These smart hair hacks will teach you how to curl your hair like a pro.
Curling your hair with a hot tool is a sure way to get soft and defined ringlets. To make them last, however, you need to upgrade your curling technique and use the right styling products for a stronger hold. So, if you think you know everything about the hair curling magic, we’re rushing to tell you there is more to it.
Depending on your chosen type of curls, you can add more bounce to the hairstyle and make sure it lasts longer. Here are three genius (and so simple!) styling tricks to keep your curled locks flowy and springy.
We all have those days when we simply don’t have enough time for anything but still want to look good. If you’re always running late, this quick and easy styling hack with a curling wand is your lifesaver. To begin with, section out your front pieces and put the rest of the hair into two high pigtails.
Grab your favorite curling iron and curl each section of the pigtail away from the face. Proceed with the front section by curling it up and away from the face. Take the scrunchies out and fluff through your hair for a more natural look.
The way you pin curl your hair makes a huge difference. Rolling from the top of the strand, not the bottom, will give your locks the most volume. If you want your curls to last all day without dragging down, this trick is exactly what you need.
Before rolling your strands upwards and pinning them to the place, put two fingers at the top and push the root up, just like in the video. Then, open your fingers and wrap your strand around them to form a pin curl. Slide the hair clip through the hole, making sure that the hair is sitting up and around it. Use the hairspray after you have taken the pin curls out and enjoy the voluminous ‘do!
Want to give your curls a fuller appearance? This curling technique with a straightener is your chance to keep the volume higher up and prevent the curled strands from falling flat. To achieve the look, straighten the hair section from the top first.
Next, twist the strand around the straightener and pull it through the tool while applying tension. The idea is to form the curl closer to the root to bring more volume to the locks. Finish off the style with a touch of a hairspray, and you’re ready to rock!
We hope these curling hacks will make your styling routine a bit easier and less time-consuming. Give them a go, and you’ll see how good hair advice can transform your hairstyle.
