Curling your hair with a curling iron...?

Question

do any of ya'll girls have any advice as to how to curl my hair using a curling iron. I can never use rollers because they never come out right, and my hair always ends up looking dumb. But I just bought a curling iron and I still can't seem to get it right. I always end up with the little "fish hook" looking thing on the end of my curl....any suggestions?

Answer 1

it looks HOT and SEXY do it

Answer 2

I started curling my hair a couple years ago using a curling iron...and this technique works for me every time. Sounds like I have the same length hair as you as well... 1) Part your hair where you like it. 2) Start with one side, and take sections of hair that are somewhat thin, but are 2 or 3 inches wide. 3) Curl the hair by placing the curling iron at the top of your head, DON'T open the clasp....just leave it shut. And wrap the hair around the barrel from the top to the bottom. It sounds like you were opening the clasp, and then rolling the hair from the bottom to the top. Since your not using the clasp, you'll have to hold the end of the section of hair in place, but I find this works much better. 4) Hold the hair and curling iron in place for 10-15 seconds per section of hair. 5) Continue this until all hair is curled, then toss curls so that they are more natural looking! I don't use any product, and my hair stays put all day...but you might want to set lightly with hairspray when finished. Hope this helps!

curl about one revolution higher than you want it. Use some sort of holder... like hair spray, lotion, pomade, heat hold.. to hold your curl.

Also it is important to use the right size barrel ( curling iron hot part) . Do you want bouncy curls? Tight Curls? Tight ones use smaller barrel.. bouncy use larger.. also u should get an iron with a dial adjuster. to adjust heat settings

Now the fish hook? Not sure if you are lettin the iron get hot enough or if this is from not making sure u take the iron to the edge of your hair...you have to take the iron.. start midway and smooth down the length of your hair... when u get close to the bottom start turning it..curling ur hair around it.. but then once u have some wrapped around open the clasper slightly and slideout the edge then wind some more..

I hope this makes sense....

Answer 4

the correct way to use a curling iron will take some practice. hold the iron to the end of the roots of the section you want to curl, then start clicking and turning the iron towards the end rolling in the hair evenly toprevent the fish hooks. hope this helps good luck to you

Answer 5

Pull your hair till it looks like it is going to fall out of the curling iron and then curl really easy!!

Answer 6

You have to pull the hair through all the way to the end and then curl that will get rid of the "fish hooks" and spraying your hair will give it a stiffer look than using mousse and blowdrying.

Answer 7

put hairspray on the piece of hair before using your curling iron. Or try putting mousse in all of your hair instead of using a curling iron works faster.

Answer 8

After you do the curl, take it and just curl the end that didn't curl with the iron. I hope this works and at least you've been warned about curling pubic hair!

Answer 9

Try spraying your hair first with hairspray, then use your curling iron...you will get a better curl.

Answer 10

go to a salon and get a shampoo and set.

my mum was a hairdresser and used to show her clients how to roller set their hair

The stylist in the salon should be able to help you out with type & sizes of rollers to use, setting lotions and should also be able to show you how to roll your own hair

My wife and daughters all use rollers as they feel curling irons can damage your

Answer 11

flat iron your hair and start from the very bottom of a chunck of hair use hair spray to get it to stick do it piece by piece and in layers, it takes some time but be patient and curl every chunck
