Curly Hair Tutorial How To Get Tight, Voluminous & Natural Looking Curls

Down yeah hi everyone, it's Ariel here and welcome back to my channel who this okay. Today, I'm going to show you guys how I go from my typical pin straight hair to this super curly, big voluminous curls. I feel like a straight hair. Girls grew up wishing. We had this hair and then curly hair girls wish they had been straight hair, so this is kind of just how I change up my appearance and give my younger self the curly hair dream every once in a while - and I know I did a chit chat - Get ready with me the first time I ever tried this about two years ago, but we are back with a full tutorial with all my tips and tricks on how to achieve. This. Look so be sure to give this video a big thumbs up and also comment down below any of your questions, your thoughts and requests and subscribe to my channel, if you're not already into my post notifications on so you don't miss out on any of my fun Content but yeah guys - and I also wanted to show you guys how I'm styling this look, I'm going to insert a clip right here of a look with this hair that I'm gon na go shoot right now, but without further Ado. If you want to see how I got this look down, okay guys, so I just finished my makeup and it is very much time to start with our, oh, so just a disclaimer, especially depending on your hair type, and if it's your first time doing this, I Think my first time I got this done in an hour and a half, I'm gon na shoot for an hour today, but yeah. This isn't even hard to do. It'S just very, very tedious, there's a lot of sectioning of the hair and yeah. So, let's just get right into it: okay, so what you're gon na need is Clips, something to section your hair off with a brush of course. For me, if you guys know, I have pretty pin straight hair, I just had it in a blowout. This is like fifth day hair, so I actually like to do it when my roots are like a little bit more greasy because it holds, but you can totally do it on clean hair. I have my basket of products right here pretty much for this. I like to just stick with heat: protecting and hairspray. You could put volume spray as well if you have a problem with your hair being flat, but right now my hair is pretty voluptuous, so we'll get to that in a little bit. But our star of the show is this Conair curling wand, this super a tiny wand I bought this off of, I believe either Amazon or Target this really thin Barrel is what is going to get us our natural coil like curls today. So, let's just get started, I'm gon na first just spray, especially focusing on the ends and fun fact. I actually waited to film this because I'm getting a haircut tomorrow, so I figured it's a perfect time um. This is pretty heat damaging by the way so you're going to want to really put heat protectant all over I'm first starting by just coating, all of my hair at once, and I'm also going to spray each section again before I do it. I actually really recommend which I have to pick up myself: the Fantasia heat protectant for this, because it is an oil-based serum protectant. So it's really gon na look. Super nice also make sure to just part your hair before this and yes so starting off, we are going to part the very first part, which is the bottom section, I'm not like a professional partner or anything we're working in very, very, very small sections. Today, okay and like I said before, we get started, I'm actually going to spray this as well, and yes so because I have such thin hair. Also, I have this heated up to the highest setting, so I like to go in with about half inch sections just like, so you can get away with bigger or smaller, depending what you like, and I like to open the clamp and kind of wrap it around. The barrel pretend the clamp isn't even there and then coil it. I leave the clamp on top and I hold this here for about five to ten seconds honestly, when you're working with this little sections, you don't have to really worry too much about anymore time and, as you could see, we have this beautiful coil. So, throughout this entire video remember do not touch your coils. I do not spray them. I don't do anything to them. I just literally do this around my whole entire. Your head, like I said it's very tedious. It'S actually very easy to do and something that I've learned over time. I remember the first time I'll link the first Chit Chat, get ready with me. I ever did with this hairstyle and if you watch it back, you can see that I did not curl the tops right and it looked like a little bit awkward, so something I try to keep in mind is to get as close to the root as possible, While you're doing this, because that's going to give you the most natural result in the end, so as you can see, we just have these coils. I do not touch them. I do not spray them and yes, I'm gon na split this into two and I'm gon na try to work as fast as possible today, guys, actually, because I want to get as many pictures done before I have to get on for work later. So yes, one two three four five, this one I held for a little bit less. So let me show you guys what that looks like, but, as you can see, I didn't really focus on the root right here. Sometimes it's hard on, at least for me for my left side when I'm reaching across to get really close to the room, but this is also the very bottom section. So I don't worry too much about this bottom section, because the top is what really matters when you're doing this also remember the more sections you do, the more voluminous it's gon na be so okay, we're getting caught up in here. This section wants to come down. Let'S fix her again, also guys, if you see me looking right there, I have my mirror on the