Although it's beautiful, hair that is long and straight can sometimes lack pizazz. Yet many women with this hairstyle will not commit to making a drastic change, such as a perm. The next time you are going out for a night on the town or are simply craving a temporary change, curl your hair. Once you know properly set your hair with a curling iron, you will enjoy transforming your look with beautiful, long curls that you can easily undo at the end of the day and won't have to spend a fortune on.
Instructions
1. Wash your hair the night before you plan on curling it, as curling irons tend to work better on day-old hair.
2. Use a wide-toothed comb to untangle your hair.
3. Apply a thermal protection spray, using your fingers to evenly comb it through the hair.
4. Give the spray a few minutes to dry. The wetter your hair is while curling, the more likely it is to get damaged by the heat.
5. Plug in the iron and adjust the heat settings as desired. Keep in mind that the longer and finger the hair is, the more heat is required to create long-lasting curls.
6. Separate hair into sections, approximately 1-inch thick, and secure each section with a clip while you wait for the iron to get hot.
7. Take the end of one section and clamp it between the plates of the curler. Try to get as close to the tips of the hair as possible to avoid crimped ends.
8. Wind the hair around the barrel.
9. Hold the iron in place vertically for about 5 seconds once the entire section is wound around the barrel.
10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 on the remaining sections, alternating between winding the hair inward and outward around the barrel.
11. Finish by misting the curls with a holding spray.
