Should You Straighten Your Hair Before You Curl It? : Updos & Hair Styling

Hi, my name is Claire Coleman. I am a hair stylist and I'm going to answer the question of. Should you straighten your hair before you curl? It there's actually a couple of answers for that question. If your hair is very frizzy, if it's unmanageable and you want a different curled look than what you have usually curl, usually hair, that's curled does tend to be a little bit frizzy. So it might be a good idea to straighten it out. It'S gon na seal up your hair shaft and make it easier to manage while you're curling your hair. Also, if you have tight curls and you want your look to have more loose waves - definitely straighten it out. Then it creates more of a foundation for you to be able to build off of that, to create the look that you exactly want if your hair is already straight you're not going to need to straighten it beforehand, so using a straightener to do. That is just kind of it doesn't really make any difference. You'Re just going to be using your curling iron to get the look that you desire. Basically, if you feel that your hair is a little bit on the frizzy side, a straightening iron is really going to help to straighten everything out, make it nice and smooth, and that way your curls would be nice and manageable.
