Curls are a good way to add style to your hairstyle. This can be useful for a last-minute decision to have a night out or even to just change up your look. Learn how to get a professional-looking hairstyle, if even on a budget, by reviewing the steps below.
Step 1: Get together with girlfriends, of different hair types, and play with each other’s hair, using curling irons and rollers. Brainstorming for ideas of new styles will bring more ideas, and being creative is never frowned upon when it comes to dreaming up new styles.
Step 2: Find a styling gel, mouse or spray and apply it to your hair, which should be clean and damp, and then blow dry your hair until it is completely dry. The curls will hold better and longer with help from hair products of good quality.
Step 3: First, you will want to clip your hair back in sections. Release one section at a time and brush the hair to remove tangles and knots. Spray the loose hair with a small amount of soft-hold hairspray if you have fine hair that does not hold curls well.
Step 4: Start with the hair closest to your scalp, or the under section and work your way up to the top. Twist a section of the hair, using your fingers, if you want spiral curls. If you want larger curls, take a larger, flat section to work with. Roll the curling iron up the hair and hold it on for approximately 10 seconds.
Step 5: Open the iron and release the curls, and proceed to the rest of your hair until all of it has been curled. Flip your head to shake out the curls and style your hair to your taste.
Step 6: Spray the style with a light amount of hair spray to hold it.
