Perfect Curls

Looking to have the prettiest curls this summer? Here are 3 different ways to make them perfect. Enjoy!
Curling Iron:
1^st To begin; choose a size and style of curling iron that will achieve the results that you want. Small barrel irons will produce small curls while large barrel irons will produce large curls. If you are interested in achieving spiral curls, there are curling irons meant for creating spirals.
2^nd Separate hair into 1” to 2” sections and beginning at the ends of your hair, wide each section onto the barrel of the iron stopping when you are 2- 3 inches away from the scalp. DO NOT roll any further than this since the heat from the curling iron can cause serious burns to your scalp. Hold the iron for no more than one minute and then gently unwind the section of hair from the barrel.
3^rd Carefully pin back each curled section of hair and continue to curl your hair in the same manner in step
4^th When all of your hair has been curled, carefully remove the pinned curls and leave as is or run your fingers through the curls until you get the look you want.
5^th Finish the look with a holding spray to keep the curls into place, if you desire.

Hot Rollers:

1^st Make sure hair is clean and dry before you begin. If desired, apply a volumizing mousse or styling cream from roots to ends to allow curls to set better. Divide hair into sections and roll each section on hot roller, then secure with the fitting pin. Again, depending on the desired style, use large hot rollers for a looser curl and smaller hot rollers for a tighter curl.

2^nd Allow the rollers to set for at least 20 – 30 minutes. Anything less than 20 minutes will only result in a wave.

3^rd Remove the sitting pin and then gently remove the roller. Repeat until you have removed all of the hot rollers.

4^th Once the hot rollers have been removed, apply a hair shining product and then using your fingers, create a hairstyle that you desire. Remember that using combs or brushes can cause your curls to become frizzy and even fall.

5^th To finish the look apply a holding spray if desired.

Sponge Rollers:

1^st Blow-dry your hair until it only slightly damp, then divide hair into sections and roll each section on to the roller and secure with the plastic clip. Depending on the desired look, you may want to try large rollers for a looser curl or smaller rollers for a tighter curl.

2^nd With the rollers still in your hair, allow the hair to dry naturally if possible. Using a blow dryer can cause your curls to separate and create a frizzy effect. If you must use a blow dryer, make sure that you turn it to the lowest setting when drying.

3^rd Once your hair dries, remove the rollers and apply a dime to quarter size amount of hair shine product depending on the length of your hair.

4^th To achieve your desired style; use your fingers to create the look. Using a comb or brush will damage curls and cause them to become frizzy.

5^th Finally, you may need to use a holding spray if you would like your curls to last a little longer. If so, remember to use a light touch since too much spray can cause stiff hair and curls to fall.
