Why People Curl Hair?

Apart from the style quotient, curling is a great way to add

body to any hair type and length, except when it?s really

short. It?s one of those ?ready wash and go? hair styles that

frees you from the hassles of blow-drying and setting.

Moreover, there are so many varied curly hairstyles ? tight

curls, waves, maggi curls, etc. ?that choosing one should not

be difficult at all. You can either curl your hair by

yourself at home or get the help of a professional from a

good saloon.

Important Aspects One should be Aware of Prior Curling Hair

* Your hair will refuse to take the curls if it?s

colored. You will only end up spoiling your hair if you still

get your colored / streaked hair curled. This is truer in the

case of permanent hair curling.

* Do not go for permanent curls (or perms) if your hair

is weak. This is because weak hair cannot easily withstand

hard chemicals used during curling. To find out if your hair

is healthy or weak, put few strands in a glass of water. If

they sink, it means your hair is weak because it is soaking

up moisture.

* Thick hairs take curls more easily than fine hairs.

* The tightness of the curls will depend on the size of

the curling rod.

* Depending upon hair length and thickness, a permanent

curly hairstyle will sustain for a minimum of two months and

a maximum of six months.

How to Curl Straight Hair using Curling Iron?

While you can get your hair curled by a hair stylist, you can

also choose to curl them at home. Just follow the

instructions given below. The duration for curling hair can

vary between 30 minutes and one hour depending upon the

length and thickness of hair.

Things you will need:

* Volumizing spray
* Straightening balm (if you have thick, course hair)
* Hair dryer
* A one-inch barrel curling iron
* Ponytail holder and bobby pins
* Shine serum
* Hairspray
* Saltwater spray

How to Curl Your Hair? ? The Process

* After washing your hair, flip them upside down and

spray volumizing hair-spray on roots. Massage it in. If your

hair is rough, then apply a bit of straightening balm.
* Gently brush your hair as it will work the hair

products you just applied very evenly throughout. Blow dry

them straight beginning from the roots adding volume.

Alternate with cold air.

* Part your hair into three sections, securing each with

a ponytail holder. Next you will use a wide-barrel curling

iron to curl your hair. So deal with one section at a time.

Take neat bunches of hair now and sprit it with styling hair

spray. To curl the hair, wrap it around the barrel of a

curling rod.
* Release the curl after about seven to ten minutes. Hold

the hair in the curler for a longer duration if you want

tighter ringlets. Alternating the direction will make the

curl appear more natural. Once the pinned curls have cooled,

free them from the curling iron.

* Do not brush your hair. On the other hand, separate the

curls with your fingers. To add shine, spray on some hair

serum. Take care not to overdo the hairspray if do not want

your curls to feel crunchy.
