The Best Way to Curl Your Hair
To get the best curls for your hair length, you should to consider the following things.
Is your hair all in one length or be layered? Usually, it will takes more time to curl and shape the layers. Long layers also apply. Do you have any product to hold your dried hair? If you can’t let it dry naturally, here are some quick fixes to get curls on any length.
For short straight hair use 1-inch barrel curling iron, throughout your hair. Curling med pieces of hair making sure you are tucking in the ends so the curl does not flip out. After curling rub some wax or pomade on both your hands. Flip your hair over and rub your fingers through it for a loose curl. If you like the tight curl effort spray some firm hairspray until you are ready to show off your curls.
For medium to long hair it might take a bit of work, but you too can get the waves or curls you like. For un-layered straight hair, you can get a curl, but its going to be very flat on the top of your head and very heavy and curly at the bottom. Invest in some hot rollers at Wal-Mart; getting curls only takes 10 minutes in the hot rollers. Twenty minutes if you are brave and want it really curly. As you wrap the pieces of hair on the roller spray hairspray in a downward movement and lightly stroke the ends before rolling. You get a better-defined curl. Start rolling 1-inch sections from front to back, then do your sides and top. Leave them in 10 minutes and voila! Curls-a-la-Carte. To loosen the curls apply a small amount of BioSilk for a soft shiny finish.
For medium to long layered hair scrunch with Joico's Ice Finisher the hardest hairspray there is out there, but combine it with a soft gel or mousse to give you a softer yet holding curl. It's guaranteed to give you curls all day. Pin some of those pieces of hair up if you plan to make it a night-time event or hot date.
To get the frizz out of any curl use a small amount of BioSilk to any ends. Spray on a spray shine for a final finished look.

Hey.
I found a way to curl my hair effectivly because the curling iron is also not any good for my hair too. It is a overnight thing, what you do is have a shower then twist the hair into sections and the bobby pin on to the top of your head, it can be uncomftrable but it really works, hope i helped

I've done this technique with my hair, which is very long and very thick, as well as my friends' hair that range from short and think and medium and wavy, stick straight, curly. On dry hair, use a flat iron. Take an inch or so piece, and start at the root. Take your flat iron and flip it outwards. You don't need to turn it, but flip it and pull the iron slowly down. Instant curls. Takes some time for sure, but gorgeous curls.

Curling irons don't work for me. I have really long hair. Only the bottom of it curls with curling irons. Not only that but I am too uncoordinated to the point I get burned, get it stuck in my hair, or accidentally drop it. I have pin-straight hair, and ever since I was little I always wanted naturally curly hair. When I was like 8 years old, my mom got me Conair Jelly Rollers, which are the only thing that will curl my hair and let it stay curly without an overload of hair spray. I hate hair spray! So the Jelly Rollers are the best for me!

My hair used to be like that. Take a shower, let your hair dry naturally.
The Next day, get your curling iron ready like.. 20 min before you want to curl your hair. and then when you start curling, after you have a peice of your hair curled up, hair spray it.

Use that tool or something similar. I used it for the first time today and curled my very long, unlayed hair effortlessly - and my hair doesn't take curls well. They're beautiful. It's a great tool.

hello everyone,
i just read the comment from amy jane. i too have extreme curls, long curls, that are hard to tame. along with half the other comments, i agree you should use a anti-friz. i use the paul mitchele anti-frizz (with the green top) it works very well. put it in when your hair is still wet. use hairspray and moose and let your hair AIR DRY! do not use a blow dryer. it does nothing but frizz it more. also, people with curly hair should get a hair cut (trim) very frequently. at LEAST once a month because we use so much product to maintain it, it eventually kills it. so keep it healthy with a haircut =) best wishes

Question....I have never had a problem with my hair not holding a curl after using a curling iron. I wouldn't even have to use hairspray or any additional product to keep it curly. Recently, I'll curl my hair and it takes about 10 minutes for it to lose the curl. Is it possible to have a curling iron that is too hot? My curling iron seams to get hotter than the one I had before it. Is it possible that it gets so hot that my hair says "ouch" and just gives up?

Amy Jane -
starters you probably want to check out some de-frizz shampoo and conditioner.
make sure after washing your hair you dry it - do not towel dry that creates split ends - also dont blow dry in different directions try to keep each blo the same direction and make sure you brush the hair yu are about to dry and dry whilst it is still attatched to the brush.
once your hair is dry straighten it getting a friend t do this will be easier as your hair is long and there will be lts of kinks as it was frizzy.
make sure when you straighten your hair you straighten it from the top.
get the curlers and most of them have a clamp to hold the hair. start at the top f your hair and change the space in between the curls to create different curls as your hair is only one layer this will make it appear as though there are more.
when you unwind the curls leave about 2 wraps of hair at the bottom and loosen the clap hold the curlers straight and allow the curls to drop out. this will make them look bouncier
use a hair shiner (spray not creme as it makes your hair look greasy) and hairspray.
TADA - beautiful curls
