Long Lasting Curls With Dyson Airwrap | Curtain Bangs & Short -Mid Hair Tutorial | Mistakes To Avoid

Good morning, everyone and welcome, or welcome back to my channel, my name is madison. If you didn't know or we're all friends here, so you can call me maddie. I thought we could do an updated dyson air wrap, hair tutorial one because we haven't done one in a while and two because the last one i did my hair routine has changed quite a bit. So i filmed one probably and to be fair. I wasn't even intending to film one when i did. I sort of just wanted to show it as part of a vlog and then it ended up being the main part of the video. So i ended up calling it i think, a dicing air up tutorial. I had only had my dyson era for that point for a couple of months, so i probably wasn't a pro at it just yet. It'S been eight months since then, and my routine has changed quite a bit, and i've learned quite a lot of the things not to do and the tips to avoid. If you want to have like longer lasting curls and actually keep those curls in not just for one day but for multiple days, and i'm able to do that now and actually keep my hair looking quite nice for a couple of days by using the dyson air App by putting in these certain tips, so i thought we could do an updated tutorial today. So if you do have a dyson air, app and you're thinking, i'm going to get rid of it. Don'T do that yet try some tips first, because it is something that gets better with time and with practice, because now i love my air wrap and i couldn't live without it and i yeah you wouldn't part. I wouldn't part with it for love, no money. So absolutely love it so we're going to get into the video first now i need to go and grab a couple of hair products, because they are one of the main things that you need to know as part of this. So i'll see you in a sec right mistake number one that i was doing this time last year was. I was trying to air up my hair with the attachments with the batter attachments. As soon as i had washed my hair, so i'd wash my hair, it would be soaking wet. I would towel dry it to some extent and then i'll go straight in with the dyson air wrap. Now the dyson air wrap is like a blow dry, so it doesn't work on super wet, hair, the more moisture that's in the hair, the less time the curls gon na hold, so it's harder to wrap it around the barrel. So what i was doing was, i was getting the dyson air wrap. I was actually holding it around, so it dried enough ready for me, then to be able to do the up and down motion, and you don't need to do that. You just need to get your hair to a almost dry state, so the less moisture, that's in your hair, when you're actually putting the curl in the longer it will. Last because as the hair dries and the moisture is sort of coming out of the hair gravity will do its job and it will bring the curl down straightening it, which is why then, the curl won't last. So when i was thinking, why are my cards? Not lasting, that is tip number one: don't do it on wet hair. So the first thing that i'm gon na do is: i am gon na rough dry, my hair, so i'm gon na use the this attachment here now i have the dyson sort of complete set. Um, i know you can get different versions of it. I got the one where you get this hair drying attachment the brush attachment, and then you also get the two barrels in those widths, so you have almost like the medium one and then the the fatter vowel. I got it for short hair, because when i bought this era i did have short hair. My hair is still sort of like medium length, so i still do use the shorter barrels now since then, i have bought two further attachments which to be fair, i probably shouldn't even box. I don't really use them. I have bought the long haired skinny barrel version and i've also purchased the wide barrel long hair version as well. I don't use these. I still use the shorter barrel because my hair is not long enough, so until my hair probably gets to about here - i probably won't be using these, so that was not a good investment, just a tip. So what i'm going to do? First is rough dry. My hair and i'm going to use this attachment here before i do that i do use a heat protector. I use this one. I'Ve been using this one for a while. Now it's the beauty works 10 in one miracle spray. What i like about this one is: it does 10 things for my hair and it's all in one, so i don't have to put multiple products on my hair. It eliminates frizz, restores shine, nourishes, replenishes oils protects from heat, detangles conditions prevents food ends, enhances enhances natural body, repairs, diet, damaged hair and you can use it as a daily treatment. Now my hair is quite thin, so i have a lot of hair, but it is quite thin, so i can't put too much product in my hair because then again it will weigh it down and the curls won't last. If you have thicker hair, you can probably get away with a lot more product than someone with my hair type. Can so i'm gon na spritz this all