HOW I CURL MY HAIR

2/28/2018

People seem to compliment me most on my hair.  I have natural highlights that stand out most
when I curl my hair.   Curls make my hair look thicker than it really is because let me tell you, I have
very thin hair!  Today I'm  finally sharing how I curl my hair with an affordable curling wand that works wonders!

While the curling wand is heating up, I coat my hair with this TRESemme heat protectant
spray then run a wide tooth comb through the strands to get each one evenly coated.  I never
EVER use a heat tool without a thermal spray.  Protecting hair from damage should always be
a proactive choice.  The wand is a TIGI Bedhead 1.25" barrel that I have been loving!

Taking 2 inches of hair at a time, I curl away from my face.  I always start with the top
half of my hair and clip it back so it's out of the way while I curl the bottom half.

Since this curling wand is HOT, I only hold the hair around the wand for 8 seconds.  The longer
the hair is on the wand, the tighter the curl and less time on the wand will result in a loose curl.
If you have thicker hair, try using smaller sections of hair and leaving it around the wand for a 
couple extra seconds.  Not too long, or you'll burn your hair!

After the 8 seconds on the wand is up, I let go of the end of the hair and let it gently
fall off the wand.  Then I spiral up the 2 inch section I just curled and hold it in my
had for 5 seconds.  This helps the curl hold for longer!

Repeat curling 2 inch strands until everything is curled!

I generously set the curls with hairspray.  My current favorite is the L'Oreal unscented, extra fine mist hairspray.  It still has a scent but it's less assaulting on the senses.  The fine mist is really nice for getting a more even spray.

Finally, after the curls have cooled, I run my fingers through the curls to separate
the curls.  Then I'm good to go!  For me, since I only wash my hair once a week,
my curls last the whole week!  Sure, they go from bouncy curls to beach waves but 
not having to apply heat to my hair more than once a week really saves my hair from being
over damaged.
