Question

and how long do you hold the curling iron in place for?? thanks!

Answer 1

Take small/med sections working from the top down and curl under for a bouncy curl. If you want the ringlet curls curl the hair towards your face holding the curling iron straight up (point to the ceiling).
Once your done curling use your fingers to loosen the curls. If you use a brush you will either brush it out or get frizzy.
If your happy with your results, spray with hairspray.

Answer 2

Depends on if you are doing candi curls or just curling back on top ???
But best advice is to split hair into many different sections and only curl like 30-40 hairs at a time and this is also depending on how thick or thin your hair is!
But leave it there until Your Hair on the curling iron is Hot to the touch and then release your hair from it.

It depends on how long your hair is. Shoulder length- definatly part it and use clips. If you go in sections you can avoid missing sections. Don't forget to check with a mirror when you're finished to make sure you didn't miss any. Holding the curling iron in place for about 10 seconds should be fine. If the curl doesn't hold like you want it to- go for longer. If you're going to be curling your hair a lot, make sure to get protective spray (found at most stores such as Walmart) to avoid damaging your tips. Goodluck!

Answer 4

Yeah first you put it i different sections then when you're about to put the curling iron in it, you spray that section with some kind of holding spray like spritz and you hold the curling iron there for like 3-5 seconds and you should be good to go

Answer 5

Grab small sections of hair. "clip" the tip of the hair section to the curling iron and turn it until you get to the top of your head ( if you want the curls to start lower, stop at a lower point)
Depending on the curling iron , you need to keep it steady from 5 to 20 seconds ( hotter irons 5 sec)
let the iron "unclasp" your hair letting fall.

Repeat with all strands of hair until done.

Answer 6

to curl your hair first split your hair in half then start from the back curling all the way to the front in small sections, for each section of hair you curl leave curling iron for at least 10 to 15 seconds

Answer 7

It is easier to pull your hair back and pin it up in sections. How long you hold it in depends on how you want your curls. A shorter time with a lighter roll will get soft waves and a longer time with a tighter roll will get you tight ringlets. Good luck!====Oh, I forgot to tell you---hot rollers are much much easier to use for all over your head. I use my curling iron only to touch up sections.

Answer 8

mist ur hair with water a bit first
then curl it for about a min and a half
then just pull the curling iron out of the curl, dont unravel it
let it cool a bit, the mist with hairspray.

Answer 9

use a clip to pull all of it back except about a 1 or 2 inch peice. make sure you roll the iron under and not up bc it flips out it you go up. only roll it about half way then spray hairspray on it. then roll it all the way and spray some more. hi hold it in there for like 60 seconds. for bigger peices about a minute and a half and little peices about 40-50 seconds.

Answer 10

plug in curling iron, wait 'til hot, place in hair and curl