over and then i'm gon na rough dry it with that attachment. Now, if i was not aiming for curls - and i was more aiming for like a sleek finish, a straight finish - even with like a little bit of bounce in the end, i would use this attachment the brush one. Now, if i use this on my hair, it will straighten my hair and then it won't then want to curl as easily, because naturally my hair is quite wavy, but this will straighten up. So i'm going to use this attachment instead. Okay, so now my hair is almost dry next tip, i'm gon na do is add some product now this is another mistake that i made before i didn't add any product. At this stage, all i did was throw some heat protector on it, dyed an air wrapper and then just spray, a headload of hairspray on it did not last, and it made my hair a bit crispy. So instead, what i do now is when i get to this rough dry stage you can see my hair is now starting to get a little bit frizzy. My hair does frizz, so i'm going to be using a styling foam or a mousse. So this one i've got here, this is just a frizzy's one and it's just to help both frizz and also to create a bit of hold as well. It enhances waves for two sort of styles, so you can use any mousse. You can use a stronghold one. You can use a lighter hold one. It really depends on what you want and also your hair type again now, a stronger, obviously thicker product will weigh down people with thinner, hair and but if you've got thicker hair, you can have that extra product to make sure it really really holds again. I'Ve got thin hair lots of it, but then so i'm going to go and make this sort of a lighter mousse. So i'm just going to squirt on straight like that into my palm and then just run it through my hair and then i'm gon na get a brush and then just brush it sorry memory crowd ran out mid-sentence, so yeah i've just brushed all of that mousse. In to make sure that it's reached all the different bits of my hair, so that is the next top tip now, when you have a fringe or curtain band, i always find it best to do that bit first, because your fringe and the front parts of your Hair are usually the bits that dry the quickest. So if i was to dry the rest of my hair and come back to my fringe by that time, my fringe would be out here, it'll be all frizzy and i'd have to basically wet it and start again. So i always do my fringe first now with the air wrap attachment. It very much depends on what part of my hair that i'm doing like i said earlier, my hair is not long, so i don't need to use the long attachments. Also, i find that they don't pick up my hair as well, so when i use this skinny one, i'm not sure because it is so small so of the wind effect within it doesn't allow it to have the same force to wrap the hair around it. I don't know i'm not a scientist, but i'm thinking that might be why? Because when you use one of the sort of thinner attachment or sorry wider attachments, it then does have that sort of velocity to pick up the hair and bring it round. Now, when you are deciding which attachment to use, you usually should go the one down from the style that you want, because within a few hours again, the curls will drop. So if you like what it looks like when you style it with this wider barrel - and i do this - is my favorite style one - this is what it will look like when you first do your hair and then, within a few hours, those curls will drop out And it'll be not as tight as what you originally thought, whereas if you use the middle one, which is the sort of in between the thinner one, and i will try and put all the stuff down in the description box in terms of what barrel attachments. I'M talking about like the millimeters of them, because i'm not entirely sure - or i put it on screen here and this middle one. This will give you a tighter curl initially, but after a few hours will then drop out and look lovely. The only difference with that is with my fringe, so i do use the wider one because i don't want ringlets in my fringe. What i want is a nice sort of curtain effect for my bangs, so i'm going to go in with the bigger attachment, so we're going to swap over just unclip it there and then clip in that one. Now the controls on here again another tip. I think i've always done this is very very important. Is the cold shot, so i always have it at the highest speed and also the hottest temperature, and then this one here when you kick that just halfway up. That is what turns on the dyson air wrap and it will start to heat up and you'll feel it getting hotter. The hottest setting is not extremely hot, so don't worry, you're not going to burn yourself like if you had a pair of like curling, tongs or straighteners. It doesn't get that hot um, so you can go up to the the highest heat setting and then the other thing that's important is, if you then push the middle dial all the way up. It then gives you that shot of cold air now you're going to hold the curl for 10 to 12 seconds. I usually do 10, 12 