New Tutorials!
Have you ever wondered what to use to curl your hair? We’ve put together tutorials on curling with a traditional curling iron, a wand and a flat iron so you can see the different out comes. It was funny when we started to plan these videos, because all of us had a different favorite tool and we are showcasing how we curl our hair at home.
Traditional Curling Iron Curls by Faith
· Prep your hair with a heat protectant, we love Firewall by AG.
· Take a horseshoe shaped section around your head, from ear to ear.
· Start in the front and work to center back. Curling each front piece towards you face and alternating direction from there.
· Continue with your next horse shoe shaped section, above the first.
· Alternate the first curl direction away from the face this time, continue alternating each curl from front to center back.
· Move to the third horse shoe section. Begin in the front curling the front pieces away from your face.
· Curl all top pieces to the back or away from your face.
Flat Iron Curls by Riley
· Prep you hair with a heat protectant, like Deflect by AG.
· Begin with a horizontal subsection behind the ears.
· Ribbon the hair(yes, like gift wrap) in alternating directions.
· Work front to center back on both sides.
· Drop down your next horizontal section. Begin by curling each section away from your face and alternating.
· Continue this pattern until all the hair is curled.
· Once curls have cooled, run your fingers through them to break them up and place them as desired.
Wand Curls by Jenna
· Prep your hair with a heat protectant like Firewall by AG
· Split hair in half, based off of where you are parting.
· Take a diagonal back subsection, from front to back.
· Begin curling in the front, curl away from your face. Alternate curl directions from there.
· Continue working your way up the head.
· Repeat this pattern on the other side of the head.
· Let curls cool completely before breaking them up.
· I like to use a gloss, like Texture Gloss by AG, when I break my curls up.
· Yes, I totally flip my head over and shake them out every time! Scrunching them helps them from becoming too soft and keeping their shape.
Tips for Curls:
· Prep your hair with a product that has memory like a foam, gel, or spray. Serums do not have memory and are great for you hair, but add some memory too!
· When you are taking a section, the smaller the section the tighter the curl and the larger the softer.
· Let your curls cool completely before you break them up, this will add more memory and longevity.
· I like to hairspray mine a little before and after I break my curls up.
· You can always go back and re-curl a piece! These curls can totally be sisters, not twins!
