Hi guy,
Here's a quick hair curling tutorial for longer lasting curls. I hope this is helpful for anyone who struggles with a curling iron :) Keep practicing if you don't get it the first try. Good luck !
This video it's been requested for some time now. I get asked all the time after my color services. My clients are always like. I cannot make my curls look like this. They never last um. So i said i'd make a video and i'll explain, step by step, for you guys how to create the same. Look. Okay! So, first off i'm going to brush my hair you're going to brush out all the knots and tangles then part your hair, where you normally do so, i'm going to go a little off center and then what i'm going to do is section from my ear. All the way to the back, so that's about two-thirds of my hair next, i'm going to split that in half. So it's in front of me this way it's easy for you guys to control the curling iron. So i have right here it's the mint tool uh. This one is the one inch and a quarter, so i have two sections here with the curling iron. If you have a clamp which i recommend, because it does smooth out the hair when you're curling, it always have it facing the mirror. So you guys are my mirror right now and the clamp is always facing the mirror. Next, i'm going to grab my hair. You can split this into two sections or do it as one i like my curls pretty loose, so i'm going to take a bigger section, but you open the clamp, make sure it's always facing the mirror and do a plus sign and do it as close to Your scalp as possible, okay, then you're going to slowly turn the iron away and press on the clamp as you're pulling it down. So if you imagine yourself driving it's like pressing on the brakes, so you're not gon na like open it and close it, but you're gon na gradually press on it as you're pulling it see, that's the first curl! So as long as you guys have the clamp facing the mirror, the curls will always slip away from your face, which is what we want again. I did the plus sign. I clamped it i'm gradually pressing on the clamp while pulling my hair down and then turning it. Okay, do you guys see this? It'S pretty curly, i'm not going to touch it! I'M going to leave it like this and let it cool down next we're going to take from the temple all the way back: okay and then you're going to section down the middle again. So all your hair is in front of you, you can see it! You can see what's curled, what's not um. I find this is the easiest way. So this is my second section. This is quite big, so i'm gon na split it into two okay, and when you do this every time you split a whole section into smaller sections. You want to start with the one in the back okay, so i'm going to see clamp facing the mirror, plus sign close to the root and i'm going to gradually turn this press on the clamp slide it down and i'm just repeating what i did earlier and Then i once i got to the end, you could let that go. So i'm going to do the same to this section here, plus sign clamp to the mirror, turn away from the face: okay, gradually press down on the clamp while you're sliding this. So it's not yanking on your hair and you just repeat these steps and as long as you have the clamp in front of you, it's pretty easy you're, just turning it this way and then you're turning it to the right side. So again, this section i'm splitting this into two starting with the back section. The reason being is because i don't want to curl the front and then reach for the back one, and this is kind of in my way now and you're constantly touching. It plus sign turn turn slide turn so plus sign. Do you guys see that horizontal, vertical clap close to the roots turn hold down on the cloud while i'm spinning or sliding okay, oh, and if you guys are wondering for the heat setting, i have it. On 390., but i like mine, very hot, if you have finer hair, don't go so high. Okay, we're gon na. Let this cool down we're, not touching it last section, so we split it in half. We put it to the front, so we can see everything. So i'm gon na brush this and i'll probably split this whole thing into four sections, because it's quite a bit of hair but we're starting with the back curling iron same thing plus sign. You could rotate your head. So it's easier instead of like twisting your arms back and gradually turn from the root slide, while you're pressing on the clamp turn okay press on the clamps turn and voila okay. So i'm gon na split this again last line turn clamp slowly. Turn clamp slide turn. So right now, plus sign close to the roots turn slide hold on the clamp turn slide hold on the clamp turn okay face framing pieces, these guys, so it really depends on how you style your your hair, especially the front. I have some clients that love the sweeping the sweeping bangs, so if you're gon na do this start not so close to your roots. So if you like, it sweeping pull it to the front, clamp it down and sweep it and then turn do you guys want to see how it's like this and i'll show you if you like it out of the way which i that's, how i normally would Do it i go very close to my roots yeah. I like that volume here where it lifts it. Okay, so we're gon na do the same thing on the other side, make sure you can see all your hair in the back. That'S why i split it. In half and pull it to the front that way, you can see everything and you don't want any knots in there, because, when you're tapping your hair and you're pulling the iron through, you don't want there to be knots because you're going to create kinks in your Hair, so i'm done curling my hair. Normally i would let it sit for five minutes. I don't use hairspray um for my clients i do especially the ones who don't have volume. Normally. I would tell you to flip your hair back like this, and i would spray around your hairline the sooner you break it up. While it's warm the looser it's going to be. Oh

My hair doesn't usually hold a curl but looks as good as when done 5 hours later!!!

Julie Daychief: The best curling video I watched, Thank you!
Kyleen Drake: This beautiful young girl's hair can handle SOME heat. Some of us who have very fine, curly, easy to dry, thin hair, don't even consider doing this! Instead, if you know how to sew, or are interested in learning, it's time to get a little Singer sewing machine out and make your own silk, non-heat "rag curlers." Take what ever size sponge curler you want off of amazon. Sew a silk "sleeve" for it that fastens after you roll it (Buttons and button holes work pretty well). Don't be cheap with your silk. You will only need less than a yard of it. Better quality is usually more durable. Buy a three dollar silk sleep cap when there to cover your curlers when rolled. Sleep in your rag curls. The sponge rollers very comfortable to sleep in. Same results without frying your hair. Heat protectant only works so well for some of us. >.<
