.

Once you’ve applied the product to your hair, blow-dry it until it’s completely dry. This step is important because it will help ensure that your curls don’t fall out. Make sure you’re using a round brush to get the best results. Once your hair is dry, it’s time to start curling.

Curling Your Hair

Hold it in place for 10-15 seconds before releasing it. If you’re using hot rollers, wrap a section of hair around the roller and clip it in place. Make sure you’re using the right size rollers for the type of curls you’re going for.

If you’re using a flat iron, start by separating your hair into sections. Take a small section of hair and wrap it around the flat iron. Hold it in place for a few seconds before releasing it. This will create loose, beachy waves. Make sure to use a heat protectant before using a flat iron.

Finishing Your Curls

Once your hair is dry, you can use your fingers to gently tousle the curls and create a more natural look. If you want your curls to last longer, you can apply a light styling cream or mousse before you start curling your hair.
