You'Re Curling Wrong. Curls For Fine Straight Hair. Get Volume With Your Curls

This week, i'm taking my fine flat lifeless, hair to full and curls with movement and body. So let's go hey everyone. Welcome to my channel i'm summer. I recently took out my hair extensions that were giving me my thick hair goals and volume, but it was time for a break and of course, i'm left feeling like i have no hair and just very meh about it. So, typically, how i like to combat my flat, fine straight hair, when not having extensions in it, is that i love to curl it. It just gives it. I feel so much more body and movement, and i feel i can get away with more days in between washes with my hair curled versus straight. So i thought it would be a fun video to show you how i like to use an iron on my hair for my curls and adding fullness today i will be using time mo's aqua for curling, my hair. I have used a few different tools from them. So i'm very excited to try this out. I will be breaking down all of its features as we go through this curling tutorial and i can't wait to see how this beauty performs so first things. First, i like to prep my hair for curling with a somewhat effort-ish blow-dry. I like to use all the volume products so use your favorite root, lifter and mousse, and my tip would be to use a medium to stronghold gel depending on how well or not. Well, your hair holds curl for myself. I feel, like the gel just gives my curl a little bit more hold. You can use a blow dry cream with hold too, if you don't like a gel, and i will link some of my favorite options in the description below the timel aqua is a one and a quarter inch barrel, curling iron, coming with both a glove and clips To give you the tools for a nice curling experience retailing for 99.99. What separates this iron from others is that it takes moisture from the air, see all these little holes and it puts it back into your hair, while curling reducing heat damage and adding moisture to the hair boasting to leave your hair feeling healthy and shiny. I am always down for cool technology and hair tools, and the best way they describe this is that it's like a sauna treatment for your hair, and i can get done with that. This is a 50 second heat up time. Nano titanium coating. So it's going to help with shine as well in five temperature settings ranging from 250 to 390 degrees fahrenheit. Now that i have my hair fully dry, i'm going to select my heat temperature. If you have super coarse, thick hair, you might opt for the highest heat setting and while my hair is on the finer very straight side, i do opt for somewhere in the middle to even high middle, while i'm not looking to overdo it. On my hair, you do need the heat to get that curl in place, especially if your hair is resistant to holding curl. So i'm going to go with the fourth heat setting, so this is putting me probably right at 360 degrees. So i'm just gon na section off my hair, nothing fancy using one of the clips coming with the iron, and i will start from the bottom and work my way up, while this iron suggests that the hydration offers helps with heat damage. I still like to use a heat protectant just for a little extra tlc and i will again link some options below of my favorites. So i will first spray my section with my heat protectant and then i like to spray with hairspray prior to my iron. Just to give it a little extra boost of hold that step is optional, but if you choose to do so, you definitely want to use a working spray. Okay, so i like, i said like to start in the back and just work my way up and i like to start on my outer corners and i prefer to roll everything back away from my face. So i'm just going to take the iron clamp side out place in my hair and wrap up. I like to start in the middle section of the hair, and i typically like to do it a little tighter at first, so i will wrap up pretty much all the hair. I leave just a little bit out on the ends and i like to count anywhere from 10 to 20 seconds to really get that curl to bend in place. That is key, especially if you have very resistant hair to curling all right and then we're just gon na. Let it out oh yeah, that's a nice little spring to it. It'S super soft feeling, especially even with the hairspray and iron spray, and then i like to just directly go into my other side, again, clamp side out, and i am doing mine on the lightly tighter side at first rolling up more of that hair into the iron. Not leaving so much hair out just because the hair is naturally going to fall on its own. So if you have very resistant hair to curling it do it a little tighter at first - and i don't know if you guys can see this, but i can see a little bit of that steam coming off from the aqua. That'S sauna treatment, oh yeah! It'S definitely more bouncy and springy. I will say compared to when i do other irons, so that is nice, okay and then, when i get to my back instead of curling, this whole piece of hair, i'm just gon na separate it into two and then again, i'm curling