15. Depending on how thick the piece of hair i picked up. If it's quite thin, i could do it for 10 seconds. If it's quite thick, i might do it up to 15 seconds and then for the last couple of seconds i'll push that all the way up to the top hold it there give it a nice cold shot and then release it and that cold just sort of Locks that curl in place again making sure that it lasts longer, so we're going to go in with the curtain bangs first, so the first thing i need to do is: i need to part it. So i need to find where my fringe is, which is just there and then you're going to take the dyson air wrap. What i like to do is i like to look at it in the mirror. Another tip is: if you look in the mirror, you see what way the wind is going to be projecting, so you always want it like. If you're doing your curtain bangs, you want it to be facing upwards when you look at it in a screen or in a mirror same way, if you're doing this side of your hair, you always want the wind to be going backwards. So you want the arrow to be going that way if you're doing the right side of your head and then, if you want to do the left side of your head, you use the other way attachment okay. So i have just stacked up my curtain bangs. In a roller now, obviously with your fringe, you don't want it to be like a ring, look curl! So it's more about getting that volume and getting that movement so that when you take this out, you can then have it going like that framing your face. So what i do is, i have it up in there until i can feel that it's dry i'll then put the cool shot in it. I'Ll then take it out, and then this is the only part of my hair, which i do this. I then brush it. I just brush it and then what you'll see is the hair will be almost like flipped up like that in front of you. That means it is done, and it's perfect. You then put it up in a roller, and then that will stay on top of my head like this. While i do the rest of my hair, this bit is all about getting the volume and getting the movement, and the rest of my hair is all about getting the lovely curls. So now that we're going to move on to the curls, i'm going to change my attachment from that medium barrel to the smaller barrel, and i'm now going to begin to section my hair. So i the way that i work is i like to section it in different parts. So i will section the back and do those bits i'll then section another piece and do round by the crown i'll. Then do this side and this side sort of working. My way up until i get to the middle, that's how i find that it's best to do it so we're gon na do the first one together and i'll, see you once i finish the rest of it, so we're gon na section. Actually, what might be easier to show you is, if i do something, that's a little bit off piece than what i normally do, and i might show you this bit here because that'll probably be the easiest bit for you to see what i'm doing so, i'm just Gon na put that bit up in a hair band, so it doesn't get in my way and then just take this piece of hair here and then i'm going to half that now this one i've got the wrong attachment on. As you can see, the arrow is going that way, so i'm going to change that for this one, because i want the arrow to be going that way. So i'm going to get a piece of hair. Now you always hold the air wrap behind it, because you want it to pick up the hair automatically. Now i do like to hold it out just so, it knows what piece of hair it's trying to get and it doesn't get confused with the other bits of hair as well, and then you go up and down until it tightens and then hold that there for About 10 seconds and then cold shot, and then you just release it and you've got that very shirley, temple-esque curl. Now don't be alarmed by that tight curl. You will not like look like a judge at the end of this, with little curls all over your head. This is what you want, and you want that just to stay, you don't want to touch it. You don't want to brush it out, you're going to leave that whilst you do the rest of your hair and it will then eventually drop out into lovely lovely curls and we'll comb it through a little bit which we'll get to at the end. So i'm now going to go away and do the rest of my hair. So i'll see you back when i'm when i'm done. Okay, so hair is all air wrapped now so you'll see that the curls do look quite tight, so that will drop over the next few hours, but we are also going to help it out a little bit as well. Now, once i've got to this stage, i then do give myself a little bit of hair spray. I did that when i was upstairs, i just had to run downstairs for a second just because i've got miss bonbon over there on the sofa making sure that she's. Okay, so i did put a little bit of spritz of hairspray just in the end and what i like to do is i like to put the hairspray up from the bottom, so i'll spray it up that way on each of the head and then i'll. Do a little bit of a spray just on my fringe area as well, so once we're at this stage