This hair is from my own hair company. The name is Arianna Elif calm. If you guys are interested in purchasing this hair, you guys can click the link down below in the description box. Alright. So let's just go ahead and jump right into the video. These are two of the products that I will be using today. This is the proclaim gloss polish, and this is btz turn up the heat with this product. Specifically this one, it kind of helps the hair have a little bit more shine, but since it is kind of a heavy or serum product, it does help the curls hold a little bit better. Now this is for, if you have either african-american hair or if you have a wig or weave or anything like that, if you have straight white girl hair, this probably would not be a product for you, because it's going to make your hair kind of lay down And a little bit greasy this product is bomb. I don't think it really matters. What hair type you have. I haven't tried it on Caucasian hair as of yet, but this product really helps the flatiron do its job. It helps it work really. Well, it helps the hair stay straight. It helps to hold its curl as well as it gives it a good shine, and this one is a little bit lighter than the proclaim serum. So you guys can try it both. You can try one. It'S really up to you, the flat iron that I'll be using today is the babyliss Pro titanium. This is, I think, it's one and a half inch, I'm not sure, but I'm gon na have all the products down below in the description box. I will also be using a hot comb. This is specifically for wigs. I don't really recommend using a hot comb on real hair because it could potentially cause damage. If you have natural hair straight hair, whatever hair you have so the hot comb is really optional. The last product that I will be using is an ion comb. The last tool that you will need is a wide tooth comb. We'Re not gon na need this until the very end, so just kind of put it to the side, and then I will let you guys know when you need it. I will be using a lid today only because it's a lot easier for me to show you guys how I curl the back of the hair instead of just like facing the camera and looking crazy, and then y'all can't see what I'm doing before. You even think about curling your hair. You guys want to make sure that you are starting on freshly shampooed and conditioned hair as well as you want to blow-dry it beforehand. I decided to do that off camera because it stays a lot of time. So the rule of thumb is you guys want to curl away from your face. So if you're on this style, you want to take the flat iron and you want to flip it and curl it back this way. And then, if you are on this side, you would want to curl in the opposite direction that way on both sides. The curls will be going away from your face, something else that can help you guys before you start curling. You guys do want to have your part already sectioned out whether it's your real hair or wig. That way, you guys can know what hair goes where, if you guys are doing the middle part, it would be really easy for you guys to just split it down the middle. Also, in the back of your leg, you want to just split that down the middle, because half of it is gon na curl in one direction and then the other half of your hair is gon na curl in a different direction. I wear my part on this side, so all I'm doing is parting it in the direction that I want it to lay that way. I'Ll have to go back in at the end and recurve anything since we're curling today, instead of me parting it off horizontally. What I will do is I will make sure that I have more so like a rectangular shaped section more so going vertical. That way, all the curls will like go in the same direction. It just works for me. You guys are more than welcome to try it out. It may or may not work for you, but it's just an option. Eat easy. You don't want to spray too much of this product because you don't want to weigh it down, but it does give the hair a very nice shine. So pretend like my face is right here you want to take the Flatiron and you want to go in from the top side and you can just curl away now how many times you wrap the hair around the Flatiron. It'S completely up to you. It honestly depends on how tight you want your curls to be, as you guys can see right here. It'S not really curled like how it is over here, there's absolutely nothing wrong with going back and fixing your mistakes. If a girl doesn't look how you want it to just make sure that you go back over it again now again, this is on a wig. If it is your real hair, you guys want to make sure that you kind of get it right on the first. Try because heat damage is real. If you haven't noticed, I keep the Flatiron vertical the whole time while curling it that way, it will fall in the direction. I also had the temperature of this Flatiron step to 450. Again, it's a wig, it's cool. If it's real hair, I would recommend having it on 390, maybe even 355. If your hair does not really take well to eat, I wouldn't necessarily say that curling short hair is hard. In my opinion, you are only as good as your tools. So if you have like a huge flat iron and your hair is shorter than the hair that I'm demonstrating on its gon na be pretty hard for you to get the curls that you're looking for. If that's the case - and I would just recommend getting a smaller flat iron, so if this one is one and a half inches, I would recommend for you getting either one inch or 3/4 of an inch if they make them smaller than that, then just get smaller Flutters another trick that I have for you guys is, as you