floor, so I'm trying to look that way. This is like a new setup. I am trying. I do like my vanity setup if you whoa whoa what is going on if you guys watched my Dyson video, I filmed majority of the clips by my vanity, but I just feel like for some reason. I don't know if it's the lighting or what it is. I don't love that setup so for here, oh try not to burn my ear off. I try to get as close as possible and I just wrap it really tightly oops see like even that little bit of heat really curled to that piece. So I try to just keep it in, but yeah. I feel like there's just nothing that compares to like this light setup, so I'm trying a new setup today. That'S why my mirror is not really situated and um, since I didn't really plan this out too much um. I normally would have like a table with a mirror close to me, so I apologize, but yes, these little coil curls, it's gon na look crazy at first. This is a very much trust, the process kind of look, and let me show you guys this: it's like a thicker piece right here. This is a little bit more than half an inch of a piece. So let me show you guys what the coil looks like with the piece similar to this and remember every time you wind it up just kind of pull it up. Honestly to me this is like even easier than other hairstyles, because it's literally just tediously making a bunch of coil curls. It does get a little difficult by the top. It'S kind of just like time. As you can see, it still gives a really nice coil curl. Even with like a bigger section - and I barely left that on so also guys, don't be scared to wear a glove when you're doing this trust me, I burn myself a lot. I should be wearing a glove right now, so there we go okay, so we're literally just gon na leave it like this and another thing to keep in mind. This is also why I wanted to do it before I have my hair cut. My hair was like maybe a little bit past, my boob - I don't know you guys saw in the beginning and it gets so short, and this is my longest layer. So I'm getting even more layers and cutting it even shorter tomorrow, um so just know. You'Re gon na have really short hair the first time I did this. My hair was super long and it ended up coming about chest length. But, as you can see, this is coming barely just my neck. So what I'm gon na do is just let some more hair down and with sectioning it's actually pretty easy, because obviously it's so easy to tell which pieces haven't been curled, so just kind of sectioning it off. This is kind of a bigger section, but I'm going to make sure we take small pieces and again just spraying mostly on the ends. All of your hair is pretty much getting a bunch of heat exposure with this. So just keep that in mind but yeah. How are you guys doing? I feel like I have to speed this up too, because it's just again, like I said, a lot of tedious curling. I hope you guys are having a great February. Let me know in the comments and again, if you want to you, can take like a tiny piece here and there just to switch it up a little bit, and also everything, as you can see, is going away from the face so yeah, depending on how much Hair, you have, I feel, like I, have medium length, hair and like medium thickness, it's not too thin, it's not too thick, but prepare to like spend at least two hours doing this I kind of insane, but I also am able to make this last for up To three days I would say, then it starts to look a little bit messy, but I like to keep it in messy buns um. The second day hair with this for messy buns, is so cute. If you guys have been following me for a while, especially on my Instagram you'll, see that I kind of like milk, the days that I have with this hair as much as possible um, because it is time consuming okay yeah, as you can see, we have so Much hair to go but we're just gon na keep on curling and yeah. Don'T worry so much about like stragglies too um, because they kind of get hidden, and I like to do one big touch up at the end. But from here guys, I'm just going to try to speed my way through this process as fast as possible, and I'm gon na check back in with you guys when we get to the crown of the head right, the very top section, because that is the most Important, but you just want to repeat this step, and it depends how super curly you want it, but I feel like the most natural way to do. This is just have like some sections, bigger than others and remember, do not touch the hair, even if you have thin hard to hold curl hair. This iron right here should really stamp your hair in place unless you're, seeing that the curls are falling, which they shouldn't because of how small the sections are, they should kind of just stay in this coil. Don'T touch don't brush through it, don't do anything until the very end, so I will talk to you guys when we get to the very very top, also try not to yank the curls down, at least yet. Just don't don't touch it. Also, if you want, you can always screw off the clamp. If that helps, I just think the clamp helps me um hold it in place, sometimes as well. Okay, the update so far as you can see we're gon na start building up more and more volume and honestly I do this about once or twice a year. I think the last time I did this was probably a year ago, I'm actually gon na start at the front for this one. So the front pieces especially pieces that are framing your face just try to get close and hold for less time easily. Okay, guys so with the top, so the mistake I used to make when sectioning it is sectioning going horizontally instead of vertically. If that makes any sense, I don't know if you've ever done a blowout before it'll help. You make sense of like the top section how they usually blow out it going upwards. That'S