these away from my face. So i'm bringing the hair forward clamp side is out and wrap okay, so we have our first section done: got nice curls going there, and then i like to just spray with a coat of hairspray just slightly before moving on to the next section, i always find That helps just give that extra hold to use if you need the extra hold with your curls okay and then so. Moving on to my next section, i'm just literally letting my hair down and moving up my head and clipping the rest of this hair up. So another thing that you can do to add a little extra body is, i like to come in and sort of tease a little bit each section just because my hair is so flat to my head. So i will just lightly tease it or as much as you want. You don't have to do this part, but it does create just a little bit more body, so you can do it over your whole entire head. If you want - or you can do it in just set sections a lot of times i'll just do my crown area so keep that in mind. If you're looking for something to just lightly kick up the fullness everywhere teasing, you can never go wrong with teasing. I'M obsessed with teasing and just let it out really gentle try not to touch it too much once you've, let it out from the hair. You want it to be able to fully cool down that way, you're not pulling out the curl and then again i'm pretty much curling all the hair up into the iron, i'm not really leaving that much hair out. That'S because i'm looking to just really kind of tighten up everything as it's just going to naturally fall a little bit on its own, remember, to tease each section when curling for the most lift, and i will touch on some teasing tips in just a little bit. You can see the steam going around sauna treatments, not a bad way to describe this. So again, i'm going through and teasing as i move through each individual piece. You can, if you wanted, to tease the whole section and then curl, but i just kind of will tease each piece as i go and like i said you don't have to tease everything. This is just how i like to do it because i find it helps just give me the extra height at my root. Okay. So now that i am in my next section again, i'm going to come up and tease. So i'm going to pull the hair all the way up. Fine side of your comb, if you're unfamiliar with teasing - and i just am going to go down about six back combs, so one two three four five six i like to do an even amount of back combing for each section, so that way, you're getting the same Sort of lift it just creates a little bit more poof, so these are front side. Sections of my hair are like the number one reason why i like to wear extensions, because my sides just don't grow at all. My hair does way better. Naturally, when it's short, but i like changing it off, so that's why i'm growing it out for the extensions, but because of this. This is why i choose to curl my hair when i have my extensions out more just because it fills it in more thickens. It up everywhere blends in where i'm a little bit more, naturally thin. So tamalaqua do your magic and again, i'm counting to about 10 to 20 seconds, definitely more on the 22nd side before i'm letting it out and then again as i let it out. I'M just opening up my clamp and slightly pulling so that way. I maintain the whole curl pattern and i'm not pulling anything out as i go so another nice thing that i do love about taimo, just in general, they almost like all their products, give you a travel bag. So this as well comes with a travel bag. Again, it comes with a glove and the two clips, so it's great for if you're on, vacation, somewhere or going on a girls weekend or with your hubby, whatever you've got a nice way to secure this, so it doesn't get all dinged up dented. So i always appreciate that they give you a travel option to carry your tools with tymo. So one thing i want to make note, while i'm wrapping most of my hair in the iron, i'm not doing this traditional start from the bottom, like the old school method. I'M coming right in the middle, placing in my iron, letting my clamp down and then rolling. So it starts at a little bit more of a halfway point to keep it a little softer and again, you can leave out a little bit of the ends. I just prefer to wrap up a little bit more for my first day and then, when i touch up in the morning, anything that might need touched up. I just kind of go in at random and i might do softer ones, thicker sections it all just depends on kind of what i'm feeling and how it looks. Okay, so now that i'm moving further up my head into the sides, i like to just go back and forth between my side section so i'll, just let down a little bit at a time versus the whole piece of my um next area. So i'm going to lift up again. First we're going to spray with our heat protectant, then a little hairspray, i'm still gon na tease, and then i like to sometimes to get a little bit more body hold my hair. All the way up come in with my iron sort of almost like i'm over directing and try to keep that hair lifted