Fine, straight hair can be difficult to curl because it doesn't retain heat.
Some women consider their straight, fine hair a blessing because it is relatively easy to wash, maintain and style. Curling straight, fine hair, however, can be difficult because fine hair does not retain heat well and loses its curl fairly quickly. Getting a perm can solve the problem, but you might not be satisfied with the results. Using tried-and-true techniques on straight, fine hair at home can help you attain lasting, lovely curls.
Instructions
1. Wash and condition your hair the day before you want to curl it. Blow-dry it so your hair is completely dry. The natural oils that build up from your scalp will help hold the curls in place.
2. Spray your entire head with a fine mist of hairspray, applying it to the roots of your hair as well.
3. Divide your hair into sections, holding them in place with hair clips. Curling larger sections will result in a wavy look; curling smaller sections will result in a curlier look.
4. Curl each section of your hair individually. Start from the tips of your hair, clamping the iron onto the ends and rolling the hair around the barrel until you have rolled all the hair. Take care not to burn your scalp with the iron.
5. Hold the curling iron in your hair for 15 seconds, then release the curl. Do not run your fingers through it. Twist the curled piece of hair and hold it until the heat dissipates. Spray the curl lightly with a mist of hair spray.
6. Continue curling each individual section of hair, spraying each curl with hairspray to help retain their shapes. When you are done curling, use a wide-toothed comb or your fingers to separate the curls and style them into your desired look.