how you want to section it if you section horizontally, that's how you're gon na get all the space on the top being straight, how I did the first time in the first video I ever made doing this so yes, this is like the final section that I'M gon na do before we get to the very very top, but this is going to give us the most volume and I'm just going to spray. But I just wanted to make that clear before we get to the very very top section. But as you can see, looking almost there and try to get as close to the top as possible for these sections, so these top sections as annoying as it is because you just want to be done and over with I'll, do even smaller sections, um and split Them in half, sometimes just so that it'll look the best at the end. Okay, looking crazy guys almost done, you start looking like this. That'S when you know it's about it all come together soon. Okay, take the final section I like to work down the middle first before I decide. If I want to do a side part with this, look, I just feel like the middle: just gets it even and nice and then we could play with it. After so final Spritz of heat protectant get the heat protectant all the way to the roots, because we are working with a lot of heat up there that you normally don't use that much for other styles, so you're going to start all the way back up here. Just remember we're trying to get as close to the roux like this, so I like to work from the back to the front so here. Ah then, we take this section again take from here and then again lay lay the iron on the top. Try not to burn your scalp or anything. This is the key guys. Sorry, I can't even see you guys when I'm talking but and again trust the process, guys trust the process and try trust me if this is your first time it's going to take two hours, but this is my fourth or fifth time and it's taken me. I think 45 minutes so far, so I'm about to finish in like a little under an hour which is crazy. Beauty is pain, just remember that so yeah leaving it so, as you can see, it's coming very much to the top volume and I'm gon na split this part into two pieces right here. This front piece is very important because that's like your face framer, so sometimes you got to be in awkward angles at this point too, just trying to get close to the root almost done. Isn'T it crazy? How, like you go from that to that, so for the very top piece. I try not to burn the top of my scalp and I just like to make it look nice and I don't want to keep it there too long, also uh. So there we go. Okay, so leave that there, because we're gon na have to fix this afterwards, but let me fix these stragg leaves right here, almost done guys. You'Re gon na have little sections like squares moving to the front, and this is how you really get the top first time. I did this, I did not do it right and I was wondering why it looked a little funky and didn't look that natural but see how we have like a square right here and my neck guys feels like it's gon na snap off. So if your neck feels like that, that's how you know you're doing it right almost done. Oh, my God, I cannot believe I have finished in basically 55 minutes. This is good guys, so I have to go. Take pictures, okay, final piece. Ah, okay, leave it on. We look crazy right. This is how we start the process. So what I like to do is start from the bottom and brush outwards. Try not to go too crazy with the brushes. I don't like to go in with the comb. Your hands is good enough separate the pieces. This is how we make it look natural. You can separate it into like three pieces, see how you like it, the more you go in and separate the bigger it's gon na be so just keep that in mind. If you don't want too too big, like, as you could see like what just be careful with this part, guys also at the top, is where I really like to separate it so that it looks as natural as possible right here up here, you see that you See that and then in the back, okay still looking crazy. Also, this is the shortest. My hair has been while doing this, so I'm like trying to adjust right now and I'm like hold on flip from the bottom yeah and actually y'all. I do see why I always do the side part, because you see it just looks a little bit more natural and a little bit more tamed. So let me part my hair and then from here I like to go in and re-curl all these pieces right here that we brushed out to too much to give them definition. But as you can see guys, this method is really giving like, naturally curly hair, because they aren't perfect, got ta, go in and rework them a little bit. You'Re honestly gon na feel, like a whole new person too, when you do this so right up in here too see how it's a little frizzy, I'm gon na go in and re-curl these pieces. You could also use oil if you prefer, but I like to just have some more defined curls in there. After brushing it out fix it up, make it look a little less frizzy you could put in like a frizz, tamer gel, and I like to go around the edges, especially this is like the face framing part, and it just makes it look a lot more tame. I don't mind me guys, I'm in a rush, so I'm just doing this kind of messily and I also brushed some of the Eco gel through the hair, also going in with some hair oil. All the products I use by the way will be linked down below for easy access. I run this in kind of scrunching it into the hair, so it just looks natural, healthy, softer shinier as well. It'S crazy how the transformation happens seriously. Yeah I like to give it a good spray as well, not too much and make sure you're using a hairspray. That'S not crunchy! I really like this Garnier one, the front pieces, especially you want to spray, and this is the finish line up down.
