Curling Like a Pro: A Step-by-Step Guide on How to Curl Hair with This Curling Iron
Now that you know your curl goals, let’s get down to business! Here’s a general guide on how to curl hair with a 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.
