Curling Like a Pro: A Step-by-Step Guide on How to Curl Hair with This Curling Iron

Step 1: Prep Work

• Ensure your hair is completely dry and brushed through.
• Apply a heat protectant spray to minimize heat damage.

Step 2: Heat Up and Section

• Plug in your curling iron and set the temperature according to your hair type (consult your user manual for temperature recommendations).
• While the iron heats up, separate your hair into manageable sections, using clips if desired.

Step 3: Start Curling!

• Take a small section of hair (size will vary depending on desired curl tightness).
• Clamp the iron down near the roots.
  • Classic Curls: Wrap the hair section around the barrel tightly, holding it for 5–10 seconds.
  • Beachy Waves: Wrap the hair section loosely around the barrel, holding for a few seconds and letting go before the curl fully sets.
  • Loose Curls: Wrap the hair section around the barrel with moderate tightness, holding for 3–7 seconds.
  • Tousled Waves: Wrap medium-sized sections loosely, alternating directions for texture. Hold for a few seconds before gently releasing.
  • Tight Curls: Wrap very small sections of hair very tightly around a small-barreled curling iron, holding for 10–15 seconds.

Step 4: Release and Style

• Gently release the clamp and unwind the curl. Be careful not to pull or tug on the hot hair.
• Let the curl cool completely before touching it.
• Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all hair sections, alternating curling directions for a natural look.

Finishing Touches

• Once all hair is curled, use your fingers to gently break up the curls for a natural look.
• Apply a light hairspray for hold, if desired.