straight up. So it's creating a little bit more height versus if i'm coming just straight down or at a vertical with it. Just to keep the vent flowing at the root nice and then we're slowly letting out the section and i'm going to choose to spray it immediately with my hairspray. Just because i want to maintain as much height here as possible, so sometimes i'll even slide. My finger underneath it hold it up and spray that way as it cools. It'S still got that nice bend to it all right. So now i'm gon na move in to this other side. Here, just splitting in half. So again, i'm pulling up and rolling down with it to try to slightly over direct and get a little bit of extra bend, especially in this top area. On my right side, it's like, i feel, like i'm balding as flat as can be on this side of my head, so i'm always fighting to get the extra lift and volume that i want here drives me crazy. I know not. Everyone'S hair is perfect, but if i could at least just have a little more thickness on this side, i feel like my hair would be more acceptable in my mind. Okay, so i'm gon na let this out and then again i'm gon na sort of almost re-twist with my hands to create a little bit more curl here and spray just so it gets a little bit more spring to it and i get a little bit more Hold of volume here where i've got that bound bend and then i'm going to move on to my next piece again we're going to slowly let out and i'm going to lightly kind of sort of twist with my fingers to keep that bend spray. And then let my hand fall back down, but just to keep a little extra spring, you could opt to do a pin um after letting out the hair. But i don't know i feel like that. Just gets to be too time consuming and it throws in an extra curve ball there. So sometimes i feel like it's easier to just kind of push it up with my fingers and then spray it to set it into place and then again, as i'm moving up. My head, i'm not running my fingers through any of the hair, that's already curled, i'm really letting those set in and cool down and then once i'm done with the top, and i let that cool i'll show you guys how i like to sort of run my Hands through it just to soften it up a little bit, but without putting too much um, fingering or combing to my hair. So i've got about three more sections left to curl and then we will almost be done. So one thing i will say that i'm noticing, while using this iron, is each individual curl that i let out the hair. It definitely does have a much like softer hydrated feel um, sometimes with the amount of hairspray or heat protectant that i spray on with other curling irons. I almost sort of have like a crunch um feel to it when i'm letting it out like it, gets a little stiff, uh, which i am not noticing that at all with this. So, there's definitely something to the hydration that it takes from the moisture in the air putting it into your hair, which is, i would definitely could see how it would help keep your hair hydrated and a little bit more healthy, while curling versus other curling irons. I don't know how many people, like a stiff, feel with their curls. So if you don't, this, iron might just be for you, because it definitely keeps them very soft feeling, as i've been letting out each curl. Okay. So now that i am to my final top sections, where i part my hair, i'm still going to tease, but i'm not going to tease quite as much just because i want to be able to keep it soft as far as to blend in so. Instead of let's say doing six, i'm only going to do about three, so fine side of my comb lift my hair. So, just enough that i get a little bit of a lift here, but it'll be easier for me to smooth through and then with keeping my hair lifted, i'm going to roll into it, keeping the curvature at the top to create that shape a little bit more. For my height, then again, i'm finishing off this last section with same teasing that i did on this last top part. Just three teases remember: you can sort of twist the curl with your fingers and set with hairspray to create just a little extra curl and volume. Now we have our last piece: okay, so now that i have it all curled i'm going to do one final coat of hairspray and i'm going to let it sit and cool down before running through my hands to smooth it out. Okay. So now my hair is cooled down so literally to fluff through it i just sort of like to mess up with my hands a little bit i'll flip my head and just run my hands through my hair use my comb a little bit if need be. Okay, so i've just used my comb to kind of smooth out where i had it teased and just run my hands through it and look at all the body and volume that i have and my ends feel super soft super hydrated that i am not going to Complain about, i feel like there's a lot of shine to my hair too, which sometimes, like i said with all the hairspray that i do. I get a little crunch with traditional irons, so all the little sauna spa treatment, my hair got, makes a difference. This look is so easy and doable for just about everyone.
