Products used:

Tips:

  • When you start curling, clamp the hair and flip the hair AND the straightener backward at the same time.
  • Quickly run the straightener all the way down your piece of hair.
  • For the back, shorter pieces of your hair, curl under instead of backwards. The backwards technique might not work for the shorter pieces, but curling under definitely will.

  • This video is helpful if your hair is really short (lob-length or shorter).
  • Hair powder is extremely helpful for volume, especially when hair is curled. The volume at the roots will push curls up and out.
  • When curling, hold the flat iron in place for a couple seconds and then push it straight down. This is so the curl has time to form.
