How to curl your hair
If you can get someone to help you out it is definitely a good idea, it can take a long time. But if you have to do it yourself, it’s not too difficult and the method is no different. Start by brushing then combing your hair, then separate you hair into manageable sections. You are going to curl from one side to the other, not from the back forward. This way you will avoid missing strands of hair. Do tests before you begin to decide how big you want your curl to be. I recommend using strands of hair that are 2cm by 2cm up to 5cm by 5cm. Any smaller or larger than that will take a long time: small strands are fiddly, thick strands take longer to curl. Once you have decided on your curl size, begin by wrapping a strand around your iron from the tip of the wand to the base. Make sure you always curl in the same direction (or different directions if you want a random look). If you have one or two curls going in a different direction they will stick out like a sore thumb. Once you are finished curling your hair, apply some soft hold hairspray (make sure you get the underside of your hair as well). You can then leave them out or style. A few curls from the front pinned up like a half pony-tail complements many face shapes. If you only want your curls to look good for one day, you could pull them gently into a full pony-tail. Cheat a little by pinning some into position, which creates a nicely shaped pony- tail.
