How to Use a Curling Iron to Make Hair Wavy

Step 1: Gather Supplies

The supplies you will need for this process include a curling iron, a comb, styling mousse, hairspray, and a heat protectant. Make sure you have all of these items on hand before you begin. You may also want to have a mirror available so that you can get a better view of your hair as you work.

Step 2: Prep the Hair

After you have all of your supplies, the next step is to prep your hair. Comb out any tangles and make sure the hair is dry, as curling irons do not work on wet or damp hair. Then apply a heat protectant to the hair. This will help to protect the hair from the heat of the curling iron and will also help the curls to last longer.

Step 3: Apply the Mousse

Once the heat protectant is applied, it's time to move onto the styling mousse. Dispense a small amount of mousse into your hands, and then work it through the hair. The mousse will help to give the hair a bit of grip and texture, which will help the curls to stay in place better.

Step 4: Curl the Hair

Now it's time to start curling the hair. Take a small section of hair and wrap it around the curling iron. Start at the roots and work your way down to the ends. Make sure to wrap the hair tightly around the iron, and hold it in place for 10-15 seconds. After the time is up, release the hair and move onto the next section. Continue this process until all of the hair has been curled.

Step 5: Set the Hair with Hairspray

Once all of the hair has been curled, it is time to set it with hairspray. Take a light-hold hairspray and spray it over the curls. This will help to keep the curls in place and will also help them to last longer. Once the hairspray has been applied, you are finished! You should now have beautiful, wavy hair that will last all day.
