Get Spiral Curls

Most women with straight hair want curls or curly hair at some point in their lives. Nothing feels sexier than a head of shiny, bouncy spiral curls that beg to be touched. With a few tricks and the right equipment, anyone with some length to her hair can achieve bouncy, spiral curls.

Instructions

1. Purchase a set of molecular steam curlers. Two trusted brands with this type of curler set in their product line are Vidal Sasoon and Richard Caruso.

2. Clean your hair.

3. Plug the curler set in and turn it on. Wait for the indicator light to tell you the curlers are ready.

4. Section a lock of hair and make sure it's smooth. In general, hair from one square inch of scalp is a good guide for a "section" of hair.

5. Twist the lock of hair until it's tight. The lock of hair now looks a bit like a dreadlock.

6. Hold the end of the twist at the base of a curler and wind the twist up the length of the curler until the curler is at your scalp. Do not roll the twist onto the curler. Just hold the curler in one hand and move your wrist in a circular motion to wind the twist up the roller. Secure the curler with a clip that comes with the roller set.

7. Repeat Step 6 until all of the hair is twisted and wound in rollers. Let the steam and the ions generated by the molecular steam set penetrate the hair. The beauty of the steam curlers is that no matter how bulky the hair is, once it's rolled the steam penetrates evenly while the ions encourage the hair's molecular structure to relax and reform into curls.

8. Take the hair down once the moisture infuses into the hair and the steam evaporates.

9. Finger-style the spiral curls as desired and set with a light fixative.
