How to Curl Your Hair
Curling your hair is one of the skills that most women learn how to
do early on in their beauty development. The techniques used to curl
hair have evolved over the years. During the early years curls were
created with curling papers and rags. Then curling irons that were
heated on a stove were used to create long curly locks. Today there
are a variety of ways to curl your hair including using curlers,
curling irons, and hair care products.
How to Curl Your Hair Curling Iron
One of the fastest ways to create curls is with a curling iron. To
use a curling iron to create curls you will want to start with dry
hair. Select a barrel size that represents the size of curl you
want. Smaller barrels will create tighter curls while larger barrels
will create looser curls and waves. Plug in your curling iron and
let it heat up. Then select a portion of hair and roll it up on the
curling iron. Let is set for a few seconds and then release the
hair. That is all there is to it.
How to Curl Your Hair Traditional Curlers
Traditional curlers are intended to be used with wet hair. After you
have washed your hair you will want to roll your hair up in
traditional curlers. Try to roll your hair in rows instead of
rolling freestyle. After your hair is set with curlers you can
either allow them to dry overnight or you can speed up the drying
process by sitting under a dryer. If you use a dryer you will want
to let your curls cool down before you unroll the curlers. This will
help them to set better and the curls will last longer.
How to Curl Your Hair Curl Enhancers
One of the latest ways to create curls is to use a curl enhancer
system. Start with a curl enhancing shampoo and conditioner. Then,
while your hair is still wet, apply a small amount of curl enhancer
serum to your hair and define curls with your fingers. Set your
curls using a finishing product that is also designed for curls.
This method of curling your hair wont create curls in straight
hair, nor will it turn wavy hair into curly hair. Instead it will
amplify the natural waves and curls in your hair.
How to Curl Your Hair Gel
Another easy way to curl your hair is to use gel. To start with you
will want to apply a small amount of gel to the palm of your hand.
Rub the gel between your palms to loosen it up. Work the product
into your hair. Next start scrunching your hair and defining curls
with your fingers. The gel will help hold the curls and waves that
you create. This is a great way to get that tousled look that has
become so popular with trend setters like Jennifer Aniston.