now we just want to loosen the curls a little bit, not too much don't use a brush top tip. Do not use a brush at this point. If you brush them, you will lose all of your hard earned work so instead either use a very wide toothed comb or your fingers, and i'm gon na use my fingers. I find it the easiest way. So let me pop you just here: okay, so we're just gon na take the hair and then just run our fingers through it and you'll see some of those curls just starting to relax and then we're just going to take this roller out now, if i wasn't Showing you this tutorial, i would have left this roller in for a very few hours. I feel like the longer. I leave the roller in the better, my fringes and the best like the longer they last in that nice sort of position. Sometimes, if i don't have the time when i got to take the roller out quite quickly, then i might have to re-air wrap it and that's another tip as well is that you can wrap your hair so just because you've done this style doesn't mean now that You'Re all stuck like this until you wash it it's not like you know if you're like a curling tong or if you use like a heated tool, sometimes once you get it into that style, you then can't change the style again. It'S not like that of an air wrap. You can re-air up your hair. So if i spotted a particular piece of hair that i didn't like or a curl that i didn't like, i could just run upstairs and quickly. Just re-air wrap it again, reset it with that cool shot, and then it should be a lovely curl. So i can do that with my fringe as well. So maybe tomorrow i might wake up and i think i would like it a little bit bouncier or i like the shape a bit better. Then i can just re-air up it. Put it back in the roller as soon as you've got a bit of heat in a roller it'll then set nicely as it cools down, and then you will be good and go good to go for tomorrow as well. But i'm going to take this one right now, so when i take my roller out, what i do is i pull it and then i actually roll it out. So i roll it out so that when it's like that, it will then look a bit crazy like that and then we just push it back and get it into its shape. So what we can also do as well as flip our hair. So i'm going to flip my hair over quickly and just toss a little about and then just set everything where we want it lovely now. If you watched my last video on the dyson air tutorial, which i will link up here, you might think to myself. The hairstyle doesn't look that different from then, but what this does with these extra tips that i've now included into my routine means that it will. Last a lot longer and my final tip before i leave you - is how you're gon na sleep with it now sleeping with your hair, is very important, especially for curls, to make sure that you're not sort of flattening them and you're. Also, not creating like a massive frizz when you wake up, because i believe me, i've done this and i get up in the morning half of it's straight half of it's still curly, looking all over the place, not a good look. So what i do now is, if you take your hair and you just section it in half and then, if you just lightly twist, it do not completely twist it you'll end up with a crazy curl that will stick up like that in the morning. You just want to lightly twist it lightly twist that side too, and then just bring them around the back, and here you can either put it in a nice little bun very, very loose bun, preferably with like a silk hair tie or a clip and just clip It up and then what i do once it's in there is that i use a silk bonnet, so i just put a silk bonnet over the top of my hair and that's what i sleep with now. Obviously, if you've got like a silk pillowcase, then that's okay, but i do find a silk bonnet. The best thing for me personally so that when i get up in the morning - and i just take the bonnet off - and i unclip it - then my curls are still like this and i can just give them a little bit of a brush, and it also keeps My fringe nice as well, because i do move around quite a bit in my sleep, so the more friction you've got of your pillow, the crazier. Your hair is going to be in the morning and that is also a good tip as well. The twisting and the clip for, if you're, wanting to like travel somewhere, so you can pin curl your hair so as you're dying everything at each piece, you can just put it up together. Stick a pin in it. You can also roller it all as well. So you can dice and air up it and then stick it right on a roller. So you get that nice volume and then that will sort of transport you between your places like say you want into that you're. Getting ready for the day or the evening and you've got a travel. Then you can keep your hair in curlers or pin curls, or you can just do that trick where you twist it around, put it in a clip and that will get you where you need to go and then, when you take the clip out, just give it A nice little and you're back so that is going to end my dyson air wrap tutorial.
