Do you have straight hair? Are you jealous of all those gorgeous curls on your friends and on celebrities? Curls are in right now. If you have straight hair, you are in luck because it's not that hard to get curls as well. It will take a little bit more work, but it is possible.
Your first step is the shampoo and condition your hair. It must be clean and very well moisturized. Use a deep conditioner if you want for extra moisture against the curling iron. If you have oily hair, concentrate the conditioner on the ends that will be drier.
Next, either let your hair air dry, or blow dry it. Add a defrizz serum if you would like before you blow dry. Blow dry it straight so that you end up with a clean slate. One good idea is to wash it the night before and then let it air dry overnight so that it's dry by the morning. This will also help minimize the heat and damage you put on your hair.
Now you need your tools and supplies which are a comb or a brush, a medium or small sized barrel curling iron, and hair gel and spray. The gel and spray will be used to hold the curls in place. Use a smaller curling iron if you have very straight hair that doesn't curl well.
Start by taking a small section of hair and combing it straight. Get a dab of gel and run it over the strand of hair from root to tip. Make sure you spread the gel evenly by first rubbing it between your fingers.
Make sure you don't use too much so that it's crunchy. A little crunch at first is okay because you will scrunch it up later to get rid of the crunch. Use a strong hold gel and not a curling gel. Curling gel is made for naturally curly hair just to keep it in place. It is light and not strong enough to keep curls in naturally straight hair.
Now you will use your curling iron. Once it is hot, clip it over the hair at the root and gently pull it down till it is just covering the end of the hair. Twist the barrel inward until it is all wrapped and hold for about 3 to 5 seconds. Don't leave for more than 5 seconds or it will burn. Unravel it quickly to release the curl. Immediately spray your hair with hair stray and don't touch it until later.
Once you've finished all your hair, turn your head over and spray your hair with hair spray. Shake your head gently to finish off the curls and release them. Flip your head back u pand arrange your curls how you want them and then finish off with a little more hair spray.
