Hair Crisis!! Pleases help!!?

Question

Okay I have this big -thick- curling iron, just as I was told to buy to get hair with bigger curls like Miley Cyrus's hair, but everytime I heat it up and curl my hair with it, it only curls the bottum, I want it curled like that the whole way up like this -> http://www.teenidols4you.com/blink/Actors/miley_cyrus/miley_cyrus_1180279584.jpg but I can never seem to get it like that, and yes my hair is long like her's and yes Im holding it in to heat for more than 50 seconds, So my question is, how can I make it work? I mean..should I hair spray it on every strand of hair while im rolling it up to curl or something? Please help, Its really important to me. Thanks.

Answer 1

Zoe,
There are several things you can do to get the results you want. First, while your hair is wet, use a mousse or gel on it that are made for a fairly strong hold. Every company uses different wording to indicate their strengths of hold, so look at several bottles to see which is which. Then put it in your hair a little at a time, until you can tell it's there, but not so much that it feels gooey or sticky. Comb it through so that it's distributed from your scalp to the ends of your hair. Blow-dry your hair so it's smooth by holding your dryer over the top of your hair strands, in the cool setting,

Next: pick up a small piece of your hair to curl. Place the curling iron about half-way down your hair. Hold the ends up as you wind the curling iron toward your scalp. When you have wound the curling iron up as far as it will go, begin wrapping the unwrapped ends of your hair around the curling iron. Finish the wrap by tucking the ends under the curling iron and hold it until you think it has curled your hair.

Third, unwind the curling iron carefully to avoid tangling your hair. Pin or clip it in rolled up form while you continue to curl the rest of your hair.

Now is when you can use a bit of hair spray, especially inside the curl. Once you have curled, pinned, and sprayed your curls, let then sit a while and cool (and dry from the hair spray.)

Let the curls down one at a time, starting at the bottom and working toward the top of your head. Fluff or pull or brush your curls out to the shape you want your hair and finish with hair spray.

During the curling process you will have to re-heat your curling iron several times because it wil get too cool. If you have problems trying this, and it will take practice to get good at it, you can email me through my profile. Have fun with it. Who knows, you may invent something new for your hair while you are working on this style.

Lastly, Miley Cyrus' hair looks that good because she has professional stylists working on it before photos and performances. Your hair will not likely stay like that for too long. Long hair has a lot of weight that pulls it down, and loosens the curls.

Answer 2

Here's the trick: Wrap your hair in a SPIRAL around the curling iron, or curl it in sections.

If your hair is long, the weight of the hair may be pulling the curl out. You may, indeed, have to use hair spray while curling.

One last thing: I'm sorry, but the girl in that picture has extensions. Hair that long does NOT support curl all the way up, and I can tell from the bottom thickness as compared to the top that it's not all her hair.

Answer 3

okay
you don't have to remove the clamp off of the iron, but i recommend it
(there are vids on youtube)
point the iron down so that the cord is pointing up
then, twist your hair around the iron, make sure that all of your hair is touching the iron. not overlapping each other

if you have really thick or hard to curl hair, then yes, put hair spray on each section, if not, then just top the style off with hairspray but not on each section

Answer 4

hmm, brush it out, placed a hair creme, gel or some thing that de frizzes and then curt it back. you recognize straightning is quickly. once you do each and each area placed slightly of the creme on it. in case you dont desire to try this, merely brush it out. then placed reme on it to make it much less poofy and it would be wavy, and in case you maintain flipping it and sorta making it flow right into a ponytail it rather is going to flow exceedingly. you additionally can merely rince your hair out over the sink and enable it airdry in a bun then take it out (use the hairdryer for speedier drying)
