Everyone is always asking me how to get the perfect curls. You know which ones I’m talking about because they are everywhere on Pinterest and Instagram. If i had a dollar for every time someone said “If you could just come home with me!” or “It will never look like this again” I would have hundreds of dollars! Its really not hard, with a little practice you can get the look at home too.
You can achieve this look with a regular spring curling iron, I am using 1 1/4 inch barrel. It is a Hot Tools brand. I will link to the same size iron -> HERE If your hair is shorter or you prefer more curl this is the 1 inch version -> HERE I had someone go out and buy a marcel curling iron like the one i’m using in the video and that is extremely hard to learn in general, especially on yourself. You WILL burn your fingers, so don’t do it! haha!
In this video I give you a visual of how I curl the hair and all of the pictures I show at the beginning are using this technique. This took me a total of 6 minutes and honestly I can do it in under 4 minutes when I’m in a hurry. Curling your hair like this can be very easy to do once you get the hang of it. The key is a great curling iron that you don’t need to hold in your hair for very long. You do not want to burn your hair. I also show you the hair products I used to prep my hair before blowdrying.
Style Guru- Used for smoothing and has a gentle hold for styling.
Thermal 2 Twenty- Protects from heat damage(very important) Up to 220 degrees celsius or 428 degrees fahrenheit.
Control Volume- I use this in my roots for extra lift and texture. I need it for my fine, oily hair.
If you have any questions, let me know in the comments! Thanks everyone! Enjoy!
