How To Curl Your Hair With Styling Gel

Step 1: Wash Your Hair

The first step to curling your hair with styling gel is to wash it. Make sure you use a shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for your hair type. If you have curly hair, you should use a shampoo and conditioner made specifically for curly hair. This will prevent your hair from getting too dry or too oily. After you’ve washed your hair, you should towel dry it and brush it out to remove any tangles. When your hair is completely dry, it’s ready for the next step.

Step 2: Apply Styling Gel

Once your hair is dry, it’s time to apply styling gel. How much styling gel you use will depend on the length and thickness of your hair. Start by applying a small amount of styling gel to your hair, focusing on the ends. Work the gel through your hair with your fingers, or use a wide-toothed comb for more even distribution. If you want, you can also use a brush or comb to section off your hair before you apply the styling gel. This will help you make sure each section of hair is evenly coated. Once you’ve applied the styling gel, you’re ready to move on to the next step.

Step 3: Curl Your Hair

Now it’s time to curl your hair. Start by taking small sections of hair and wrapping them around your curling iron. Make sure you keep your curling iron at a low temperature to avoid heat damage. Once you’ve wrapped your hair around the iron, hold it there for a few seconds before releasing. If you want looser curls, you can hold the curling iron for a shorter amount of time. For tighter curls, hold it for a few extra seconds. Move on to the next section of hair and repeat the process until you’ve curled all of your hair.

Step 4: Let Your Hair Cool

Once you’ve finished curling your hair, let it cool for a few minutes. This will help the curls set and last longer. You can also use a hairspray to help set and hold the curls. Be sure to spray it at least 10 inches away from your head so that the hairspray doesn’t weigh down your curls.

Step 5: Style and Go!

Once you’ve let your hair cool down, you can style it however you like. You can add a bit of hairspray for extra hold, or use a brush or comb to separate the curls. You can also use your fingers to give your curls a more natural look. Once you’re finished styling your hair, you’re ready to go out and show off your beautiful curls!
