How to Get Curly Hair

When it comes to getting curly hair there are several methods that you can use. Often these methods include the use of straightening irons or rollers. You will need to take extra care when using straightening irons to curl your hair as it is possible that you will leave your hair damaged due to excessive heat. With the following steps you should be able to achieve a nice curl like the styles pictured below:

The first step is to wash your hair and give it a blow dry, making sure your hair is hot will make it easier to curl and hold its shape. Make sure you use a protective spray with the emphasis being on heat protection, as this will give you some protection against potential heat damage as well as being able to give your hair that nice shiny finish.

You will then want to take your hair in small segments whilst having a layer of your hair in contact with your straightening iron plate at all times. There are many different styles of straightening irons available but as general rule titanium coated or ceramic straightening irons will be best for your hair.

Starting just a few inches away from your head will give you nice curls without making your hair look all messed up and mangled, as happens more easily with the hair closer to your head. Take the remaining length of hair and curl it around the plate of your straighteners.

Now that you have a segment of your hair curled use hair spray with a fine mist to hold it in place. You will want to make sure that you don’t pull the curls out by running your fingers through your hair. Let the curls cool down and they will then set in place.

Repeat this process all over your head to give yourself a wonderful set of beautiful curls. A few extra things to remember are to not comb your hair as this can make it frizz up and also look less natural. Try not to curl your hair too often because as mentioned above excessive heat can be damaging to your hair. In addition to environmental factors, constant washing, blow drying and use of heat styling irons can cause colour-fade.

Of course you could always use Curlformers to curl your hair, which will leave you with the same result without the need to subject your hair to excessive heat.