are curling. Yes, you want to make sure that you keep the rotation on the flat iron the same throughout the entire curl, but once you get to the end, if you have like a blunt cut, hairstyle or something you guys do want to make sure that you kind of Curled that ends a little bit more. That way, it won't look straight on the ends. Cuz. I see right here like this is okay, but I would prefer for it to look curled all the way through, instead of like straight on the ends right here. It'S kind of hard to explain, but if you guys are actually doing this, then you guys will understand what it is that I'm talking about you don't want to have it curled and then like a straight piece at the end, if you guys are working on a Wig, you want to make sure that you part off some hair too, cover the tracks at the back of the frontal, because we're not trying to see tracks now we're on the opposite side of the wig. So now it's time for us to curl the hair. This way, the one thing I will say with short hair, if you want to see the curls, you have to start curling almost as soon as you clamp the flat iron onto the root with longer hair. You can kind of get away with curling a little bit down, but you got ta curl as soon as possible. I honestly say grabbing for the top looks the best, even though it's a little bit harder to do it. It doesn't look the best because the curls on this side look the same as they do on this side: they're curly at the root and then like towards the end they kind of like flick out a little bit and it kind of gives it like. I don't know it's just like a very pretty look. It looks very Bridal in my opinion, but it is still very pretty the hair that frames the face is slightly different, but I'm going to explain that part once I get all the way to the front right now. I'M just gon na curl all the hair in the same direction. That way, I can kind of visualize what I'm working with just a tip for my leg. Where is out there, whatever hair that you have, that is at the back of the front, so that is going to cover the tracks a way to keep the hair going in. That direction is to just use your hot comb, and you just want to go in and just flat on there really quick and only do the roots you don't have to do the whole piece of hair since we're at the front of the hair. What I do differently is, instead of immediately starting to curl the flatiron once I get to the root of the hair, so I kind of like pull the Flatiron down a little bit and then I start curling it at the ends of the hair. And then you can just like pull it back so, instead of it just being like all curled up here, I don't know. I just don't like how that looks whenever it immediately starts curling at the root. Whenever you have like a medium to short bob, I just don't like how that goes now we're at the front which, in my opinion, is the most important part. There are two ways to curl your hair. If you are a person who likes your hair to be in your face, then you would just curl it this way and it would still curl like away from your face. So for you you would take a flat iron and you would curl the hair this way. Okay, follow me: I personally don't want my hair like that today, the style that I want to do is kind of like up and sexy and like out of my face so that way it'll fall like this. So, in order to do that, first of all, you want to take your hot comb or just your brush or comb, and you want to get all of the hair going in the same direction: spray the btz product on your hair. If that is what you are using, you just want to pull it out and then once you get towards the end of the hair, that's where you want to start curling it. Not only am i curling the hair away from my face, I'm also pulling the hair back this way and then I'm starting my curl, because I don't want it to be like really really in front of my face. I wanted to have like, like a volume type of look, it's very hard to explain. I think you guys would do a lot better if you guys just looked at what I was doing all right now. You just take your hot comb. If you are using that - and you just want to kind of like keep the hair out of your face, something else I like to do to get my hair some more volume, if I want my hair to go this way, I will part it and then pull It this way and hot comb it that way just the roots, and then I like flipping back over you guys see how they like made. It stand up already the last step that you guys need to do. Is you want to break out your wide tooth comb and then you just want to gently start combing out the curls. I got this at Walmart. It came in a pack. I don't really remember how much it was. But again, everything is down below in the description box start at the root, and you just want to gently comb out the curls, and you want to comb them into the direction that you want. You, the bangs are a little bit different. How I like to do them, I like to comb it back and then I'll take my finger and I'll kind of like move it over and then I'll pinch right here and just like swoop the rest of it back now again, it may or may not be Perfect, if this is your first time, curling, hair and even for me, sometimes I still struggle with getting it to look a certain way and if you have like a piece of hair, that's looking weird there's nothing wrong with going back and curling that piece, she's, ready And this is the finished result, it's very pretty very effortless and it's perfect for almost any day or any occasion. It'S super simple how to get this. I promise you guys the more you practice, the better you will get at curling hair.
