This trendy curling technique will get even the most stubborn hair to hold a curl.
There’re so many ways to give your locks a whirl and get majestic curls. From no-heat styling methods to traditional heat styling with a curling iron – creating a curled hairstyle is a sure bet for any occasion. And with a sausage curl hack, you’ll enjoy your ringlets for days!
Sausage curls are taking over social media lately. This curling method gives your curls more time to set, resulting in textured and beautifully shaped spirals. Originally, the technique came from heatless hair rollers that look like giant sausages. The same happens to your hair when you combine all your curls into one big spiral before combing it through. Sounds fun, right? Let’s try it right now!
The idea is to curl your hair with a curling wand section by section on one side first. Then, use your thumb and index finger to gather the curled locks into one big spiral as if you’re wrapping spaghetti around a fork. Repeat the process on the other side to get two sausage curls. Take two claw clips and let your curls set for at least 10 minutes.
If your hair is heavy or you’re wearing hair extensions, go for 40 minutes instead and make sure to use a hairspray for a stronger hold. It’ll give your curls more time to cool down and make sure that each curled strand seals its shape. The final step is to let your hair loose and gently comb through the curls for an effortless look.
If you’re a Dyson girlie but still want your curls to last, this curling technique is for you. A tornado method is a variation of sausage curls for the airwrap styler. All you need to do is to take the airwrap barrel and start curling your hair as usual.
The secret is to hold the barrel closer to the roots and use your other hand to direct the strand for a tighter curl. While releasing the curl, move your styler downward and keep holding it close to the strand to create a tornado effect, when the strand keeps wrapping itself tightly in a sausage curl. Let those curls set for a while and run a comb through the hair to achieve chic beach waves.
If your hair has a hard time keeping curls, give the sausage curl method a try and enjoy a lasting hairstyle!
